Ten clients, one bench, and no single view of either
An IT services firm sells hours and outcomes to many clients at once, using the same pool of engineers. The work arrives through every channel available: a ticket in the client's portal, an email to the account manager, a message to the engineer who fixed the last problem. By Wednesday nobody can say with confidence which client's work is on track and which has been quietly pushed back by an urgent request from someone else.
The usual fix is a spreadsheet of who is on what, kept by the delivery manager and out of date by lunchtime. Time is logged at the end of the week from memory, so the hours billed to each client are an estimate, and the first sign that an account is unprofitable is the invoice.
ShipSprint gives each client its own project and board, with requests arriving in a triage inbox instead of a person's direct messages. Someone decides what gets scheduled and who takes it, and per-column WIP limits stop any one engineer from holding six half-finished jobs for five different clients.
What changes for the delivery manager
Most of this is on Team. The firm-wide view and the audit log need Business.
A time log takes about five seconds next to the task just closed. Timesheets on Team and up show where each client's hours went, without a Friday reconstruction.
Capacity planning on Team includes approved leave and out-of-office, so a client commitment isn't made against an engineer who is away next week.
Each client's setup notes and procedures live in the built-in wiki with page history. Any sentence in a runbook can become a task.
On Business, the workspace audit log records changes, including anything an AI assistant did on someone's behalf.
The manager dashboard on Team shows the team's load. On Business, the owner command center and Monday digest cover every client project.
When a client's data ends up in a ticket
Support tickets attract personal data: a user's name and email, a screenshot of their account, sometimes a patient or customer record pasted in to show the bug. Raleigh is one corner of the Research Triangle, around Research Triangle Park, and if some of your clients work in health care or life sciences, their contracts may require you to keep that kind of data out of third-party tools or to list every vendor who can see it. Settle that before the first ticket is copied in.
What ShipSprint offers here: every workspace is an isolated tenant, two-factor authentication is available to every user, and the full workspace exports as JSON on every plan. AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor connect over MCP on Team and up, and they can only see and do what the signed-in engineer can.
There's no screen capture, keystroke logging or activity tracking. Reminders to log time go to the engineer, not their manager, and on Business the scorecards are leave-adjusted and visible to the person they describe.
Holiday weeks need planning too. Thanksgiving week in late November, Independence Day on 4 July and the end-of-December holidays are when client systems still need watching but fewer of your engineers are working. Put the on-call cover on the board before those weeks arrive.
What a Raleigh IT firm should check before signing up
Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., based in Hyderabad, India, builds and supports ShipSprint. It has no office or local entity in the US, and support is by email and in-app chat.
Time zones. IST is 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of Raleigh in winter and 9 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer. Replies usually come the same working day in India, which is your night, so don't schedule a migration that depends on getting an answer mid-afternoon.
Billing. Each seat is billed in Indian rupees through Razorpay. Your card issuer or bank does the conversion to dollars. Ask your accountant whether any sales tax applies to a service bought from a foreign vendor.
Data protection. US privacy rules are a patchwork: no single federal law, but state laws such as California's CCPA and sector rules such as HIPAA for health data. Check the sub-processor list and security overview against your own obligations and each client's contract.
