What web/app solution can you not live without and would recommend for a business?

[Davidmott]

I'm curious to know what my fellow UKBF members are using, technology wise, to make their lives easier!

 

[Mr D]

Ebay app for the apps.

Technology wise:
Laptop, vacuum cleaner, mop, bucket, plastic bags, cups, plates, cutlery, printer, postal sacks, boxes, freezers, fridge, cooker, rolling pin, drugs, lights, clothes, coats, boots, parcel tape, bottles, car, rollator, walking stick, flush toilet etc.
Quite a lot of technology makes my life easier.

Zips. A lot simpler to use than buttons.

Web apps? None of them are vital - there are always alternatives

One mobile app I use an awful lot is Camscanner, fabulous app.

 

[Andy Davies]

Slack

It just works and does everything you could want from a messaging/collaboration tool

Dropbox integrates brilliantly but is getting a bit expensive now, things like one drive just don’t work as well

 

[Julia Sta Romana]

Basecamp for project management. It just makes task assignment and tracking so much easier.

I think that it all depends what kind of business you are running. It would probably be some app which makes your business running and your life much easier. I am not going anywhere without my laptop computer and my IPhone, for example

A big hammer and a can of oil
I normally get through the day with this type of technology

Oh I forgot a Blackberry and that is 100 % true !

A large net. Chickens are fast!

It sounds simple but we couldn’t be without our iZettle and SumUp machines.

We do plenty of food festivals where there isn’t always a cash machine nearby and I’m amazed at how many other traders seem reluctant to get one because of the relatively low 1.7% charge.

On top of this both systems have an EPOS style app that will both register cash payments as well as card so we can view in real time how the market is going if we’re not there.

So simple and yet so time saving and it ensures that we don’t miss a sale. Something I can’t seem to get across to some other traders - 1 even told me once it would be better if no one took card machines as there is then no expectation on the other traders to either!
