Top 5 online tools for entrepreneurs to stay organized


And that commerce needs to be found as opposed to be discovered in all different places that you are. We are helping businesses leverage all of their social presences. Leverage all of the websites that they have. And we are also giving them much more time into what they do best, instead of spending it configuring new websites and new store fronts. Time that would be better spent working on the core of their business.”

3. Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500

Remaining organized while conducting business is crucial. Furthermore, not being able to find documents when you are running a business is like an artist not having access to his utensils, while trying to work on a canvas. Certain files and documents serve as everyday tools for a business, and the longer it takes to pull up these things, the more time you waste.

Thankfully, there is an outstanding solution to staying organized in the work place, it is known as the ScanSnap iX500. Fujitsu limited has built a device that will scan and extract the text from Word/PDF/JPEG documents, receipts, and business cards. The ScanSnap has the flexibility of being able to work on both Windows and MAC computers.

So, how does this device increase productivity? First, the “Quick Menu” (the menu that is displayed on your computer after you install their software) gives you the opportunity to store files directly into different cloud programs such as Evernote, Dropbox, Google Docs and SugarSync. This eliminates the frustration of having to search through messy cabinets, folders or unorganized USB drives. Once the document is saved, simply pull up your chosen cloud service and type in the name of the document or folder it is saved under. This machine along with virtual storing software can now replace some of the metal filing cabinets that crowd the office space.

The second way it increases productivity is through Wi-fi. Since the ScanSnap has Wi-fi built into it, a document can be scanned and instantly shared to a tablet or smart-phone. Not only does it improve efficiency at work, it also it gives you the ability to access files immediately when you are out of the office.

Client experience satisfaction is at the top of the list for many SMBs, but finding the best practice to stay in touch with clients is not always easy or cheap. Big companies usually tackle this task by hiring customer service representatives around the clock. Although for a small business, this may not be a feasible option. Typically, it ends up being most of the staff in small business that have to dedicate many hours on the phone answering frequently asked questions. This in turn, limits the number of tasks that need to be completed.

Any wild guesses as to how ARB is suggesting this issue should be dealt with? If your guess was technology, then Arbitrage is happy to know you are noticing the potential technology has to offer. We are by no means recommending your staff to start ignoring a high volume of phone calls. NO that would be crazy! We are simply providing an alternative that allows you (and other co-workers) to prioritize time, while still offering clients a reliable customer service experience.

viClone Corp. has designed virtual customer service agents that are accessible via phone and internet. The virtual agent is a great opportunity for start-ups to be in contact with their clients during and after business hours.
