Synergy Matters is a Windows client and matter-management product designed for law firms. It combines document management, email, scanning, faxing, disbursement recovery, time tracking, billing, payments, and trust accounting. Document tools include reviews, revision history, Word comparison, PDF conversion and merging, and page numbering. PDFs are automatically OCR-processed into a searchable archive. The system records print jobs and work events and supports posting chargeable time and disbursements for export to accounting software. Microsoft Word and Outlook plugins are available, along with integrations for QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online. Cloud Edition can push approved bills, transactions, trust transactions, and client details to QuickBooks Online. Standard deployment uses a desktop client, MySQL, and a shared file server; Cloud Edition stores data in Microsoft data centers and needs no local server. The vendor offers a 15-minute demo and phone and email support. Pricing is available on request in Canadian dollars.
