Top 10 Time and Money Saving Apps for Kitchen and Bathroom Retailers

There never seems to be enough hours in the day if you are running your own small business. Of course using the latest market-leading kitchen design software or bathroom design software such as 2020 Fusion and 2020 Design makes the design process as streamlined as possible, but what about all the other jobs you need to do? Scheduling meetings, organising and sharing documents and files, accounting, managing your social media accounts and recruitment, not to mention keeping up with the latest industry news?

Luckily there are now thousands of websites and apps that have been designed to make your life easier and, in order to help you, we’ve selected just a few of our favourites. Some are free, and others offer a free trial before you commit to subscription fees.

APPS FOR MEETINGS

Timebridge

Timebridge
To arrange a meeting you simply choose a few times that work for you, add your attendees, choose how you want to meet and click send. That’s it. In most cases the next thing you’ll see is the meeting confirmed in your calendar.
Timebridge will automatically reach out with branded and personalized invitations, gather everyone’s time preferences, find the best time for everyone and schedule the meeting. They’ll even send reminders, provide a free conference call number for your attendees, and handle changes and problems.
You can also allow anyone (or just those you want) to view your availability and request or automatically schedule a meeting through your personal URL while keeping total control of your calendar and schedule.
Sales demos, consultations, appointments, discovery calls, conferences, office-hours, training, and anything else that you want to allow others to schedule with you. Timebridge handles all of the back-and-forth automatically for you in a personalized, branded, and protected environment.
