POPIA compliant

Document management, secure, organised, accessible.

Employee documents live in emails, USB drives and personal folders — and when you need a contract, it is gone. Synthro stores everything centrally with preview, search and a 30-day recycle bin, so deleted files can be recovered before they are gone forever.

The problem

Lost documents cost you CCMA cases. Organised storage saves them.

Documents live in emails and USB drives

You need John's contract. It is not in your email, and the old USB is a maybe. The CCMA asks for proof and you have nothing. Synthro stores everything in one place — drag the contract in and it is saved forever, organised by employee.

You download every file just to read it

An employee sends ten payslips. You download all ten, open each one, check the dates, delete them — five minutes gone. Synthro previews PDFs and Word docs in the browser: click, read, close. No downloads, no clutter.

You cannot remember why you saved a file

You find "Warning_Letter_Final_v3.pdf" from 2022. What was it for? Who sent it? Synthro lets you add comments to documents — "warning for late arrivals, resolved after two months" — so future-you knows what past-you was thinking.

You deleted the wrong file by accident

You delete "Old Contract.pdf" thinking it is a duplicate. It was the only signed copy. Gone. Synthro's 30-day recycle bin keeps deleted files for a month — realise your mistake and restore it in one click.

Employee data scattered across Drive and Dropbox

ID copies in Dropbox, contracts in Drive, payslips in email. Your POPIA officer asks "is this encrypted? Where is the audit trail?" and you have no answer. Synthro stores everything encrypted in South African data centres, with a record of who viewed what.

No system for organising files

You have 500 PDFs in one folder called "HR Documents". Need a warning letter from 2021? Good luck. Synthro organises documents by type, employee and date — find any file in three seconds, not thirty minutes.
