Swapped the hero gradient for the lighter pass — ready for review.
Sample workspace · fictional data
The problem
External work scatters the moment it leaves your building.
A client approves something in email. The designer never sees it. The invoice goes out from a spreadsheet last updated in April.
Synz is built on a simple premise: a project should have one home. Files, feedback, approvals, conversations and invoices — scoped to the work, visible to the right people.
Synz connects them — one workspace, scoped per project.
What Synz connects
Eight parts of external work. One system of record.
Everything here is scoped to a project and governed by your access rules — not scattered across tools you don't control.
Projects
One space per engagement
Files
Preview + version history
Teams
Invite-only, scoped per project
Approvals
Recorded, attributed
Messages
Threads live in the project
Meetings
Tied to the project record
Invoices
Billed against approved work
Access
Role-based, client-controlled
Every project gets one dedicated space.
Create a project, attach the client, and add the external teams doing the work. Files, tasks, messages, approvals and meetings all live in that space — so the state of a project is never a guess.
- For
- Companies managing freelancers, agencies and vendors on active work.
- Solves
- Project context is split across email, chat and shared drives, so nobody has the full picture.
- One workspace per project, scoped to its members
- Task checklists with assignees and due dates
- Milestones and timeline visible to client and teams
- Client and external teams see the same source of truth

Feedback stays attached to the file it belongs to.
Upload PDFs, images, documents and video, and preview them directly in the browser. Comments anchor to the exact page or frame. Every version is kept, so 'final_final_v7' stops being a filing system.
- For
- Teams exchanging creative work, documents and deliverables with clients.
- Solves
- Feedback arrives over email and chat, detached from the file and the version it refers to.
- In-browser preview for PDF, images, documents and video
- Comments anchored to specific pages and versions
- Full version history per file
- Clients review without downloading anything

Page 3 — can we try the headline in the lighter weight? The bold feels heavy next to the wordmark.

Good call — tried both weights, v4 compares them side by side. Uploading now.

Files, Review & Comment — as rendered in the workspace
Submit, review, revise, approve — with a record.
Work moves through a defined cycle instead of a vague 'looks good?' thread. Every decision is timestamped and attributed, and pending approvals surface reminders instead of slipping.
- For
- Anyone who needs formal client sign-off before work ships or gets invoiced.
- Solves
- Approvals happen informally and can't be proven later — or they stall silently for weeks.
- Submit → Review → Revise → Approve cycle per deliverable
- Every decision timestamped and attributed
- Reminders for pending approvals
- Approval history kept with the project record

Every decision is timestamped and attributed — the audit trail exports with the project.
Structured Approvals — as rendered in the workspace
Invoice from the same place the work happened.
Raise invoices tied to the project they bill for, and capture e-signatures on approved scope. Clients view, sign and handle payment from their side of the workspace. Payment collection (Razorpay) integrates in a later phase.
- For
- Companies billing external teams — and being billed by them — per project.
- Solves
- Invoices live in a separate tool with no link to the approved work they cover.
- Invoices tied to the project and its approved deliverables
- E-signature capture on scope acceptance
- Invoice status visible to both sides of the workspace
- Payment integration architecture ready for Razorpay

Invoicing & E-Signatures — as rendered in the workspace
Conversations that can't lose their context.
Threads are scoped to the project, not a catch-all channel. Attach files directly in the conversation, and search across a project's entire history — because the discussion lives next to the work.
- For
- Clients and external teams who currently coordinate in WhatsApp or Slack.
- Solves
- Half the decisions about a project happen in chats nobody else can find afterwards.
- Threads scoped per project, not per channel
- Attach files directly into the conversation
- Search by project, person or keyword
- Client and team members in the same conversation

Reviewed — the lighter weight works. One note on the tagline spacing, added in the file.
Elena Marsh Northstar Media · Owner · 11:20
Once the tagline tweak lands, let's move this to approval so the dev team can start.
Per-Project Messaging — as rendered in the workspace
Meetings that stay attached to the project.
Schedule reviews and syncs from inside the project, pick a time, and generate the meeting link. Agendas and notes stay on the project record. A Calendly integration plugs into this UI in a later phase.
- For
- Teams running recurring client reviews, kickoffs and handover calls.
- Solves
- Meeting links, notes and follow-ups drift away from the project they were about.
- Schedule meetings from inside a project
- Meeting link generated on confirmation
- Upcoming schedule visible to both sides
- Notes and follow-ups saved to the project

Meeting Scheduling — as rendered in the workspace
The right people see the right projects — nothing more.
Workspace members you invite see only the projects and storage you assign them. Role-based permissions, private project spaces and full activity visibility keep external collaboration controlled.
- For
- Companies that can't give external parties the keys to everything.
- Solves
- Sharing folders and group chats grants far more access than the work actually requires.
- Role-based access: owner, admin, member
- Private project spaces with invite-only access
- Client-controlled storage allocation per team
- Activity visibility across uploads, approvals and invites

Security & Access Control — as rendered in the workspace
The client experience
From landing page to working workspace in one sitting.
Synz is a product you can buy, not a waitlist. A company finds Synz, picks a plan, pays, and starts managing external work the same day.
Your account covers
- Business name
- Company name
- Profile & username
- Billing details
- Optional GST / tax info
- Monthly or annual billing
View the product and pricing
Explore what Synz does and compare plans — no account or sales call required.
Choose a plan — monthly or annual
Pick Starter, Growth or Enterprise. Synz is a paid product from day one; there's no free tier to outgrow.
Create your account
Set your username and password. This becomes your Client Login for the workspace.
Complete payment
Pay securely at checkout. Monthly and annual billing are both supported. (Payment provider wiring ships in a later phase.)
Set up your business profile
Add your business name, company name and billing details. Tax information (GST/VAT) is optional.
Open your Client Workspace
Create your first project, invite external teams and allocate storage — you're working.
The Client Workspace
The control room for your company's external work.
The paying customer runs everything from one place: create projects, form teams of vendors, freelancers and agencies, give each team exactly the storage it needs, and keep files, approvals, conversations, meetings and invoices inside the work.
- Create projects
- Add vendors, freelancers & agencies
- Allocate team storage
- Upload & manage files
- Manage approvals
- Message every team
- Schedule meetings
- Manage invoices
- Track project activity
Storage allocation — the pool belongs to the client.
Video Team
80 GB
Design Team
40 GB
Development
30 GB
Marketing
20 GB
Remaining
30 GB
The client workspace owns the pool — allocations can be resized per team or project at any time.
Workspace Login
External teams are invited — never self-served.
There is no public workspace signup. The client company creates or invites every workspace user and issues their credentials. Each person logs in and sees only the projects they've been assigned to — everything else in the workspace stays invisible.

Meetings
Schedule the review without leaving the project.
Pick a time, generate the meeting link, and keep the agenda and notes on the project record. Upcoming meetings are visible from both the Client Workspace and the team's Workspace Login.
This is the scheduling interface. A Calendly integration (and native video links) will plug into this surface in a later phase — the data model already treats meetings as project objects.

Security & access
Control who sees what — that's the whole job.
External collaboration only works if access is deliberate. Synz is built around scoping: people see exactly the projects they're assigned to.
Role-based access
Owner, admin and member roles decide who can create, approve and manage.
Private project spaces
Projects are invite-only by default. External users never browse the workspace.
Controlled access
The client grants — and revokes — access per project and per team.
Activity visibility
Uploads, comments, approvals and invites are visible in one activity view.
Audit-ready workflows
Approvals and decisions are timestamped and attributed for later review.
These are product concepts. Synz does not claim certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or GDPR until independently verified.
Bring your projects, people and work together.
One workspace for the work that happens outside your company — projects, external teams, files, approvals, meetings and invoices.
