Sympli

A design collaboration solution forms an integral part of any product design and development workflow. And when it comes to bridging the gap between your designs and final products, Sympli does it wonderfully. It is an enterprise-ready collaboration platform for designers and UI developers who can use it for producing visual specs, generating assets, versioning, and much more. You can deploy Sympli on-premise or on a private cloud and scales as you grow so that infrastructure limitations never restrict you. It drives efficiency and productivity by connecting your team members through powerful collaboration and automation tools.

A version control tool that designers love

Sympli gives you an extensive suite of tools for Version Control that you’re designers will love and enjoy. You start directly at the Finder, where you convert a folder from your computer into a Versions Project. Add descriptions and more files, then upload and share them with your teammates. Enable sync and browse history. You can monitor where you want your files to go, whether in Sympli’s Cloud storage or Github, Gitlab, Azure DevOps, or Bitbucket. Yes, you have that many options! Plus, you can revert or restore changes anytime so that your team can contribute safely.

Embrace the power of branching with transparency

The branching feature (working copies of the project) on Sympli makes contributions to the shared platform a hassle-free affair. You can separate the work-in-progress files from the master copies. You can import changes and merge new features wherever you prefer. It occurs without overwriting any previous changes in the Versions. Sympli also makes the whole design workflow transparent. All team members working on the project will have access to information regarding the Who, When, Where, and Why. You can keep track of each individual’s contributions and progress, review all changes, validate updates, and monitor where the project is heading.

Well prepared assets with robust integrations

Designers can import their work from their IDE through the Xcode and Android Studio plugins. The Handoff option automatically turns the design mockups into assets and specs so that the developers get design references for mobile, web, and desktop applications. This way, developers can implement the prototype a lot faster than usual. Plus, they can use webhooks to build their own integrations to speed up the process further. Sympli’s centralized platform, with its multiple workflow integrations like Jira and Slack, thus, improves coordination between everyone in the loop, be it the designers, developers, product managers, or engineers.
