Project Management Software for Marketing Agencies in Reading

When the client's launch date moves, everything else moves too

Agencies that market business products work to someone else's timetable. The landing page, the launch emails, the case study and the paid campaign are all planned backwards from the day the client says the product ships. Then the client's engineering team slips by three weeks, and the agency has a fully booked studio for a launch that isn't happening yet, and nothing ready for the work that's now due instead.

The fix isn't a better guess at the client's date. It's being able to see, quickly, what depends on that date and who is booked on it, so the plan can be rebuilt in an afternoon rather than a week.

In ShipSprint, each client's launch is its own project, with cards for every deliverable and a launch checklist from the marketing template. When the date changes, the account lead can see every card tied to it, who owns each one, and what else those people are booked on.

Hours and capacity, account by account

On Team and up, logging time takes about five seconds beside the card just finished, and timesheets collect it by person and client. If a launch keeps moving and the client keeps asking for revised assets, the hours show it, which is the evidence an account lead needs for a fee conversation.

Capacity planning on Team and up counts approved leave, out-of-office and public holidays. Launches and events near the bank holiday weekends, Easter, or Christmas to New Year can be planned against the people who will actually be at work.

On Business, scorecards show each person's delivered work and logged hours, adjusted for leave and visible to them, and the owner command center shows every client on one screen. There's no screenshot capture, keystroke logging or activity tracking. ShipSprint also isn't a CRM: it doesn't hold contacts or a sales pipeline.

Using ShipSprint from Reading: what an agency owner should check

Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in Hyderabad, India, is the company behind ShipSprint. There's no office or local entity in the UK, and support is via email and in-app chat.

Time zones. IST is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of Reading in winter and 4 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer. Expect replies the same working day, Indian time, which suits questions you send before lunch.

Billing. We bill per seat in Indian rupees through Razorpay, and your bank converts the charge into pounds. Check with your accountant how VAT applies to services from overseas.
