And just like that, 2021 is almost finished! 

We have definitely conquered some crazy obstacles this year and juggled different tasks all at once. Allocating tasks to your team can be stressful, especially when you don’t have the right tools to use. 

It’s already tough to maintain daily inventory, schedules, tasks, and shifts and as workload grows and daily duties multiply, without proper task management in place, you will fail to maintain track of both your and your team’s goals.

In order to be organised, utilising the right tools can streamline, simplify and make life a whole lot easier. 

Here are our best task management recommendations. 

1. Asana, Monday.com, Trello, Zoho

Are you lost in task lists and constantly following up with your staff to see if they’ve done what you’ve asked?

These are the top-tier applications you can use to manage how you allocate tasks and track progress. With tools like Asana, Monday.com, Trello or Zoho, it’s easy to check-in, provide real-time feedback and receive consistent accountability.

2. Docusign, Eversign, RightSignature

Rather than signing your documents manually or printing out documents, only to sign them, scan them and re-upload them online, use these automated e-Signature programs to get your proposals, contracts or policies signed off quickly and easily. 

It saves time and is also good for the environment.
