Whether you need a hand forecasting cashflow, managing remote staff or monitoring your warehouse inventories, you can find smart solutions to help turbo-boost your business
Data capture and expense management
Spreadsheets are the bete noire of many an SME: the endless hours spent typing decimals into a keyboard; the potential for business-ruining mistakes (according to one survey, 88% of spreadsheets contain errors); and the familiar Excel fatigue. Luckily, the Xero App Store has a host of apps that can take some of the pain away.
The ease of letting apps do your gruntwork is highlighted by Datamolino and Hubdoc, which – when connected with Xero – capture and automate accounts payable data from invoices and receipts. Meanwhile Dext Prepare cannily captures all the important info from your paper receipts, invoices and bank statements. It then analyses and organises this data for you – plus stores it safely on its cloud servers for 10 years. Finally, there’s Soldo. For any business leader worried their sales manager is trying to claim for his/her new oak-panelled shoffice (shed office) for home working, Soldo gives bosses the opportunity to instantly approve (or reject) online spending requests from their team.
