In a fast-paced business world, those who can really take control of their operational needs will find that it gives them an edge over their competition. A lot of big time problems in business often originate as seemingly small operational errors throughout the workforce. The good news is that these types of errors can be prevented by utilizing the right organizational tools.

The humble checklist is a tool that’s been around for a long, long time. We use it all the time in our everyday lives- from tasks as simple as grocery shopping to those as complex as filing our taxes. To Todo team knew that this tool could be so much more and with our handy cell phones constantly at our sides, we now have the means to really utilize it for work in a meaningful way.

Enter Todo, the smart checklist that allows you to plan, organize, and collaborate from your cell phone with ease. We’ve loaded this app with helpful features that are sure to make it an irreplaceable part of the way you run your day. Here are just a few of the things that Todo can do for you.

1. Manage Ongoing Operational Needs

There are many recurring tasks that business leaders and employees need to complete on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Despite the constant repetition, it can be so easy to let something slip through the cracks unchecked- a small mistake with potentially devastating results.

One particularly alarming example of this is surgeons. Surgeons are responsible for a great deal of working knowledge and despite being aggressively trained and incredibly intelligent, they can sometimes have a hard time keeping track of it all. Small procedural mistakes can and have led to incredibly dangerous situations for doctors and their patients. To combat this, they keep checklists of all of the procedural items they have to remember. This drastically reduces the number of mistakes they make.

While your company may or may not suffer comparably hazardous consequences, it’s certainly true that any corporation would run smoother if everyone was able to more consistently complete all of their procedural tasks. Todo is the smart checklist that follows you around on your cell phone and makes it easier than ever to take control of your schedule.

With the Todo app, you can set recurring tasks complete with appropriate reminders and notifications so that you stay on top of all the little things you have to do throughout the day. This better ensures that no important tasks get left by the wayside.

2. Ensure Quality and Precision

Breaking large goals into smaller, more manageable tasks is a staple piece of advice for self-help and productivity books. And there’s good reason for this- it allows individuals to turn sometimes overwhelming projects into more easily tracked, less daunting pieces. It’s also a great way to make sure things are not overlooked, and that each task is done with focus and precision.

Todo is designed to help you get the best results from all of the work you do, whether personal or professional. With intuitive smart lists that allow you to sort tasks, add comments and set reminders, you’ll be able to keep track of everything you need to do. When your job requires consistency, set recurring tasks that will remind you of what you need to do to maintain the quality of your work. When your job keeps you on your toes with a variety of tasks, use Todo to keep your chaotic schedule neatly organized, so that you never miss a deadline.

3. Manage External Contractors

In today’s business world, a lot of companies hire contractors to complete work. More likely than not the contractors are not trained by your company, and because they are often working remotely, it can be difficult to coordinate with them and make sure they are producing work to expectation. Todo can help you work with your contractors and stay up to date on how their work is coming.

Use Todo’s advanced task list features to share important tasks with your contractors, and make it easier for them to stay up-to-date with production schedules and project changes. Break down large projects into task lists so that you and your contractors can better track the progress of any given project. Include in-task notes to easily let your contractors know your expectations for each stage of the project, and so that your contractors can reference these notes later on. Your contractors can use Todo’s comment feature to get (and document) answers to their questions and let you know about potential roadblocks.

Todo’s unique collaborative features make it indispensable for coordinating with contractors that you hire. Consistently touching base through this easy-to-use app will reduce the number of miscommunications and ensure that you are getting the most out of your working relationships with these people.
