Ways to Boost Your Small Business with Technology
Technology can help small business owners leverage limited capital in smarter, more effective ways. In most cases, using technology provides greater efficiency and versatility, making it a natural progression for processes you may already have in place in your business. The followings are some areas to explore when you’re ready to boost your business through the integration of technology.
Productivity
Adopt a Time tracking software. This is an excellent tool for mapping out where time is spent, by whom. Such analysis when properly utilized is great for accountability, process improvement, and productivity. Also, to enhance productivity, an efficient email management process is important to make it easier for you to stay on top of the flow of messages.
Financials
Adopt an online invoicing service. This automatically captures the flow of transactions and reduce the costs of collecting payment from customers. Also, to aid your finance, integrate a comprehensive accounting software to streamline your business finances.
Marketing
Use software to create a marketing plan that you can edit, update and share with your team. The social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube, etc. is also a technological tool for you leverage on in promoting your business, products, and services.
Collaboration and Learning
Expand your knowledge and empower your team with online business training. Webinars or web conferences are great for keeping everyone in the loop with travel-free face-to-face time.
Customer Service
Set up an online help desk or ticket system to handle customer issues. This could also be done through your social media handles.
