Right now, we are more connected to each other than at any point in history. Take your smartphone for example. To reach a family member or friend miles away, all you have to do is type out a few words and tap a button for a message to be delivered in nearly an instant. While we may be connected in our personal lives, sometimes it seems as if the business world’s connection is lagging. In today’s tech-driven atmosphere things move fast. Here are four valuable tools that can boost the connectivity of your team.
Project Management
Asana, a mobile application designed to help teams of all sizes track their work, is an easy-to-navigate project management tool that can help your team get organized, all while fostering connectivity. Created by former engineer Justin Rosenstein and Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, this project management tool not only tracks your team’s projects from start to finish, but earns results, too. Enabling teams to work forward with projects, tasks, conversations and dashboards, this tool makes ideas happen, turning conversations into tasks and eliminating a flooded email inbox. Companies like Airbnb, NASA, Red Bull, Allstate and The New York Times all use Asana.
Mobile Hotspot
Have you ever been in a pinch where Wi-Fi or internet access was just not available? Whether you need to send an important email or finish a final draft on a project for a client a mobile hotspot can ensure that you’re connected, no matter where you are. While more and more places today have Wi-Fi available, it is not wise to always depend on it. Connections can time out and some require passcodes or fees. Never miss a beat. With a mobile hotspot you can take your Wi-Fi wherever you go, whether it’s on your daily commute, on a weekend vacation to the country or any place outside of the workplace, because not all deals are closed at the office.
Invoicing
Is your team made up of remote employees? For those who work on the road or who work from home, invoicing can at times be challenging. It hasn’t always been easy to keep invoices sorted — until Hiveage was invented. This online invoice software is trusted by 50,000 freelancers and small businesses from 140 different countries for its simple-to-use features, detailed reports and more. Hiveage gives entrepreneurs the ability to manage teams by granting differing levels of access to specific staff members as well as time tracking, mileage calculation and expense tracking. Plus, users can invoice from any device, boosting connectivity and making sending an invoice easier than ever before.
Web Conferencing
Join.me, a collaboration tool designed exclusively to cut through pointless procedures, protocols and politics with the click of a mouse or tap of track pad, can connect your team by making collaboration not only simple but instant and continuous. Companies like Time, Fortune and Techcrunch have all used Join.me’s services. Team members can meet face-to-face, whether they are using a PC or an iPad. Great for entrepreneurs on the go, Join.me allows collaboration via its shared screen feature that gives users the ability to share anything from web pages, documents and apps. Each conference can be recorded so that your team can revisit the digital meeting at any time. The app can be purchased via the Apple Store and GooglePlay.
