5 Apps To Improve Your Small Business Productivity

December 03, 2016  /  Alitca Garcia

Apps are helping people all around the world to better plan and help business owner's be more productive. So we decided to go on a internet hunt and ask around to see what are the best recommended apps for you. 

  • ASANA is one of my favorites as it is great for building projects, scheduling meetings and setting goals. Not only does it create tasks for yourself but you can also assign one to a team member. You can have project conversations and attach files to any of the project's created. It's an amazingly simple and effective app that can be used by anyone.
  • 1PASSWORD stores all of your passwords. Do try to remember every single one of your passwords because it can be exhausting. This app will store just about anything, credit card information, addresses, notes and will automatically store all of your passwords so that you can log in to any of the websites without having to remember. I've had this app for about 5 years now, and it is indispensable! 
  • TOGGL is a timer that tracks every second of your time, making it ideal for anyone who needs to log billable hours. You can track as many projects or clients as you want, view colorful graphs, export time sheets, and sync your numbers with several project management apps.
  • PAYPAL HERE operates a lot like Square — you use a small card reader with your device to receive payments. Each swipe costs 2.7%, which is a bit lower than Square. However, PayPal Here has a few added features, including the ability to process checks, electronic invoices, and payments from a customer’s existing PayPal account.
  • QUICKBOOKS SELF-EMPLOYED has a lot going for it, including a familiar, easy-to-navigate interface and integration with many other services. You can send invoices on the go, view balances, approve estimates, and link to many other services including PayPal. You can also digitally store receipts, automatically track your mileage and best of all it will do the math for you so you know how much tax you owe at the end of each quarter to avoid year-end surprises.
