Any business that is operating in the modern world should be looking at ways to utilise technology to reduce their costs. in much the same way a satellite communications provider would use something like SATbill to help them improve their finances, so to should you be researching the best digital products that will be of assistance to you.
Whether you are looking to reduce expenditure or increase productivity, there are options out there for you. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at the role of tech in business.
Productivity
Everyone in every company is looking for a way to make the work process more productive, or at least they should be. One thing that seemingly surprises a lot of managers and owners is that their staff would rather work smarter than harder, and that is a good thing. So why wouldn’t you invest in applications that are designed to improve your workforce’s output and increase efficiency?
There are many different types of apps out there which are designed to get the most out of your teams and to assist with daily tasks or even full projects. We have listed some of them below along with their benefits:
Todoist
The first of these apps to look at is Todoist. This is something of a market leader in the productivity app world. Its software will take on board the tasks that you need to do and then categorise them based on priority. In addition, you can have team members working from a dashboard that allows you to assign jobs and interact with deadlines.
Trello
Trello is a similar application to Todoist in so far as it allows you to organise your schedule and that of your team. However, where it differs is its unique layout which is it adopts a high visual style. By creating cards – subcategories – on different projects you can manage the work and see progress in real time.
Hootsuite
Different to the above styles of productivity app, Hootsuite focuses on getting the most out of your social media campaign. While this could fall under communication, we have included Hootsuite under productivity because it offers you the opportunity to manage various social media accounts from a single dashboard. This means your marketing strategies are organised in a much more streamlined way.
Communication
In much the same way as productivity in the workplace is being revolutionised by application technology, so too is communication. By now you will have no doubt used or have been apart of a Skype business call, but that is far from being the be all and end all of communication apps. A company needs to be able to communicate effectively internally as well as externally to succeed in its goals. You will also find that you will be more productive because communication via apps on your machine will cut down on meetings. The likes of Microsoft Teams and Slack allow you to organise your teams into chat rooms so that projects can be managed across instant messenger rather than with endless group chats and lunches.
