Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Taipei

Everyone does three jobs

In a hardware-plus-software startup, the person who wrote the firmware last week is chasing a sample this week and interviewing a candidate on Friday. The work is spread across a whiteboard, a chat group, a spreadsheet of parts and somebody’s notebook. That holds until the first hire joins and asks where anything is.

Tool choice at this stage is mostly about not making a mistake you’ll pay for later. A free tool that turns into a trial, or a paid tool priced for a company ten times your size, both end in a migration at a bad moment, often in the same month as a prototype deadline.

ShipSprint’s Free plan covers the core boards for up to 5 users and 2 projects, with no time limit. When you need more, Team and Business are the same workspace with more turned on, so nothing has to be moved.

Keeping the reasons, not just the tasks

Early hardware decisions have long consequences. Why you chose one sensor over another, why the enclosure changed, which supplier quoted what: these are the questions a new engineer or a later investor will ask. The built-in wiki keeps them beside the tasks they produced, with page history, and any sentence on a page can become a task when a decision creates work.

For a small team, the my-day screen matters more than the backlog. Each person sees today’s items, logs time with one tap if you track hours, and can say “I’m blocked” so the co-founder who holds the supplier relationship is pulled in with the context.

Nothing in ShipSprint watches people. There are no screenshots, keystroke logs or activity tracking. As the team grows, Business scorecards are built from delivered work and self-logged hours, adjusted for leave and visible to the person they describe.

Plan the year around Lunar New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. On Team and up, capacity planning counts those holidays and approved leave, which keeps a small team from promising a demo in a week when half of it is away.

Signing up from Taipei: what to know first

Who you’re buying from. ShipSprint belongs to Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in Hyderabad, India. There is no office or local entity in Taiwan. Support is by email and in-app chat.

Time zones. IST is 2 hours 30 minutes behind Taipei every month of the year. The Indian working day covers your afternoon, so a morning question usually has a reply that same working day.

Billing. Paid plans are charged per seat in Indian rupees through Razorpay. Your card issuer or bank does the currency conversion. Your accountant can tell you how Taiwanese business tax treats a foreign software subscription.

Data protection. Once you hold customer or beta-tester details, Taiwan’s Personal Data Protection Act applies. Look over the sub-processor list and the security overview, and check them against your obligations and any investor or partner agreements, before that data goes into the workspace.
