Business apps<\/em> \u2013 mobile apps that businesses are using to change the way they operate!
\nWe are now past the point of no return. Now more than ever, businesses are leveraging the power of mobile apps to make their business processes more efficient, convenient, and profitable.\u00a0\u00a0Following are just a few of the app categories that have become the most popular.\u00a0 Using these types of mobile apps, businesses large and small are augmenting their capabilities, exploring new possibilities, and changing everything about the way business is done.
\nMobile office apps<\/strong>
\nBack when everyone had a \u201cdumb\u201d cell phone, viewing a document, spreadsheet, or image onscreen was a total fantasy.\u00a0 As phones progressed, users demanded this ability, and as soon as their wish was granted, they began asking for the power to edit files as well.
\nThe future is definitely here!
\nWhether on Android, iOS, or other devices, a business user can now check an email, download an attachment, edit it, and send it back.\u00a0 The office has gone fully mobile.\u00a0 And with free apps like Google Drive<\/a>\u00a0and Skydrive<\/a> which offer the ability for users on the latest generation of phones to edit documents without having to pay for a full office suite, even the smallest business can enjoy the benefits of a fully remote pocket office.
\nMobile payment apps<\/strong>
\nExpecting people to carry cash is becoming more and more likely to lead to disappointment for business owners.\u00a0 But with mobile payment apps, customer plastic is swipeable no matter how far you stray from your home POS system or card terminal.\u00a0 Apps like
Square<\/a>, enabled by a tiny plugin card reader that you attach to your mobile device, are a super-convenient development that helps you do away with the old system of mailing invoices and hoping payments come through.\u00a0 For many businesses, this means cutting payment delays down to nothing and boosting collection rates sky-high.
\nMobile meeting apps<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s no surprise that smartphones have taken communications to the next level, but meeting apps have pushed things even further.\u00a0 International conference calls have become child\u2019s play.\u00a0 Now, businesses can do video calls, mobile presentations, and more, all through tablets and some advanced phones.\u00a0 Apps like
GoToMeeting<\/a> and Skype<\/a> are making connecting easier than ever before, whether it\u2019s an internal status call or a presentation to a prospective customer.
\nMobile storage apps<\/strong>
\nWorking with big files can be a pain even when you\u2019re not on the little screen, so it\u2019s essential that you have smooth, functional solutions for sharing large files remotely.\u00a0 Enter
Dropbox<\/a>\u00a0and SkyDrive<\/a>, the hugely popular way to grant access to those monster image files, videos, and pdfs that have been the cause of so many email errors in years past.\u00a0 Now, your whole team can stay in sync no matter where they are, with cloud-based secure folders.
\nMobile finance apps<\/strong>
\nFor many years, there have been a wealth of solutions available to help businesses keep track of income, expenses, and other financial matters.\u00a0 But now that things have gone mobile, these solutions have had to evolve \u2013 and evolve they have!\u00a0 Mobile Apps like
Mint<\/a> and\u00a0Xero<\/a> are totally mobile and ready to take in data and update records on the fly.
\nMobile sales apps<\/strong>
\nWhat do most businesses want more than anything?\u00a0 More sales!\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the key drivers of success, and having an app that can generate sales is hugely valuable.
