The work life of an entrepreneur is incredibly busy with new tasks, projects and ideas arriving on their desk every day. To help make life a little bit more organised, here are five apps and websites that we have found to really help in the office. Not only will these different apps help to reduce stress in your business, but also our very own tools which can be found in the Document Shop.
Trello
Trello is an incredibly useful website where you can allocate tasks to specific projects, delegate jobs and monitor progress. Within the program tasks can be prioritised, given a deadline, and documents can even be uploaded to ensure smooth communication within your team. The basic package is completely free, or there are two paid levels depending on how you would like to utilise the app.
Wunderlist 
On Wunderlist you can create multiple lists, where you can then place your tasks and sub-tasks. Tasks can also be delegated and given a deadline. Where Trello is good for working on projects, Wunderlist is good as a place for recording and sharing to-do lists, reminders and notes amongst your team. Wunderlist is free and can be downloaded onto any Apple or Android product and also onto a laptop as an application.
Insightly
Insightly is a cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) and project management program for small and medium businesses. The program allows your business to manage projects, track contacts, communications, sales, projects, tasks and documents in a single platform. Insightly integrates with many other business applications such as Outlook, MailChimp, Dropbox, Xero, Google Analytics and more.
Xero
Xero is an online accounting software that really helps to cut down the time it takes to do the accounting required for a small to medium business. You can easily keep track of suppliers and customers, expense claims, invoicing, payrolls, purchase orders and electronic billing. Along with the ability to monitor your business accounts, Xero also offers a financial reporting service, working with multiple currencies and free unlimited email support 24/7. Xero is available for a monthly fee and is accessible through the website or your mobile phone.
Hootsuite
Hootsuite is a social media management app that can help you to monitor your different social media feeds all on one dashboard. The dashboard allows you to see when you have been mentioned, comments on your posts and a range of other features that you can choose to view. It also has a social media calendar function where you can draft posts and schedule for them to be posted when you like and to which social media.
