Central Desktop

Business Platform for Teams & Marketers

Visit Central Desktop

Central Desktop is a business collaboration platform that provides secure workspaces for organizing files, managing projects, and coordinating work across teams, departments, and clients. It addresses the problem of scattered communications and assets by centralizing project planning, file sharing, discussions, and approvals in one environment that can be extended to external members.

Key capabilities include secure workspaces, project management with task assignments and Gantt charts, document management with version control, custom workflows, dynamic databases with web forms, and review and approve tools for graphic design and video proofing. It offers reporting features such as project status and productivity reports, along with a REST-based API and integrations with Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive. Single sign-on, user management, and bulk user management are available on higher tiers.

Central Desktop is aimed at marketing teams, creative agencies, vendors, and client-facing organizations. It is packaged as an annual per-user subscription with three editions: Teams, Marketers, and Enterprise, with a five-user minimum on Teams and Marketers and a 25-user minimum on Enterprise. A 15-day free trial is available without a credit card, and discounts are offered for non-profit and academic organizations.
