# DeskPanda

> All-in-one work management platform for growing teams — tasks, HR, payroll, invoicing, CRM, and team chat in one workspace.

DeskPanda is a SaaS work management platform developed by Urban Web Host Pvt. Ltd. It is designed to replace the fragmented combination of messaging apps, spreadsheets, HR tools, invoicing software, and project trackers that most small and mid-sized businesses rely on. The platform is available at https://deskpanda.io and the application at https://app.deskpanda.io.

1. **Task & Project Management** — Kanban boards, task assignment, urgency levels, reviewer/approval workflows, deadlines, filters, and personal notes.
2. **HR & Attendance** — Employee attendance tracking with clock in/out, leave requests and approvals, HR policy management, hire/exit management, and employee document storage.
3. **Payroll Processing** — Automated salary calculations, tax and deduction management, payslip generation, multi-level payroll approval, and attendance-integrated payroll.
4. **Invoicing & CRM** — Tax-compliant invoice generation with 8 branded templates, quote-to-invoice conversion, client database, product catalog, payment tracking, and sales pipeline management.
5. **Team Chat** — End-to-end encrypted group messaging, voice messages, file sharing up to 2 GB, @mentions, emoji reactions, announcement broadcasts, and internal email.
