Questions Every Business Owner Asks...
Clear answers about the Better Business App™, how it works, and how TBIC can help.
Find out what Better Business App™ could mean for your business.
Getting To Know Better Business App™
What Is The Better Business App™?
Better Business App™ is your central online business hub. It brings your people, processes, resources and business knowledge together in one place and gives everyone their own personalised workspace, with access to what they need to get the job done.
Why Do I Need It If My Business Is Already Online?
Parts of your business probably are. Your accounts may be in Xero. Your jobs may be in Simpro or Fergus. Your health and safety may be in SiteDocs. Your sales may be in a CRM.
But where is your business?
Better Business App™ brings the rest of your business online. Your people, roles, responsibilities, activities, processes, policies, forms, checklists, resources and business knowledge, brought together in one central online business hub.
Does It Replace My Existing Software?
No. Better Business App™ works alongside the specialist software your business already uses.
Keep Xero for your accounts. Keep your payroll system. Keep your CRM, job management or specialist H&S software where they work for you.
Better Business App™ brings together the parts those systems don’t. Your people, processes, resources and business knowledge, all in one central online business hub.
Built Around Your People
What Is A Personal Workspace?
Everyone gets their own Personal Workspace, giving them one familiar place to access the information, responsibilities, activities, systems and resources they need to do their job.
What Is A Tailored Dashboard?
Each person’s Tailored Dashboard brings together the things that matter to them, including notices, activities, meetings, reviews and H&S information, so they can quickly see what’s happening, what needs attention and what they need to do next.
How Does The Notice Board Keep Everyone Informed?
Use the Business Notice Board to keep everyone informed with news, updates, reminders and important information. Important notices can be highlighted and, where needed, people can be asked to acknowledge they’ve read them.
Made For Businesses Like Yours
What Sort Of Businesses Is It For?
Better Business App™ is designed for owner-operated small businesses.

What HR Resources Are Included?
Better Business App™ includes practical HR templates and resources to help with the everyday people side of running your business, so you don’t have to start everything from scratch.
How Does Better Business App™ Work With AI?

Access, Control & Keeping It Current
Can I Use It On My Phone, Tablet And Computer?
Yes. Better Business App™ is online and available on your phone, tablet or computer, whether you’re in the office, on site, on the road or working from home.
Who Can See And Change Information?
Different access levels help control what people can see, create, update or manage based on their role, so the right people have the right level of access.
How Easy Is It To Keep Everything Up To Date?
Update your business information in one central place as things change, helping your people work from current information without having different versions spread across folders, documents and locations.

How Do I Get Started?

Building A Business For Your Future.
Can Better Business App™ Help Make My Business More Saleable?
Yes. Bringing your business knowledge, responsibilities, systems, processes and resources together makes your business easier for someone else to understand, operate and eventually take over. It also reduces how much of the business depends on what only you know.
What If I Want To Step Back Rather Than Sell?
That works too. Your exit strategy doesn't have to mean selling. You might hand over the reins to a manager, family member or successor while retaining ownership. The goal is to build a business that can operate with less dependence on you.
What Happens When It’s Time To Hand Over?
When it’s time to sell or hand over the business, you can hand over more than the keys. You hand over an organised, documented and systemised online business hub that shows the next owner how the business actually operates.
People. Process. Resource. Knowledge.
All there, ready to carry on.
