Verity for software agencies

The sprint finished on time. The fixed-price budget finished two weeks ago.

A software agency prices a project before it knows what it is. Then the client changes the scope by chat, the API keys arrive late, the sprint slips for a reason nobody wrote down, and the timesheet is filled in on Friday. Verity ties the estimate, the sprint, the change request and the hours to one project record, so you can see the overrun in week three and not in week twelve.

Verity in one line

One system that knows every project's estimate, every change request, every sprint and every hour, and tells you which fixed-price job is burning money before the client does.

How it runs today

The developers manage the code well. The commercial side of each project is a guess.

A software agency of fifteen to eighty people runs a dozen projects at once, a mix of fixed-price builds, time-and-material work and monthly support. Developers live in the repository and the sprint board. Project managers run standups, estimate tasks and chase clients.

The commercial facts live elsewhere. The fixed price was quoted on a call and a spreadsheet. Change requests are chat messages. Client dependencies, such as content, designs and access, are tracked by whoever remembers. Timesheets are filled on Friday from memory. The founder holds the project margins in their head.

So the agency finds out late. A fixed-price project that has used 85% of its budget at 50% of its scope. A change that was agreed in a call and never priced. A sprint that failed because the client's API access arrived late, with the team blamed. A client invoice disputed because the hours do not match the sprint. General project data shows how common this is: PMI's 2018 Pulse of the Profession reported scope creep or uncontrolled change on 52% of projects.

What most software agencies run on

  • Task board per project
  • Git hosting
  • Chat groups with clients
  • Timesheet tool or spreadsheet
  • Quotation and invoice sheets

Each tool is fine for its job. Nothing joins the estimate, the change, the sprint, the hours and the invoice.

14 problems, one by one

Where a software agency actually loses money.

These are the situations founders, delivery heads and project managers describe again and again. For each one: what it looks like, what it costs, and what Verity does about it.

  1. 01Fixed price

    The fixed price was a guess

    What it looks like

    A client wants an app "like the one on the Play Store". A 200-hour estimate is made on a call and rounded up by 20%. The fixed price goes out the same afternoon. Nobody records what was included.

    What it costs you

    A price set before the scope is known is the root of most overruns. Example arithmetic: if the real build is 330 hours and the cost is ₹1,000 an hour, the overrun is 130 hours, or ₹1.3 lakh, against a margin that was perhaps ₹1.5 lakh.

    How Verity fixes it

    Every project starts from a scope list with an estimate per item and the assumptions behind them. The fixed price is tied to that list. Anything outside it is, by definition, a change.

    See the screen
  2. 02Fixed price

    Nobody sees the budget burning

    What it looks like

    A project has a 1,000-hour budget. Developers log time on Fridays. The project manager sees the total at month end and finds it at 880 hours with half the features done.

    What it costs you

    By the time it is visible, little can be done.

    How Verity fixes it

    Hours are logged against the project and scope item as work happens. Verity shows hours used against the budget next to the share of scope delivered, so a project that is burning faster than it delivers is flagged weekly to the delivery head.

    See the screen
  3. 03Scope

    Changes agreed in chat and never priced

    What it looks like

    A client asks on a call for a new report and a second login role. The account manager says "sure, we'll see". It goes into the sprint without a ticket for the change.

    What it costs you

    Each small yes is unpaid work. PMI's 2018 Pulse of the Profession found scope creep or uncontrolled change on 52% of the projects it surveyed.

    How Verity fixes it

    Any request outside the scope list becomes a change request with an estimate, a price and a client approver. Work on it does not start until it is approved, or until the delivery head accepts it as a free gesture, which is recorded.

    See the screen
  4. 04Scope

    Bug fixes and new features blur together

    What it looks like

    The warranty period ends in 30 days. The client raises 14 items. Seven are real defects, five are new features, two are "it should work like this" opinions.

    What it costs you

    New work gets done free under the label of a bug fix, and a real defect gets argued about.

    How Verity fixes it

    Every item raised after delivery is classified as defect, change or support. The warranty end date is on the project, and anything classed as a change goes to the change request flow.

    See the screen
  5. 05Sprints

    The client's delay becomes your delay

    What it looks like

    The sprint needed the client's payment gateway keys on Monday. They came the following Thursday. The sprint is reported as missed, and the client asks why.

    What it costs you

    Idle days for developers on a fixed-price project are paid for by the agency, and the client's delay goes unrecorded.

    How Verity fixes it

    Client dependencies, such as access, content, designs and decisions, are tracked with an owner on the client's side and a needed-by date. A late one is recorded with the days lost, so the plan is changed and the delay is on the record.

    See the screen
  6. 06Sprints

    Sprint carry-over with no explanation

    What it looks like

    Six of fourteen stories carry over to the next sprint. The retro says "estimates were off". Nobody can tell whether it was scope, dependencies, sickness, or a production issue.

    What it costs you

    Repeating the same causes means repeating the same slips.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each story that carries over records a reason from a short list: estimate, client dependency, defect, change, absence or other. The delivery head sees the causes across projects over the last several sprints.

    See the screen
  7. 07Sprints

    One developer, two sprints, no one counted

    What it looks like

    A senior developer is assigned to two sprints at 100% each. A third client calls her for an urgent fix. She works late, delivers all three late and resigns.

    What it costs you

    Overloading the best developer loses the project and then the person.

    How Verity fixes it

    Allocation is shown by person, project and week with leave and holidays. Anyone above 100% is flagged to the delivery head, and the request for an urgent fix is logged against a project, not given verbally.

    See the screen
  8. 08Timesheets

    Timesheets filled on Friday from memory

    What it looks like

    At 6 pm on Friday, twelve developers fill in a week of hours. Most pick even numbers. Debugging for a client's issue goes in under another project.

    What it costs you

    Wrong data produces wrong margins and disputes over the invoice. Example arithmetic: 10% of hours booked to the wrong project on 12 projects can hide a ₹3 to 4 lakh loss on one of them.

    How Verity fixes it

    Time is logged from the task, with project and scope item already filled, during or just after the work. Weekly approval by the project manager closes the week.

    See the screen
  9. 09Timesheets

    Non-billable time is invisible

    What it looks like

    Pre-sales calls, code reviews for other teams, hiring interviews and environment fixes take about a fifth of the senior team's week. None of it is logged.

    What it costs you

    Hourly rates are set as if all hours were billable, so the company is quietly underpriced.

    How Verity fixes it

    Non-billable categories such as pre-sales, internal tools and hiring are logged like projects. Verity shows billable and non-billable hours by person and week, giving the true utilisation to price against.

    See the screen
  10. 10Timesheets

    Time-and-material invoices that the client questions

    What it looks like

    The monthly invoice lists 640 hours. The client's manager asks what was done in week two. The project manager reconstructs it from commit messages.

    What it costs you

    Weeks of delay on a payment and a weaker relationship.

    How Verity fixes it

    Approved hours carry the task or scope item they were spent on. The invoice summary your finance team prepares comes from approved hours by person, rate and task, so the answer is already on the record.

    See the screen
  11. 11Handover

    Code, repositories and credentials in one person's name

    What it looks like

    The client's cloud account, the app store login and the production database password are held by one developer. She leaves, and a hotfix cannot be deployed.

    What it costs you

    A delayed fix on a live system and an awkward call to the client.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each project lists the accounts, repositories and environments, the person who holds admin access, a backup holder and the last review date. A resignation creates a handover task for each item.

    See the screen
  12. 12Handover

    Who owns the code was never written down

    What it looks like

    A client has paid in full and wants the source code and the right to host and modify it. The agreement says only "development services". A freelancer wrote a core module.

    What it costs you

    Under the Copyright Act, an assignment must be in writing, and if it does not state a period it is generally taken as five years, and if it does not state a territory, India only. Disputes at handover are costly and slow down payment.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each project has an ownership record: the agreement with the client, agreements with every freelancer, what rights were assigned and for how long, and the licences of third-party components. A project cannot be marked handed over without it.

    See the screen
  13. 13Handover

    Real customer data in test environments

    What it looks like

    To reproduce a bug, a developer copies a client's production database to a laptop. It stays there for four months after the project ends.

    What it costs you

    The DPDP Rules, notified in November 2025, set duties on those who process personal data, including security safeguards, breach reporting and deletion on the controller's instruction. Most duties start about 18 months after publication.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each project records which environments hold client data, who has access, and a deletion date. A project that closes creates tasks to remove copies and access, with a sign-off from the delivery head.

    See the screen
  14. 14Money

    Cash: milestone payments, foreign clients and tax on fees

    What it looks like

    A US client pays 60 days after invoice. A domestic client deducts tax on fees and sends the certificate months later. A freelancer developer is owed money that is overdue.

    What it costs you

    Cash gaps are bridged by the agency. Where a micro or small vendor is paid after the allowed period, Section 43B(h) generally disallows the expense until it is paid; the limit is 45 days from acceptance.

    How Verity fixes it

    Project billing events and vendor bills are records with dates and states. Verity lists what is due from clients and to vendors, by age. Your accountant handles tax deducted, certificates and foreign receipts; the records are ready.

The scope creep figure is for projects in general, not only software, and was seen through a secondary summary. Nasscom figures are as reported by PTI. No Indian survey on fixed-price overruns in software agencies was found, so those pains use labelled example arithmetic.

An ordinary day

The same Wednesday, before and after.

What changes is not the code. It is that the day leaves a record, and the record does the chasing.

WhenTodayWith Verity
9:30 TodayThe delivery head asks each project manager how their sprint is going. With VerityThe sprints view shows two dependencies late, three stories at risk and one developer over 100%.
11:00 TodayA client asks for "one more report" on a call. The account manager says yes. With VerityThe request is logged as a change with an estimate, and goes to the client approver for a price.
1:00 TodayThe team waits for payment gateway keys that were promised last week. With VerityThe dependency was flagged six days ago with the client contact named, and the delay is on the record.
3:30 TodayA developer fixes a client "bug" that is really a new feature. With VerityThe item was classed as a change, so it waits for a quote.
6:00 TodayDevelopers log the day's hours at the end of the week. With VerityHours were logged from the task as work happened, against the scope item.
Month end TodayInvoices are built from memory and disputed. With VerityApproved hours by task and delivered milestones are on the record, so finance prepares the invoice from them.

How we work with you

We set it up with you, in four weeks.

You do not get a login and a manual. We follow a project from quote to invoice, build Verity around how your scope, sprints and hours really move, bring in your data, then stay to make sure it keeps working.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery and mapping

    What we do
    Trace one fixed-price project and one time-and-material project from quote to invoice. Sit in a sprint planning and a change discussion. Note where scope, hours and money stop lining up.
    What we need from you
    Two to three hours of yours and your delivery head's. Three recent quotes with their final invoices and hours.
    What you have at the end
    A written map of your agency: projects, pricing models, scope lists, sprint routine, timesheets and the first gaps we will close.

  2. Weeks 2 to 3

    Configuration

    What we do
    Set up client and project records, scope lists, change request flow, dependency tracking, allocation, timesheet categories, handover records and the six screens in your own terms.
    What we need from you
    Check the setup with a project manager and a senior developer. Tell us where a stage, category or rule is wrong.
    What you have at the end
    A working Verity with your real projects, pricing models and rules, ready for your data.

  3. Weeks 3 to 4

    Migration and training

    What we do
    Bring in clients, active projects, scope lists, current allocations and recent hours from your sheets and tools. Train each role on its own screen using live projects.
    What we need from you
    Your project list and timesheet export in whatever form they exist. One hour with each role.
    What you have at the end
    Your projects, scope and hours inside Verity, and a team that has run a real change request and a real sprint through it.

  4. After go-live

    Operations partnership

    What we do
    Stay on after launch. Review the first month of budgets, changes and utilisation with you, tune the limits, and handle changes when you add a client, a team or a pricing model.
    What we need from you
    A short monthly review of what the numbers say.
    What you have at the end
    A system that keeps matching how the agency runs, with someone responsible for it.

Bring these on day one

  • Three recent quotes with scope and final invoice
  • A month of timesheets
  • Your list of active projects with pricing model
  • Client agreements, including any ownership terms
  • A list of accounts and repositories you hold for clients

Your time

About 9 to 12 hours of your own time across the four weeks, mostly in week 1. Your delivery head needs a few more.

After go-live

Nobody is hired to run Verity. Scope, hours and dependencies are recorded as part of work the team already does, and views come from those records.

Verity AI

Ask your agency a question. Get an answer, not a report to build.

Verity AI reads your own project, scope, sprint and timesheet records. Ask in plain language, then turn the answer into tasks for the right people.

  • Your records only Answers come from your own software agencies data, not from generic knowledge.
  • Right person, right view It only shows what the person asking is allowed to see.
  • Turns into action An answer can become a task assigned to a named person.

Verity / Ask

Which fixed-price projects are burning faster than they are delivering?

Three of nine. Ledgerly is the worst, at 88% of budget with 52% of scope done.

  • Ledgerly app88% budget, 52% scope
  • Retail POS71% budget, 60% scope
  • Pay Hub66% budget, 55% scope

Create review tasks for each project manager

Verity / Ask

How many hours did we spend on unpriced changes last month?

142 hours across five projects, worth about ₹2.1 lakh at your standard rate.

  • Ledgerly64 h
  • HealthPlus38 h
  • Retail POS22 h
  • Others18 h

Create quote tasks for the account managers

Verity / Ask

Which projects have a single person holding all admin access?

Four. Two of them close within 30 days.

Create backup-holder tasks

Sample questions and answers with illustrative figures.

Without chasing

The follow-ups nobody has time to make.

Set once, then they run from your records. Your team still talks to clients and developers; Verity makes sure the right person knows what to do.

Rules and paperwork

The rules a software agency has to keep up with.

Verity does not give legal or tax advice and does not file anything for you. It keeps the records these rules depend on in order, so you are not hunting for them when someone asks.

  • Copyright assignment (Copyright Act, 1957, Section 19)

    What is expected

    An assignment of rights in code must be in writing and signed. If it does not state a period, it is generally taken as five years, and if it does not state a territory, as India only. Rights not used within a year can lapse unless the assignment says otherwise.

    How Verity helps

    Each project has an ownership record covering client and freelancer agreements, period, territory and third-party licences.

    Advocatekhoj, bare act

  • Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025

    What is expected

    Notified on 14 November 2025. Most duties, such as security safeguards, breach reporting and retention, generally apply 18 months after publication. Processors follow the controller's instructions, including on deletion.

    How Verity helps

    Each project records which environments hold client data, who can access them and when they must be removed.

    Scconline

  • MSME payment terms and Section 43B(h)

    What is expected

    Amounts owed to micro and small suppliers beyond the allowed period, which cannot exceed 45 days from acceptance, are generally disallowed as a deduction until paid, from AY 2024-25. Medium enterprises are excluded.

    How Verity helps

    Vendor and freelancer bills carry acceptance date, registration status and due date.

    TaxGuru

  • GST, TDS and foreign receipts

    What is expected

    Clients may deduct tax on your fees as professional or technical, and invoices to clients outside India follow separate GST and RBI rules for receiving payment, which have been changing. Your accountant and bank decide and file.

    How Verity helps

    Each billing event records client, country, amount, date and payment state.

    ClearTax on Section 194J

Rules change and differ by situation. Confirm current requirements with your accountant or lawyer.

Who sees what

Everyone sees the same records, through their own window.

A developer should not see everyone's rates. A client contact should not see another client's project. Each role opens on what it needs.

  • Founder

    Which projects make money and which are at risk?

    Budget against scope, change requests, utilisation, receivables and client risk.

  • Delivery head

    Who is loaded, what is blocked, what is over?

    Allocation, sprints, dependencies, change requests and warranty dates.

  • Project manager

    Where is my project against its budget?

    Scope list, hours used, carry-over reasons, client dependencies and change requests.

  • Developer

    What do I work on and what do I log?

    Own tasks, the project scope, own timesheet and own allocation.

  • Finance lead

    What can I invoice and what do I owe?

    Approved hours, delivered milestones, approved changes and vendor bills.

Straight answers

What changes, and what stays the same.

Keep using

  • Your repositories and sprint boards, where developers work. We agree during setup how tasks and hours reach Verity.
  • Your chat and email with clients. Your team replies
  • Verity tracks who owes a reply.
  • Your accounts package, which still raises invoices and files returns.
  • Your cloud accounts and build tools, which Verity does not touch.

Verity does not

  • Write, review or deploy code.
  • Send invoices, reminders or messages to clients on its own.
  • Run your payroll or file your returns.
  • Draft client contracts or give legal advice on code ownership.

We bring clients, active projects, scope lists, allocations, recent hours and handover details across from your sheets and tools, in stages, so sprints keep running while it happens.

Questions

Questions software agency owners ask.

My developers hate timesheets. Will they use it?

Only if it is quick. Time is logged from the task, with the project and scope item already filled. We start with billable work and add other categories only where you need the answer.

We already use a sprint board. Why add this?

A board knows tasks. It does not know the fixed price, the change requests, the client's dependencies or the budget. We agree during setup how tasks reach Verity, or you move them.

How does it show a fixed-price overrun early?

Each project has a scope list with estimates. Hours are logged against scope items and compared with the share delivered, so the burn is visible weekly instead of at month end.

What if a client changes scope in a chat?

The account manager logs it as a change request with an estimate. It waits for a client approver before work begins, or the delivery head records it as a free gesture.

Does it write or review code?

No. It does not touch your code or repositories. It records the project, scope, people and hours around them.

Can it handle support retainers and time-and-material together?

Yes. Retainers have hours included and used, time-and-material has approved hours by person and rate, and fixed-price has scope and budget. Each is set up in your terms.

Can clients see progress?

Only if you want them to. By default your team uses Verity and clients keep replying the way they do now. A client view can be agreed during setup.

Who can see my data?

Only the people you allow. Access is set by role and project, and every change is recorded with who made it and when.

What does it cost?

It depends on the number of people, projects and what you want set up. Message us and we will give you a clear number after a short conversation about how your agency runs.
