Just what is says in the tagline, BI without the overhead and exorbitant cost. An easy way to track everything that's going on in your business.

ScrapeLogo · Answer

Build an audience with what you post in social - and not just with your own content. Soft-sell in a call-to-action that rides on pages you share to social. That's Rite.ly and is easily used with RitePush.

RitePush: $29/month. Use with RiteForge for social media post creation and scheduling or use with Buffer or Sendible for scheduling. Template your preferences, pull in content from 13 integrations, including Buffer, CSV, Feedly, Evernote, Pocket, Slack..., save your scheduling preferences, and generate up to 100 "enhanced" posts in seconds, then top up your social profile queues for days or weeks.

Kuba Rogalski · Answer

We can't imagine our internal communication without Slack. On top of that, we use the tools like https://trello.com for task management, https://heapanalytics.com, https://www.hotjar.com/, and Google Analytics for different sorts of analyses, https://stripe.com/ and https://recurly.com/ for managing payments, and we also use our very own https://brand24.com for media monitoring.

Wilkins Foster · Answer

Whether you are working for a startup or a massive company, the fundamentals you need for work would never change. And I believe the most essential app/software you need to get work done is a seamlessly working document app. I tried many different note-taking apps and while they were all great, they did not support a team-based document base. We tried Google doc for a while but it was difficult to track things.

collabee lets you document your progress on any current projects. You can create tasks and events with a certain timeline and request for your managers' decisions on action items. On top of that, the document (they call it an "Issue") are co-editable which is a big yes for me. You can share your feedback in the comment section on the right and make a reference to the items written in the issue if necessary.

It's free too! Trust me and try it out!

Trevor Clifton · Answer

Who doesn't like switching back and forth from the apps? Well I know for sure I don't and if you are like me, try collabee. It's a major time saver!

Derek J. Sine · Answer

Zoom has legit integrations with Google Calendar + native features across Desktop/Mobile devices.

Derek J. Sine · Answer

Keepin' it real here. We live and die by Google's Suite. However, we're constantly trying to refine our workflows and keep it lean without taking on too much technical/workflow debt. We focus more on organizational maturity through ideologies and delivery models and the tools we put into place streamline those processes. Management is agiler in our approaches whereas our labor force is locked into specific stacks + SOPs that are vetted. Love all the suggestions!

Naman Bhutani · Answer

I've been using Trello for almost 2 years now, I never had to micro-manage things manually. Trello does it all for me. It's an amazing project management tool which also lets me integrate with a lot of other services like Slack, etc to automate a lot of stuff and make it more useful, everyday.

Teams combine Skype, Slack, Google Drive, and more into one easy to use tool.

I have separate teams for Marketing, Product Dev, Customer Support, and more. You can create channels in each one with their own conversations, files, and other tabs. I use Planner for Project Management and you can add tabs for each project the team is working on.

I have pretty much all the essentials included with my Office 365 Membership making bootstrapping much easier.

Jason Grills · Answer

That's definitely a great question. When I started off alone, I had no idea what tools to use. But as I researched more, I realized that there are certain tools you need to have if you plan on making your website more accessible for your target customers and to boost sales. So my list of tools that I can't live without includes:

Microsoft Dynamics 365 (great for capturing customer details and studying a journey to learn what can be done to become better)

ProProfs Chat (very easy to add to your website, makes support accessible for customers that further prompts them to reach out whenever in need)

Google Analytics (to check our progress and whether we are meeting are sales goals or not)

I also have a knowledge repository but it is integrated with my live chat tool, which further helps me to provide instant support.

MailChimp (Because I am getting a lot of sales thanks to our email marketing campaign that is personalized keeping the customer's needs and interests in mind)

I guess these are my basics for now.

Vineet Gupta · Answer

There are so many tools that are required every day, but one of the very important tools for us is ProProfs Chat as it has been helping us in knowing our customers better, resolving their concerns and overall improving the revenue.
