Wondering what the best apps for virtual offices are? You’ve come to the right place. Managing a team can be tough, but managing a team remotely can be even tougher. That’s why we rounded up the top 3 apps for virtual offices. And of course, we would not recommend them unless we knew they worked. TOCmedia uses the following apps and they keep us working like a charm.
Asana
Asana is one of the apps for virtual offices that keeps everyone sane. Its user-friendly interface allows team members to assign smaller steps within main tasks. This way, once a step is completed, no matter how small, team members can physically check it off. This leaves little room for confusion, as the whole team always knows where everyone is on the project. To make things even easier, Asana allows users to upload files and chat directly in the project thread, so all the useful information for a task is conveniently located together.
Dropbox
For more permanent storage, Dropbox is one of the best apps for virtual offices out there. Business accounts allow multiple team members to have access to the same well-organized, non-compressed files; it’s basically a digital file cabinet. It can also come in especially handy when you need to share files with your team that are too large to be sent by email and you don’t want to compromise their quality.
Slack
Think of Slack as texting on steroids. This colorful communication is one of the essential apps for virtual offices. If you need to ask a team member a quick question or send them a photo of your project, just slack them via the mobile app or desktop window. This way, you don’t have to go through the formalities of email and can receive timely answers. You also don’t have to sacrifice your work/life balance by giving your private number to your team. With Slack, you’re always available – but on your own terms.
These apps will revolutionize the way that you do business. As always, if you need help implementing them into your virtual office, please contact us. We look forward to working with you!
