Apps to get started
As a small business owner, your time is your most valuable asset. While Xero streamlines your core accounting, you can also connect it with specialised apps and software to automate the manual tasks that eat into your day.
What are Xero-connected apps?
Think of apps as extra features that plug directly into Xero. When you connect an app, data flows effortlessly between the two systems. This means no more double-handling data or toggling between different spreadsheets. Whether you need to track project hours, manage inventory, or get paid faster, there is an app built to help.
Why use business automation apps?
Connecting the right apps to Xero can help you:
- Save time on admin: Automate repetitive tasks like data entry and reconciliation
- Reduce manual errors: Ensure your records are accurate by letting data flow electronically
- Gain better insights: Access real-time reporting to see exactly how your business is performing
