Managing a Growing Remote Team

Streamlining Project Management

Saving Time for Strategic Growth

Terran, LLC
When Michael Jackness launched Terran after selling Treadmill.com, he had one clear goal: build a market-leading e-commerce company focused on customer value. Through brands like ColorIt.com, Tactical.com, and WildBaby.com, Terran grew rapidly — but that growth came with growing pains.To manage their expanding remote team in the Philippines and scale without the burden of manual admin work, Michael and his operations manager, Mia Pamisa, turned to Hubstaff for help.

The Challenge
Solving the Scaling Challenge
As Terran’s operations scaled, manual tracking of work hours, activity, and project management became overwhelming. Michael and Mia spent countless hours updating spreadsheets, monitoring attendance manually, and ensuring team accountability — a process that drained their time and focus away from driving the business forward.They needed a reliable, efficient solution that would automate operations, provide real-time insights, and allow their team to focus on what truly mattered: building great brands and better serving their customers.

The Outcome
Building a Transparent and Scalable Remote Team
By implementing Hubstaff, Terran transformed their internal workflows by automating time tracking and attendance monitoring across their Philippines-based team, gaining real-time visibility into team productivity through optional screenshots, activity rates, and detailed reports, and simplifying project management and billing by assigning work to specific projects and accounts for accurate budgeting. They also created a structured, transparent remote work environment without the need for micromanagement. With Hubstaff in place, Mia no longer had to chase attendance or manually verify work hours, giving her and the entire management team back precious time for strategic growth.
What Our Clients Say About Us

There wasn’t a set system in place when it came to the tasks and projects we worked on. Tasks would just be given at random, and we would immediately have to work on them. We didn’t have a set schedule for what we were supposed to do in a week or month.
We have an office over in the Philippines with 12 people, and Hubstaff is a critical part of that management. It’s a great tool that can help you manage your remote teams.
