Project Management Built for Software Agencies
Your devs context-switch between Jira boards, Toggl, and client Slack channels while retainer hours disappear untracked. Sagely puts tasks, time tracking, and client communication in one workspace per client. Your team ships code. You catch scope creep before it costs you.
One Platform Instead of a Asana-Harvest-Spreadsheet-Email Stack
Jira, Toggl, Slack, Google Docs — four tools that don’t talk to each other. Your PMs translate between them while developers wait for context. Sagely gives every client its own workspace: tasks, time tracking, retainer hours, and a unified Slack+email inbox in one place. Clients check status on their own portal without pinging your team.
Four things dev agencies actually need in a PM tool
Most PM software was built for one product team shipping one product. You manage eight client accounts with different scopes, billing structures, and clients who range from technical CTOs to non-technical marketing leads. Generic tools don’t fit. Here’s what does.
Multi-client project management without the board chaos
Each client gets a dedicated workspace: tasks, milestones, files, and time logs in one view. Organized by client, not by sprint. No more toggling between ten Jira boards and mentally reloading context before every task.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using Sagely for your software agency.
Every task has an estimate and logged hours attached. When a task goes over estimate, you see it the day it happens — not at invoice time. That’s when you still have options.
For agency work, yes. Jira is built for one product team on one codebase — not eight clients with separate scope and billing. Sagely organizes by client account, with time tracking, retainer management, and a client portal built in. No per-seat fees.
All requests — Slack or email — land in one inbox per client. A request converts to a task, gets assigned, and tracks against the retainer. The client sees it move from submitted to done without chasing anyone.
Yes. Each account can be fixed-price, retainer, or both. Retainer clients see live utilization; fixed-price clients see milestone progress. Both billing structures run side by side.
Slack and email per client land in one inbox. Replies go back through the original channel. Clients see no change on their end. Your team works from one place.
Yes. The portal shows task status and requests without exposing your internal tooling or code repos. No login required. You control what’s visible.
