Covid-19 resources for your business Xero have created a Business Continuity Hub in Xero Central with all the latest updates that Xero have released, such as articles, webinars, FAQs, loan eligibility trackers and even support for working remotely, to help your business through the Covid-19 pandemic. They have also created two adviser-only reports – the Business Insights pack and Business Loan pack, which you can access if you contact your Client Manager. These will allow you to review and track the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) you need to be monitoring in the current climate. Core product releases Xero are constantly releasing new mobile updates so you can manage your business on the go. New features include: The ability to attach documents to bank reconciliations in Xero from your mobile Location tracking for mileage claims so that mileage is mapped directly from your journey Xero have also introduced a new credit limit functionality when setting up a customer. This will filter through to each of your invoices and flag up when a customer has exceeded their credit limit, allowing you to make the decision as to whether to sell to them or not. If you use Xero Projects, quotes accepted by your customers can now be converted into invoices directly within the project without having to go back and forth linking the two together.
