As an entrepreneur, you’ll need all the help that you can get to manage your business and achieve your goals. And while your colleagues and employees can help you realize your vision, it is the tools that you use that make your workflow a lot easier.

Check out the following apps that you might find beneficial as a small business owner:

For communication: Slack

Slack’s instant messaging platform is perfect for team conversations and direct messages, as you can organize them into private and public channels.

Slack also automatically indexes and archives messages for easier retrieval of previous conversations. You may also share PDFs and photos via its drag-and-drop feature.

For document signing: DocuSign

A digital signature app like DocuSign allows you to sign documents online, which is a must these days since most transactions happen over the internet.

With DocuSign, you no longer have to spend time printing, signing, and scanning documents. You can affix your signature to pertinent documents using your laptop or mobile phone, giving you no reason to put off signing papers.

For accounting: FreshBooks

Tracking client invoices can get pretty messy, but FreshBooks has got your covered.

With FreshBooks, you can create personalized and professional-looking invoices that you can send to your clients. You can also automatically bill them for recurring invoices. It’s also easy to create business accounting reports using the app.

A FreshBooks subscription starts at $15 per month, but you can sign up for a free 30-day trial first.

For finances: Moneygment

Now that digital payments are slowly taking over cash payments, it’s important to have a payment platform that will cater to your business needs.

Moneygment is a financial app geared towards helping individuals create his or her financial footprint. It features modules that enable payments to Pag-IBIG, PhilHealth, and SSS savings, contributions, and loans, making payments easier and more convenient for Filipinos. There are also modules that encompass investments and insurance in the app.

You no longer have to line up in payment centers because the app allows you to pay your contributions anytime, anywhere.

For organization: Trello

Tracking your team’s workflow is fun and easy with Trello, which boasts of a user-friendly interface that anyone can easily master.

You can create a card on the Trello board for every task. You may also add descriptions, comments, checklists, due dates, attachments, stickers, and labels to each card. The whole team will be notified every time someone modifies a card.

The basic Trello app is free to use, but the Business Class version costing $9.99 per user per month integrates with other apps like Slack and Dropbox.

For file management: Dropbox

As a cloud storage app, Dropbox allows you to clear space on your laptop or desktop so that you don’t clog them with a lot of data.

And since you can share Dropbox files and folders with other members of your team, it’s easier for them to access relevant data and to start collaborating.

The free basic version of Dropbox allows you to save up to 5 GB worth of data, but you can upgrade it for as low as $9.99 a month if you need more space.

As your business grows, you’ll eventually need to expand and outsource your services to experienced hands. Cavalli Business Center can help you with that.
