As Xero Champions , Purple Lime are big advocates of Xero accounting software . It is used by over 1.5 million businesses and is well regarded across the accounting industry . As well as being cost-effective and easy to use , it integrates with over 800 apps to make running your business easier , wherever you are .
Xero has its own App Marketplace , where you can see all the apps available to work alongside Xero and refine them by task , industry or recommendations Xero makes depending on your business type and location .
The apps may be classed as add-ons ( meaning they are made by Xero ) or integrations ( made by a third party , but with the ability to link to Xero ), but from your perspective as a business owner , the apps are simply a way to find tools that you like working with , and which can all work together seamlessly .
Here are just some of the tasks Xero and apps can help with :
BILLS AND EXPENSES Many of your business expenses are incurred while you are out and about , so being able to upload and submit expenses from an
|
app on your phone must be a winner . With no need to save receipts and invoices , and by keeping an up-to-date record of all business expenses , it is quicker and easier for everyone . If you are not at your desk , you are still able to keep an eye on the finances and make sure those important bills are paid on time .
Xero integrates with over 60 apps to help you manage your bills and expenses , so if you already use an app for this , it is likely it will work with Xero . If it is something you are interested in to save time in your business , there are lots of options ( including some that are industry specific ) for you to choose from .

PAYROLL Find out who is working and when , manage leave , pay your staff , and stay on top of tax payments with a payroll and HR app . Apps can also make sure you are complying with the latest changes to employment and tax law , as well as allowing staff to record their hours , check payslips and update their own personal information . Integrating the right app with Xero software can save you time and paperwork , keeping everyone up to date wherever they are . |
INVOICING Manage projects from start to finish with an invoicing and job management app . From the initial conversation to creating a quote , organising the work , and sending an invoice , there are apps which can manage the whole process . This can be particularly handy if you have staff who work remotely or if you find yourself away from the office a lot .
Depending on the app you use , you can even match purchase orders , invoices , and payments from within the same system .
Alternatively , if you are computer-based , an app can help you track the time you spend on different clients at different rates at the touch of a button .

DATA MANAGEMENT Moving information from documents and spreadsheets to various other systems is time-consuming , increases the risk of introducing errors and is , quite frankly , boring . There are a number of apps which integrate seamlessly with Xero to pull information from your existing documentation , process it , and put it back into the systems that need it . |
A quick and easy transfer of data gives you more time to see where the money in your business is going so you can dedicate more time to seeing the results and have more confidence when planning for the future .
BE AN APPY BUSINESS OWNER WITH XERO EFFORT This is only a small snapshot of the many processes and tasks that can be completed more easily and efficiently when you use Xero along with the right apps to benefit your business .
Using apps can make Xero even more powerful and beneficial to you , and because they are already approved for integration , you do not even need significant technical knowhow to get going !
