While HubSpot isn’t a task management tool per-se, its CRM platform has project and task management capabilities, which are also available in the free plan.

If you’re a marketer or a salesperson and you’re looking for an integrated tool, then you might consider HubSpot CRM because of the free marketing, sales, service and, of course, task management tools that are natively integrated.

Here’s how it works. Once you want to set a task for a contact, simply choose the company, contact or deal in the HubSpot CRM. Click “Create task” and add your details and notes; set a due date; set an email reminder, task type, and task owner (all optional); and then click “Save Task.”

When you want to plan your day, you can view your Tasks lists (or your team’s tasks), prioritise them and start tackling them one at a time. Because HubSpot is a CRM platform at its core, you have all the information you need in one place.

HubSpot’s task management software displays all contact details in the same place, so you can easily review them as you’re working on your tasks. If you connect your email to HubSpot, you can see a live feed of when your contacts are opening up emails, viewing web pages, or viewing sales collateral.

HubSpot’s integration with Gmail and Outlook allows you to create tasks directly from your inbox. Get to inbox zero and prioritize tasks within HubSpot so that you can follow up later.

With HubSpot, you can assign or reassign tasks to your teammates for collaboration. Instead of everyone working off of their own to-do lists, teams can work together, with everyone’s tasks stored within the CRM.

is a time tracking app that has several productivity features that enable teams to focus on getting work done instead of tracking it.

Its intuitive app streamlines the entire process of tracking work and removes the need for guesswork. Because let’s be honest: nobody appreciates being asked by their manager what they worked on every day.

1. Activity monitoring

Hubstaff provides team leaders and project managers with productivity statistics based on their team’s tracked time.

While productivity isn’t a quantifiable measure, Hubstaff has multiple features that are designed to help you understand how your team performs:

You can use these time tracking data to identify both strengths and weaknesses in the way your team works.

Is an employee able to meet 40 hours a week but is barely beating deadlines? Maybe they need help with prioritizing their tasks. Are there employees that are consistently working overtime but your projects are still moving slow? Hiring an additional team member might be necessary.

2. Online timesheets

Inaccurate timesheets — paper- or spreadsheet-based ones — cost businesses of money.

The issue with these types of timesheets is that they’re easy to manipulate and prone to inaccuracies.

Yes, they can, but investigating such discrepancies will consume additional time.

Hubstaff’s timesheets have everything you need in one location. You’ll be able to see all the time that your team has tracked and if they manually added hours to their timesheets. Managers can easily approve or reject them from there.

3. UDN Task Manager integration

UDN Task Manager ’s Hubstaff integration lets you track time directly to your UDN Task Manager tasks with Hubstaff.

UDN Task Manager tasks will automatically appear in the Hubstaff time tracker, and you’ll be able to see the time you track to each of them. Being productive has never been easier — setting the integration up takes less than five minutes!
