About Our Company
DeskAway is the flagship software service of Synage
Software Pvt. Ltd., a web software firm located in downtown Mumbai, India.
Founded in 2005 by entrepreneur Sahil Parikh, as a web design and development
firm, Synage has transformed itself into a SaaS company - delivering business
software over the Internet through a subscription model.
Why Did We Build DeskAway?
While managing multiple (sometimes over 30) projects
simultaneously, we noticed that it got cumbersome keeping track of everything
related to these projects via email. There were revisions to files and
documents, people had comments and provided feedback, there were tasks
that needed to be delegated and tracked. We just couldn't do all of
this through email and still work efficiently and smoothly. Bottom
line, we were spending far too much time finding and planning things
that were already planned just because there was no single place where
everything was stored. Some of us loved to grab a martini after
work and the others wanted to get back home feeling that the day was
well spent 'working smart'!
We did research on other project management applications out there but they were either too complicated and expensive or too 'cutsie' to be enterprise level. We decided to make DeskAway into a 'simple', 'affordable' and 'powerful' application.
Our vision is to help create a system at work - something that is dependable, predictable and offers transparency and clarity. A system that can be adopted by everyone in the team to eliminate guesswork that accompanies multiple people and projects. Questions like 'who is doing this thing', 'did the client like it' or 'oh, we thought that the updated copy of the report was already sent to the client' etc. Why do you think product companies are able to scale up so easily? They have built internal systems (including the machinery) that churn out predictable results and reports every day. Our purpose is to provide this level of predictability to anyone working on multiple projects!
