Apps are downright fun. You can use them to play games such as Angry Birds, check the latest Hollywood gossip or discover which Thai restaurant in your town is ranked the highest by local diners. But what about for your business? The good thing is there are lots of apps which can help you grow your small business in 2014. And the Orlando Business Journal just recently ran a story highlighting some of the finest.
Business on the go
The Square Register app is an especially useful one for small business owners who operate mobile kiosks or food trucks, according to the Orlando Business Journal. Once you download this free app, you can accept debit-card and credit-card transactions through a small square device that hooks up to your smartphone or tablet. Though the app is free, you will have to pay a fee any time you use Square Register.
CamCard
Is your desk drawer filled with business cards? You can change this using the CamCard app. Once you download it, you can use it scan your business cards and have the information on them automatically put into the contacts section of your smartphone. As the Orlando Business Journal writes, it’s easy to understand how this app can make you and your business more productive.
No more scheduling snafus
Business owners who want to make sure that all employees understand what tasks have to be done in a given day should download the free Asana Mobile app. As the Orlando Business Journal says, this app allows business owners to make personal task lists that employees can also open. This allows staffers to understand exactly what tasks are currently being done and those that should be scheduled.
