The busy season and the short days can coincide
For many agencies in the Gulf, campaigns for Ramadan and Eid are among the biggest of the year. The difficulty is that the production often runs into Ramadan itself, when working hours are often shorter, and finishes just before an Eid holiday that takes the studio out for several days.
Plans made on a normal week's capacity don't survive that. Concepts get approved late, the shoot moves, and the final edits are squeezed into the last days before the holiday. Because Ramadan and both Eids move about eleven days earlier each year, the timeline that worked last year starts in the wrong week this year.
ShipSprint helps in two ways. On Team and up, capacity planning counts approved leave, out-of-office and public holidays, so the Eid break is in the plan from the start. And per-column WIP limits on each client's board show when the studio already has more in production than it can finish, before another brief is accepted.
From brief to delivered campaign
Client requests from email, calls and messages are logged once in the triage inbox and assigned to the right client board.
Each client's work on its own board, with WIP limits per column, so one big account can't quietly take the whole studio.
On Team and up, five-second time logs beside the task, collected into timesheets per person and per account.
Each client's guidelines and past decisions in the built-in wiki with page history. Any line of feedback can become a task.
Contacts and pipeline stay in your CRM. ShipSprint handles delivery once the client has signed.
Knowing what each client really costs
A retainer or a fixed-fee campaign only makes sense if someone counts the hours. On Team and Business, people log time in about five seconds next to the task they finished, and a missed day sends a reminder to that person rather than to their manager. Because each task sits on a client's board, the hours are already sorted by account when the month ends.
Everyone opens to a "my day" screen with today's tasks, the time log, and an "I'm blocked" button for when work stops waiting on client approval or assets. It brings in the account manager with the context attached.
On Business, scorecards draw on delivered work and logged hours, are adjusted for approved leave, and are visible to the person they describe. Nobody's screen is recorded and no activity is tracked. Business also adds delivery forecasts from measured velocity and the owner command center across every client.
Using ShipSprint from Doha: four points
Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., based in Hyderabad, India, makes ShipSprint. There's no office or local entity in Qatar, and support is through email and in-app chat.
Time zones. IST is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Doha, all year round. Most of your working day overlaps ours, so questions usually get an answer the same Indian working day. A message sent on Sunday may wait for Monday.
Billing. We bill per seat in Indian rupees through Razorpay, and your bank converts the charge to riyals. Whether any local tax applies to a service bought from outside Qatar is for your accountant to confirm.
Data protection. Mailing lists, competition entries and event registrations are personal data under Qatar's Personal Data Privacy Protection Law (Law No. 13 of 2016). Read the sub-processor list and the security overview against your obligations and each client's contract before uploading any of it.
