THE SIX BEST MOBILE SMALL-BUSINESS APPS


Share


> Be more productive and get organized with these top small-business apps.

Making the most of your small business means getting organized, being more
productive and trouncing the competition.

Business savvy goes a long way, but everyone needs a little help, too. Here are
some top mobile apps that will boost your enterprise agility.


ABUKAI EXPENSES

Creating expense reports can be time-consuming and dull, but Abukai makes it a
lot easier (and even more pleasant). Simply take a photo of your receipt from
your smartphone, and the information is entered into one of the app’s
interfaces. You can also take a picture of a map or itinerary to record mileage.
All the data then populates a spreadsheet or Web-based interface.


OFFICETIME

For freelance professionals or others who bill by the hour, tracking time can
often take the form of scribbled notes or shorthand on a calendar page. Spruce
up your system with OfficeTime, an app geared toward small businesses and
freelancers. Now, you can not only track time spent on a project, but also see
cross-team reporting. That means you can determine who’s slacking and which
project is over budget.


PRIMADESK

Cloud computing makes data storage and access much easier, but only if the
information is organized in a searchable way. Primadesk offers an app that lets
users manage cloud content, look through older files, transfer new files and
even combine cloud services like Dropbox, SugarSync, Access Box and others.
Using a single interface, you can zip through your content and boost
productivity by locating data quickly.


SOS ONLINE BACKUP

Online backup is essential for any small business, and there’s an array of
options when it comes to mobile computing backup. A top example is SOS Online
Backup, which offers access from any Web browser and any device. The app works
continuously, backing up files as they change. Especially nice is the
military-grade encryption, a security level that’s sometimes lacking in
small-business apps.


EVERNOTE

Imagine all your brilliant ideas in one place. With Evernote, you can jot down
your thoughts — or speak them into your smartphone — and keep track of your
insights. The app allows you to organize and share text, photos and voice notes;
bookmark web pages; and then search through all the content quickly. When trying
to recall that huge business idea, you’ll never be scrambling through your desk
again.


TRIPIT

Three connecting flights, car rental and hotel reservation: Is your briefcase
bulging with email printouts yet? Ditch the paper with TripIt, an app that lets
you combine all your flight, hotel and rental-car confirmations into one mobile
itinerary. The app also features maps so you can navigate unfamiliar roads on
your way to important business meetings, making that travel-induced anxiety a
thing of the past.

Mobile computing helps any small business get more accomplished, faster — and
that can lead to increased growth and revenue. Tap into the power of apps for a
business power boost.

you with our article, “Small Business Mobile Devices Face-Off: Smartphone vs.
