Managing Agencies and Contractors Seamlessly with Herdr

Most bootstrapped startups don’t just work with full-time employees. They rely on a mix of agencies, freelancers, consultants, and contractors to get things done.

But traditional project management tools make external collaboration messy, confusing, or overly complicated.

That’s why Herdr was built as a simple and easy project management tool that handles internal and external teams smoothly.

The Challenges of Managing Agencies and Contractors

When working with external partners, startups often face:

• Communication gaps: Details get lost across email chains and Slack threads.
• Access confusion: Contractors either get too much access (risk) or too little (bottlenecks).
• Workflow drift: Agencies work in their own systems, making alignment harder.

Inconsistent collaboration slows execution and leads to frustration on both sides.

How Herdr Simplifies External Collaboration

With Herdr, you can:

• Add contractors and agency partners easily without overcomplicating permissions.
• Assign roadmap items and tasks just like you would to internal teammates.
• Keep communication inside the platform, using direct messages and project channels.
• Maintain control over who sees what, without overwhelming administrative setup.

Because Herdr is simple by design, agencies and freelancers can onboard fast and actually use the system – no training manuals required.

Build One Unified Team (Even If It’s Temporary)

Herdr makes it easy to:

• Collaborate with freelancers on product launches.
