Keep every job organized by client, phase, and drawing set

Set up projects the way engineers and architects already talk about them, with job numbers, phases, sets, and sheets. Each document carries its own tasks, files, reviews, and history, and each project shows its budget and invoices next to the work.

Find out where a job stands without digging through folders and email

When a project's files sit on a shared drive, its status lives in a spreadsheet, and its decisions are buried in email, answering a simple question means checking all three. In Paradesk, the project page shows the documents, the open work, and the billing together.

Each document has its own tasks, reviews, and history

Assign tasks with a priority, status, and due date, and discuss them in comments. Any markup in a review of the document can become a task too. When you upload a revision, the earlier versions stay available.

Track every drawing and report on one board, by stage

Each card on the board is a document, such as a drawing, report, or calculation package, with its tasks, files, reviews, and history attached. Open a card to see them, and drag it to the next stage when it's ready.

Name the stages the way your office works, such as drafting, QA/QC, client review, agency review, and issued. Owners, admins, and project managers set up the stages and move documents between them. Filter the board by project, assignee, or review status, or open a project's Documents page to see its board by phase.

See where every document stands across the firm

The company dashboard counts documents by review status, from in development to accepted, and shows each person's open reviews, tasks, and overdue items.

Email addresses and one inbox

Each project, client, and contact can have its own email address. Imported messages appear in one inbox for the firm and on the project's Communication tab, and the assistant can suggest tasks, comments, or documents from them. Nothing changes until someone on your team applies a suggestion.

Clients and contacts

A contact can belong to several clients, with a role, title, and as many email addresses and phone numbers as needed. Each client page shows its projects, contracts, invoices, and balances.

Common questions

Yes. Paradesk is a web app that works on phones and tablets, and you can add it to your home screen.
