Choosing the best Free Software Add ons to improve your business

In a previous article, Shellys bookkeeping reviewed some of the free bookkeeping software apps that are available.
In this article we highlight some of the best free software add-ons that we use, to help run and manage a business.

  • Bookkeeping Cloud

    Cloud Storage

    Have your files available wherever you are. No more lost information when your computer crashes. Dropbox and  Google Drive both have free cloud storage and if you need more space, then simply sign up for the paid version. There are multiple other cloud storage providers. You can setup a Dropbox or Drive folder locally that synchronizes with your online storage. Need to share a large document with a colleague or client - simply share the file with them so they can download it. No more bounced emails when the file is too large.
  • Trello task manager icon

    We use Trello quite extensively to organise our work, its essentially like digital sticky notes that you can move between cards or boards. You can use Trello to create checklists or just for notes. Working as part of a team – you can add people to your lists.

    Trello can also integrate with gmail – letting you create tasks from emails easily. Trello lets you view all your tasks within a board at a glance and reorder as needed.

    Evernote Basic if free to use and is available for use on computers and mobile devices. It will keep your notes and tasks synced and available wherever you are. Evernote allows you to share and discuss notes with your collaborators or staff, or clip notes or ideas from the web for later use. Paid versions allow you to access your notes offline and save emails. Evernote can even scan and digitize business cards.

    Need to keep track of the time you spend on tasks? TimeCamp is a free add-on that can also integrate with many cloud software apps, including project /task management (e.g. Trello) or bookkeeping software (e.g. Xero). Timecamp can automatically track time spent on tasks allowing you to stay focused on the work. Improve your teams productivity with the timesheet reports. Paid versions also allow for time billing and invoicing, directly from within Timecamp.

    Timecamp is free for 1 user with some limitations on features. If you want Timecamp to integrate with other software, then you will need the paid version.
