Running a business can be stressful, and sometimes you may feel you don’t have enough time to get everything done. Online business marketing doesn’t stop with your desktop computer. Business apps for iPhone can help you save time, but with so many apps out there, how do you choose the ones that will be most helpful to you? Here is a guide to some must-have apps for business.
1. USPS
Track and confirm packages, find local post offices, and look up zip codes when you need them. Great for businesses that do a lot of shipping.
2. UPS
Similar to the USPS app, you can track packages and find local UPS stores. However, if you have a UPS ID, you can access even more features, like accessing your address book and payment info, and print out labels.
3. FedEx
If FedEx is your shipping service of choice, they also have an app, with similar services to that of the USPS and UPS apps.
4. PayPal
For a safe and secure way to make financial transactions, the PayPal app allows you to send money, check your balance, and view past transactions. This is a great app to have if you run an eBay store.
5. eBay
Another great app if you have an eBay store, or if you’re just an avid eBay shopper. Track the status of your auctions, get notifications when a status changes, and much more. This is a great app to have if you’re bidding on item and can’t be tied to your desk when the auction is coming to a close, and you want to get in that last-minute bid.
6. Google Sync
If you use Gmail for business, you’ll want to get Google Sync, which synchronizes Google Mail, Calendar, and Contacts with your iPhone.
7. Stocks
The Stocks app is one that comes with your iPhone, so no download required! This app is pretty basic, but allows you to get up-to-date stock info.
8. Bill Trackers
This iPhone app helps you organize your bills. You can set up your monthly bills, get reminders when they’re due, keep track of how much you paid and when you paid it, and keeps those confirmation numbers too.
9. MileBug
This application helps you keep track of miles and other travel expenses when you’re on the road. If you travel a lot for business, this app is a must-have.
10. Credit Card Terminal
When you need to accept credit card payments on the go, this app will allow you to easily accept payments and let you know right away if the charge was accepted or declined. An invaluable tool for any business that accepts credit cards.
