Celebrating 10 years app-versaries with: MinuteDock, simPRO, Unleashed, and Communigator

posted in Uncategorized

Xero has more than 1,000 connected apps that help small businesses and their advisors succeed. Many of our app partners have been connected with Xero for more than 10 years, and we’re celebrating a handful of those apps every quarter. Read more about our latest four app-versaries below.

In case you missed it, we’re rapt that 10 years on, we’ve passed a milestone in the growth of our platform with over 1,000 connected apps in our ecosystem. You can check out many of these apps in our new Xero App Store. And to celebrate, we’re featuring a collection of apps each quarter from our app partners celebrating their 10 year app-versaries with us.

After opening our APIs in 2009 to a handful of developers, we certified our very first app two years later. In those early days, we knew we couldn’t build every niche feature a small business needed to succeed ourselves, so we encouraged other innovators to build them and integrate with Xero, so our subscribers could reap the benefits.

We’ve been on quite the journey over the past decade, as our community and the innovation on our platform has grown from strength to strength.

And with many of our 1,000 app partners being small businesses (or once small businesses) themselves, it’s been amazing to see the power of this community, innovating to help other businesses succeed.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, here are four apps that have been transforming the way small businesses work together with Xero for over a decade:

MinuteDock

With MinuteDoc, it only takes seconds to connect to Xero to make your invoicing seamless and save hours of admin time with easy time tracking. Thousands of professional services worldwide use MinuteDoc to track time for billing, budgeting and reporting.

We love working together with our app partners as we forge on with our mission to make life better for people in small businesses. Thanks to everyone who has helped us reach 1,000 apps over the past 10 years. Here’s to the next 1,000 apps, and many, many decades to come!
