The Chamber of Commerce released a list of automation tools that small-business owners can start taking advantage of so they can focus their time on more rewarding aspects such as customer building and relationships. Some of the tools included are Xero and Zoho Books for billing/cashflow maintenance. Monday.com and Smartsheet are suggested for operations and project management. Both help business owners with scheduling, workflows, task reminders, etc. With the evolving employment of CRM systems, Hubspot and Zoho CRM are among those listed, each for their customized messaging, email automation and customer database maintenance.
