Project Management Software for Marketing Agencies in Manila
A Manila agency serving a US or European client often does its best work at 3am local time, and an hour worked on the night shift is just as easy to lose as one worked at noon.
An agency scene built to run on someone else's clock
The Philippines built one of the largest outsourcing and services industries in the world, and Manila, particularly Makati and Bonifacio Global City, is its commercial centre. A meaningful share of the marketing and creative services delivered from here run against a client's business hours on the other side of the planet, not Manila's own, with account and creative staff working shifts aligned to a US or European workday rather than a 9-to-5 in the Philippines.
That structure makes the standard agency billable-hours problem worse in a specific way: a "morning status check" concept doesn't map onto a team that starts its day at 9pm, and an account handler on a client call at 3am has even less appetite for stopping to log it than one on a call at 3pm. Meanwhile a creative team serving several overseas client accounts across overlapping shifts has to track capacity across a handoff, not just across a single working day, and a fourth brief accepted by the day shift can land on a night shift that's already fully booked.
ShipSprint's "my day" screen and status-by-board-position model don't depend on a shared working window. Whoever's on shift sees exactly what's current, and the time log sits right next to the task just finished whether that's 3am or 3pm.
What actually removes the chasing
A Manila agency working overnight for overseas clients doesn't need a status meeting scheduled for the wrong time zone, it needs the hours and the capacity visible whenever a shift checks in.
Logging a call or a design pass takes about five seconds and sits right next to the task just closed, so it works the same at 3am as it does at 3pm. The reminder for a missing day goes to the individual, not a supervisor who may be asleep when the gap happens.
Each account gets its own board with WIP limits, so a creative lead on any shift can see the team is already stretched across two clients before a third's urgent request gets accepted.
New briefs and client asks land in a shared inbox instead of scattering across a handover that only happens verbally, so a request that arrives overnight is still visible to the next shift on arrival.
Launch dates, content deadlines and approval stages run on their own board, visible to whichever shift is covering that account at any given hour.
ShipSprint tracks delivery and hours, not pipeline or invoicing. Most agencies run those separately, and this is honestly the part that stays separate.
A handoff that survives the shift change
Manila's workforce is often singled out for its strong English proficiency, a genuine advantage that's helped this industry grow as far as it has, but proficiency in the client's language doesn't fix a handoff between shifts that only happens verbally. Writing status into a board that the next shift reads on arrival captures the same information a verbal handoff would, without needing both shifts to be present at once. That matters for client trust too: an agency that can show precisely which hours were billed to which account, even across a 3am handoff, looks a lot more dependable than one asking a client to take its word for it.
None of that comes from watching how anyone spends the day. There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging and no activity tracking, only what was delivered and the hours logged against it, visible to the person the scorecard describes.
Questions from Manila agencies
Yes. Status lives on the board rather than in a meeting tied to a specific hour, so a night-shift team and a client in a different time zone can both see current status whenever they check in.
Yes. Time logs roll up by project, and projects can be structured per client account, so hours delivered against each one are visible without a separate reporting step.
No. There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging and no activity tracking, only work outcomes: what was delivered and hours logged by the person who worked them. Scorecards are visible to the person they describe and adjusted for leave.
Up to five people it's free permanently, with two projects. Team is ₹299 per user per month, and Business is ₹599 with forecasts, scorecards and the owner command center. Full detail is on the pricing page.
