business planningMobile apps have become a go-to resource for small-scale business solutions that improve productivity, efficiency and organization. Many businesses can trace their path to success, at least to some degree, to tech solutions they’ve deployed to improve business operations.

That’s where Beesy is hoping to carve out a niche. The iPad app can help increase a company’s business planning and productivity by taking down and organizing meeting notes, according to PhonesReview.co.uk.

Not only does the app make meeting notes easier to keep, it also provides a range of additional features that are all connected to these summarizing notes. Automated to-do lists can be generated from these notes and specific tasks and projects can be assigned through the notes themselves. This helps managers make sure a plan of action is put into place after a meeting. Priority management is also enabled, which allows managers to highlight specific goals and assign notes to various projects.

Apps like Beesy are seeing market demand soar as businesses seek new ways to improve productivity. Many of these apps offer time and resource savings in combination with the fact that they are cost-efficient. In many cases, the key to these apps lie, not in providing a single service (such as note-keeping), but in integrating that service with additional features that foster enhanced functionality.

The simple task of writing down notes is nothing revolutionary. In Beesy’s case, it’s when those notes are used to assign tasks and manage projects that the app differentiates itself from past business solutions.

Building a Business Itinerary Through a Simple Interface

Beesy allows users to manage business notes and their associated tasks through the Beesy Dashboard, which offers a quick review of the app’s main features. Users can quickly view and edit calendars, tasks and priority lists, as well as assignments and deadlines related to those tasks.

The notes editor lets users build meeting minutes according to one of 16 different templates. Once complete, those notes can be sent to anyone via one-touch delivery. Also, notes can be attached to a specific calendar day, making them easy to sort through and recall days, weeks and even months down the road.

The app proves useful in and business planning scenarios. Users and projects can be easily called up and viewed to see where individual tasks stand within a larger project scenario. Beesy also helps manage this workflow according to assignments prioritized on a five-point scale, saving management personnel the time of ensuring the most urgent tasks are the first to be addressed.

When properly used, Beesy says 40% of all users will free up at least 30 minutes each day. That’s 2.5 hours per week per employee, which can provide a significant boost to productivity.
