In today’s non- stop business world, it’s important to be able to conduct business from anywhere at anytime. As mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have gained popularity, the ability to send invoices, create schedules and accept credit card payments is easier than ever. However, in order to do any of these activities you’ve got to have the best apps, and after reviewing numerous ones on the market business owners consider these as some of the best.
Freshbooks
If you’re into cloud accounting, check out the Freshbooks app. Created to make accounting easy for non- accountants, you can now send invoices, track expenses and track your time no matter where you are or what you’re doing. With the Freshbooks timer running in the background, a business owner can keep track of how their time is being spent. If you’re having dinner with a client, you can use your phone to take a picture of the receipt and have a record of your expenses. If it’s an invoice that needs to be sent, you can send the invoice from the client’s office and have your money by the time you get home.
Freshshifts
One of the biggest hassles of any small business owner is making out the work schedule for employees. However, with Freshshifts employees no longer have to come in or call on a day off to get their schedule, nor do you have to figure out who needs a day off or who’s on vacation. By simply plugging in the appropriate information, Freshshifts can create a work schedule in minutes that can then be sent to employees by email, app or the web. This app makes it easy to add or delete employees from the schedule as needed, as well as create a schedule from scratch or by using a template. It’s a perfect hybrid of time clock, schedule maker and communication tool. Worth checking out.
Square
If you have a business where point- of- sale transactions are common, using Square can make it that much easier. A great app for those with home repair businesses or those who sell at festivals or have other mobile businesses, Square makes everything easier. Made to help generate customer feedback, allow for next- day deposits and even conduct online ordering, it’s a great example of making numerous tasks easier.
So if you’re in the market for some apps that will make many day- to- day tasks of running a business easier than ever before, consider adding these three apps to your mobile devices.
