     There are many arguments back and forth about technology in the workplace.  Some say it’s a distraction, others a new way of doing business.  It’s no longer a faux pas to have your phone out at a meeting.  Updating calendars to quickly taking notes, we use our phones for everything.  Why not use the technology to our advantage by having a customized set of tools at our fingertips!  

1. Venmo—  If you need to make payments on the go, this app is for you!  There are no fees and no forms.  It’s a fast way to split lunch meetings, cover client’s travel, etc.  This is a top notch alternative to PayPal.


2. TripIt— An organizational tool that puts all of your travel bookings in one app, it also helps keep track of expenses for tax filing as well!


3. Contactually— This app helps you manage existing contacts and leads.  It helps you maintain relationships with them through daily follow-up reminders as well as track progress with weekly statistics.  Set up due dates within the app, or notifications for any contact leads.  This app really helps you get the most out of your connections.


4. Invoice2Go— End the moments of headslapping when you forget to invoice a customer!  Do it on the go with this app that sends professional looking invoices, fast.  Don’t let forgotten amounts due slip through the cracks.


5. EchoSign— You don’t have to wait for a scanner anymore.  Adobe, using pdf technology,  sends esignatures on important documents through your mobile device or tablet.  These documents are stored using cloud technology and speeds up the pace of your day to day business.



     Used wisely, technology can help any entrepreneur be a resourceful powerhouse.  These apps hopefully simplify the process and paperwork of daily business so you can focus on your product and productivity.
