You can never grow stagnant with new ideas to organize your everyday business tasks. Your arsenal grows daily with new ways to stay organized, stay connected, and get things done. As a business owner, we are always on the run and in today’s world, we need to be connected more efficiently than ever. Mobile apps have given us an opportunity to streamline our business process and work smarter, not harder.
We can now manage our time, our money, and even our marketing on the run. Here are ten tools you can use to move your tasks from the to-do column to the done column.
1. Quickbooks App
QuickBooks has been around for a while as one of the top ways to do your accounting for your business. Keep track of everything from invoices to expense reports using QuickBooks. This app allows you to keep all your information synced across all of your devices automatically allowing for true mobile business.

Nothing is more challenging than keeping up and maintaining all of the different social media networks out there. It can consume a large portion of your day. With the Hootsuite app, you can keep track of every single one of your social media networks from one dashboard that allows you to schedule posts, monitor conversations, and quickly streamline your social media workload.
3. GoToMeeting App
GoToMeeting gives us one of the benefits that the Internet was designed for. GoToMeeting allows you to not only attend the meeting in a remote location but also enables you to share screens so that you can attend presentations and training sessions. The mobile app allows you to do all of that without a computer.
4. Google Maps App
People thought Google was crazy when they decided to take a car and drive on every street in America, taking pictures along the way. They created quite a product and offered it for free, allowing people to get to where they’re going faster and easier than ever before.
5. Sunrise Calendar App
Designed by the Microsoft Corporation, the Sunrise Calendar app is the one and only calendar you’ll need to manage your entire work day. It syncs seamlessly across just about every major platform and calendar in use today, making this one of the most versatile time management tools you can put on your phone or tablet.
6. Smartr– Contacts Organizer App
Nothing is more frustrating than realizing you have six different contact lists over six different platforms, many of which are duplicates, and the rest of which are unique to one list and you don’t know which contact is on which list. Smartr is a contact app that allows you to not only search for duplicates but will keep all you all of your contacts synced in one place. Managing your contacts has never been easy, but you can make it even easier on yourself by using Smartr to stay top of everyone in all your contact lists.
7. Instagram App
Instagram is more than just a social media platform. It is a visual beast that allows you to take pictures and videos and post them to any major social media network. The Instagram app lets you do it with your phone or tablet so that you are not tied to a desk or computer. Even if you don’t post your pictures to other social media network platforms, Instagram allows you to post your photos, follow other people, and most importantly – allow other people to follow you.
8. 1Password- Password Protector App
Password generation has never been a strong suit for many people. The passwords for many people are full of security holes such as using the same password for every application or creating an easy to guess password like your son or daughter’s birthday. This password protector app will not only create unyielding and difficult-to-guess passwords but will keep it safe and secure for you so that you don’t have to remember them. Security has never been so convenient, and the mobile app will keep your passwords synced across all your devices so that you don’t have to remember your bank password while you’re in the car and realizing you have to go home to get it.
9. Microsoft Word App
Microsoft may be the king of operating systems (at least for the moment), but in the business world they are more. They also create the world’s foremost productivity programs that businesses use every single day to keep their businesses running. Microsoft Word is one of those programs that allow you to create professional looking documents with very little effort. While one may think that it is merely a word processor, it is chock full of advanced features that allow you to turn a simple text document into a feature-rich experience.
10. Waze- Traffic and Navigation App
This traffic app does one thing that computers alone can never do – it gets people to work together. This is the one traffic app you’ll need to be alerted to anything from speed traps, accidents, road hazards, and traffic. It gets its data from real people in real time so that you can avoid longer routes and get to where you’re going faster. Furthermore, you’ll get information on the cheapest gas in town that is on your route – if it weren’t already free, this feature alone would make it worth it!
