Finding digital tools to boost your business efficiency is easier than ever. In this edition, we highlight two apps that excel at managing bookings and payroll, helping you save time and stay organised.

TIMELY
Who’s it for?

Any business needing a handy appointment management system. It’s especially popular with hair, beauty, and hospitality businesses.

What makes it great?
Timely makes it easy to handle appointments, client chats, and deposits. With a customisable calendar, reporting tools, and marketing features, it gives you a clear picture of your business. Plus, it automates admin tasks and syncs invoices directly with Xero, so you can focus on what you do best.

iPAYROLL
Who’s it for?

Businesses of all sizes looking for a simple way to manage payroll and employee records, with a focus on keeping everything hassle-free.

What makes it great?
iPayroll makes handling pay, leave, and employee records straightforward. It’s cloud-based, so you can easily manage payroll, PAYE, and KiwiSaver. Employees can check their payslips, update details, track leave balances and submit timesheets. It’s great for staying compliant and integrates smoothly with Xero.
