Need a productivity boost? Try these business apps
Business Technology | March 6, 2014
Apps are downright fun. You can use them to play games such as Angry Birds, read the latest Hollywood gossip or find out which Mexican restaurant in your town is ranked the best by local diners. But what about for your business? The great thing is that there are loads of apps that can help you grow your small business in 2014. And the Orlando Business Journal just recently ran a story highlighting several of the best.
A mobile cash register
Does your business run several kiosks? Maybe you operate food trucks across your market? Any business that operates mobile locations will benefit from the Square Register app. This app lets you accept debit-card and credit-card payments from customers just by swiping their cards through a small square device that attaches to your smartphone or tablet. It’s required, as the Orlando Business Journal writes, for companies that conduct much of their business on the go.
The end of business card clutter
Business cards can make your desk drawers and inboxes a cluttered mess. But with the CamCard app you can scan these cards and automatically deposit the information they contain in your smartphone’s contacts list. This is a terrific way to become quickly more efficient.
Keeping your employees on track
You need all of your employees to know what your small business must accomplish in any given day. Luckily for us, the Asana Mobile app will help you do this. This app offers you the ability to create a daily schedule for your business that your employees can also access. Once employees view the schedule, they can determine which tasks have been assigned and which of them need tackling.
