9 Essential Software Tools To Boost Your Productivity
A few weeks ago, I was talking to a friend who made a full time shift to work from home.
Part of her role was to help her sales, marketing, and IT teams be more efficient.
She asked:
“Since you’ve been working from home for over 7 years, what type of software tools do you use to manage your team?”
I tried listing them all and realized that we use quite a few at TIQ Software.
But here are the top 9 tools I use (hopefully this is helpful).
Communications
Slack — our main communications hub. It’s like mission control for my entire team.
Grasshopper — a virtual phone system with a toll free number. I set up forwarding to our team members cell phones based on sales, support, etc.
Productivity
Trello — we track all of our project tasks and run our sprints including marketing, sales and account management with Trello.
Typeform — we use Typeform to collect end user feedback in both of our software products — Trajectory IQ and Quickify.
Zendesk — its tightly integrated help support feature means that we can triage all support tickets and deliver hundreds of helpful support articles in one place.
Graphic Design
Sketch — we use Sketch to setup all of our software templates. It’s useful and cost effective.
Invision App — we demo our design prototypes to our customers and they look and feel almost like the final product. It also integrates with Sketch.
Conclusion
We use a lot of automated tools and hopefully some of these are useful.
