There is an app for virtually everything these days. But have you considered the real benefits of adopting and using apps for your business? Take a look at some of the most highly rated, business-oriented apps available today. Best of all; most of these apps will work on just about any smartphone, so you can have your employees adopt them as well.

Wunderlist

As far as to-do lists go, you don’t get much better than Wunderlist. This is the perfect app to be on every employee’s phone, and can almost be considered a necessity. Very simply put; Wunderlist is the to-do list that let’s your employees be on the same page, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Notes can be added, items can be updated, and task leaders can even be assigned. The list also automatically synchronises and updates, meaning that there is no need for everyone to keep taking out their phone and making changes.

RescueTime

Yes, smartphones are incredible in many regards. You can do just about anything on them, from play slots for real money in Canada to send emails and track your fitness, so they will easily allow you to achieve more than you have ever before. But they can also be very distracting. Although it might be a bit forceful to have every employee install it on their phone, you might just want to have it on your own. RescueTime simply tracks where you spend your time, and informs you. So, if you’re prone to getting distracted, the device will track this, and give you a report. It is a great way to ensure that you’re spending your time wisely, and not drifting off when you should be working.

Basecamp

Basecamp has earned a reputation for being one of the handiest apps for virtually every business. It quickly and easily lets groups of employees get together, collaborate, and share information with one another. It is far more than just a to-do list, or checklist, it is the easy way to let those who are working as a team share files, information, and other essential data, without anyone ever having to be in the same room, or even the same country. Get it now and see productivity start to soar into the stratosphere.

QuickBooks Online

Last we have an app that you probably already know, or have at least heard of. QuickBooks Online is by far the most used accounting software today, and for very good reason. But what you may not know is that QuickBooks has come a long way in a few short years, being easier to integrate with other services than ever before. Link your account to PayPal and make payments quickly and easily, without the need to keep switching between programs. It even has on the go functionality now, which means that simpler tasks can be completed from a smartphone, while you’re out and about. You’ll still need to know what you’re doing, of course, so don’t expect to pick it up and start using it immediately if you’re not familiar with accounting.
