Total Synergy

Total Synergy, also sold as Synergy, is a cloud platform for running architecture and engineering practices. It was built in Australia and has been sold since 1999. It ties together fee proposals and budgets, project stages, timesheets and expenses, resource allocation, invoicing, work in progress, revenue forecasting and document control, so a practice can follow project profitability from the quote through to the final bill. Pre-built dashboards cover projects, finance, people and sales. The vendor positions it for firms of about 10 to more than 100 staff. Pricing is not published. Third-party listings name Business and Enterprise plans, both quoted on request, plus paid add-ons: Analytics Plus, Premium API, PIM for document and email management, HR, and CRM. Onboarding usually takes several weeks, with a dedicated consultant handling scoping, data migration and training. Integrations include Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks Online, Sage and Wiise for accounting, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, BambooHR, BrightHR, Salesforce and HubSpot, with Zapier for other apps. The company is headquartered in North Sydney and has offices in London and Chicago. It acquired Factor A/E in 2025 and announced a combination with Monograph in August 2026. The main limitations are the lack of public pricing, a data import that reviewers describe as time-consuming, and no native mobile app according to one directory. It is also a narrow tool for A&E practices rather than a general task manager.
