Another year gone, and once again all of the marketing and advertising agencies are putting out their “Best of” recommendations. While thinking about the 2015 year and all of the new applications we downloaded, tried and came to love, here is our list of the 5 Best Business Apps of 2015.
The 5 Best Business Apps of 2015
Expensify
This expense-report-creating application allows it’s users to easily scan receipts and categorization of business trips all within a clean, intuitive UI. It includes the ability to track mileage, meals, and more, then submit your expense report directly from your mobile devices. It also creates Free flight status updates and detailed expense reports for your business trips. And if that’s not enough to get you to check it out keep in mind that they refer to this application as the tool that creates “expense reports that don’t suck.”
Evernote
If you have not downloaded and tried out Evernote before, now might be the right time to give them a try. Even though they weren’t new in 2015, they continue to top our list for note taking and team collaboration applications. The ease in creating new notes, capturing files, voice memos, and more from virtually anywhere makes this application a must-have. Their premium version is fairly new and allows for extended services, too.
Trello
If organization is an area where you need help, then Trello may be the application you should download next to make you more productive. This Free, flexible and visual application is sure to help your team stay on top of their tasks in the upcoming year. Especially appropriate for managing outside fulfillment teams and assigning and managing task completion. Need a place to keep a list of personal tasks? Trello may very well be the answer.
Slack
With more ways to communicate than ever, having a central source for team communications is not only wanted, but needed, welcome Slack. This platform offers an all-in-one communication hub that allows for searchable hashtags, the ability to upload images, links, videos and more. The UI isn’t as intuitive as many of the others that made this list, but we feel the positives this application brings far outweigh a “not as intuitive a UI.” We can only imagine with the adoption rate of this application that the UI will be updated in an upcoming version of this software.
Asana
This FREE project management tool is quite similar to the popular Basecamp project management application, but does so sans-email. As the ability to access project management tools and track progress towards project goals has become increasingly important and will likely continue to do so well past 2016. Similar applications have emerged, but none more powerful than Asana.
