With all of the technological advancements, it can be hard to keep up with what is available. But there are many benefits that come from using technology in your business. Some of these include cost savings, productivity gains, and higher customer service ratings! In this blog post we will discuss 4 ways that technology is making your business better.
Save Money
The amount of money saved by the use of technology in your business can be surprising. From cloud storage, to online invoices and automated systems, you will start saving a lot more than what it costs to implement these technological upgrades! Here are some examples:
Cloud based email platforms such as Google Apps allow for free accounts as well as inexpensive paid versions for your business emails.
Virtual phone solutions such as Ring Central and Nexmo allow you to have a local number that rings all of your phones at once or anywhere in the world, saving on long distance charges!
Property Store Property Management CRM Software is designed to be your one stop shop for all your property investing operational needs. This means that you only need to subscribe to a single powerful software instead of multiple apps and spreadsheets.
Save Time
In addition to saving money, technology can also save you a lot of time as well. With automated processes and online invoices you will not have to spend as much time inputting data or sending out customer statements!
Automated payment reminders via email that are sent directly from the accounting system without any extra effort on your part can save a ton of time!
Online invoices reduce the amount of time it takes to send out or pay bills, allowing you more free time in your day.
When you increase your productivity, it allows for more time to focus on other tasks and projects. This will help your business stay organised and efficient!
Document scanning services that allow you quickly upload important files into the accounting system like DocuLynx or DropBox that can be accessed from anywhere by anyone with permission.
Cloud based scheduling platforms like Acuity Scheduling, Calendly or Doodle are great for team collaboration and allows you to schedule meetings with clients directly from your email.
Property Store took all the best features of these apps so now, you don't need separate apps such as Dropbox or reminders apps. Simply use property store and you're good to go.
