  • Software Integration (i.e. Quickbooks, Outlook, etc.)
  • Project Management
  • Time Management
  • Billing/Invoicing
  • Customizability (i.e. font size, workflows, etc.)
  • Increase access to trainings and educational enrichment opportunities
  • Customer Support (tends to be slow)
For a small office or team keeping track of multiple projects at once can be a challenge. OfficeTools provides an all-in-one affordable (less than $60 per month) and accessible (cloud based) project management solution to keep your team on task. If your organization uses products such as Quickbooks or Outlook you can easily integrate them into this software solution. I honestly cannot think of an organizational structure that would not benefit somewhat from integrating OfficeTools into their operations.
OfficeTools is by far the easiest project management tool that I've ever used. It is very user friendly and easy to pickup. That cannot be said for other products that I've used in the past.
