Digital Tools for Easier Business in 2023

Posted on June 1, 2023June 1, 2023 by Larry

There’s no end to the digital tools for easier business these days. Like any good program, these make getting things done more efficient and safer and should help you to reduce costs overall. Some will help you for a small cost, and others are even free to some small degree.

Apps for Securing Sensitive Data

Sensitive data is everywhere in a modern business. From customer credit card numbers to your employees’ addresses, you have a responsibility to keep certain information safe. And that means keeping it away from hackers and other criminals. For example, you can use digital signing software for improving the contract process in terms of convenience. But the most reliable e-signature apps also use high-level encryption to make tampering almost impossible.

Popular Automated Solutions

Automation is a major help these days. It helps a system perform repetitive tasks over and over so you don’t have to. This can be as complex as painting cars or as simple as cropping and saving images. But some of the most popular automated apps are used in digital marketing and brand promotion. Apps like MailChimp can help you with automated email newsletters. While your web builder might offer solutions for replying to emails and welcoming new customers.

Digital Tools for Easier Business Includes AI

Of course, artificial intelligence can help you with your business. If you need quick and relevant information about something, you can ask ChatGPT. Or you can use writing tools like Grammarly to correct your mistakes on a new blog. Further to this, however, there are powerful tools that can boost engagement and bring in new customers. For example, Pictory can generate a full video from a text-written idea. And you can use social media assistants like Flick.

Collaboration and Management Apps

The pandemic highlighted how useful remote work solutions can be. And top among some of these is collaboration and project management apps. Today, most offices still offer remote work more than during Covid, with some workers preferring to work at home. Apps like Trello, Asana, and Slack allow your team to communicate in real time and, later on, access cloud-based files and data and work on the same documents and other projects to stay on the same page.

Digital and Alternative Payments

Credit and debit cards are still used today. And they are useful. Yet cash is losing out as we use digital payment solutions. For instance, in only five years, the number of Americans using digital-only payments has risen from 29% to 41%. So there is an upward trend that you can take advantage of. You should start offering as many digital payment solutions as possible to your customers. These include accepting cryptocurrency as well as digital wallets like Google Pay.

Summary

You can use many digital tools for easier business these days. Encryption is used across e-signature apps, for example. And you can use AI to help you create content and engage with customers. You can also begin to accept digital payments to use a growing customer base.

About Us

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
