New this month, Direct Amp, the creators of Direct Cart which brings one page checkout to Shopify stores has released a Task management & collaboration app designed for your team.

Shopify is know for providing an excellent shopping experience for its customers. Out of the box, Shopify presents merchants with all the tools to successfully sell their products. Behind the scenes, Shopify provide store owners with tools to review customer orders, manage inventory, print shipping labels and more.

Outside of the general functionality, the Shopify app store presents a whole additional ecosystem to shop owners. Shopify also comes with a few well polished Themes so store owners can have a fully functioning storefront with a few clicks.

To get things running smoothly, stores normally hire staff to handle things like tracking customers' request to refund a purchase or change a delivery address. Sometimes developers will be contracted to add an extra touch of personal branding to stores or to build landing pages, etc. And while apps provide many great features, often a certain amount of interaction between store owners and the app support teams is necessary for an optimized installation.

This is why Task management & collaboration software is essential. It allow store owners to organize what projects must be done or what features has to be configured. They need to assign tasks to staff, developers and app support personnel.

While third-party applications such as Microsoft Teams, Jira and Monday can provide a set of tools to handle this aspect of a business. It requires learning complicated software, creating separate user accounts and getting staff, developers and app support to venture outside of the merchant's store to access the software. This can be a major burden. What normally happens instead is store owners turn to chat clients like Skype, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. to communicate with everyone involved. This is not a very good idea, because chat applications do not properly organize tasks. Important requests and responses can easily be lost in the chat thread. It would be difficult to follow the status of a particular task.

The ADVANCE Task and Collaboration app by Direct Amp solves this by providing these necessary tools to manage tasks, including an intuitive chat application directly within Shopify itself. Additional users accounts is also not necessary. It presents a simple, user friendly interface that everyone can quickly collaborate within to get things done.
