5 GADGETS YOUR EMPLOYEES WILL APPRECIATE
A linked workforce is nearly expected in the twenty-first century. Every industry appears to have found methods to use various types of gadgets to improve the efficiency of the work being done. Employees, from fast service workers to letter carriers, are outfitted with technology intended expressly for their tasks. How does a small firm pick which devices to purchase? Check out these ideas to determine if one of these trendy new tech solutions is a good fit for your business.
Beam Beam is one of the trendiest technologies to reach the market in recent years, and it will make your Skype sessions appear obsolete or can you fax documents from your iphone. Beam is a Segway-style robot with a place to mount an iPad, allowing your happy face to wander around the office via controls on your screen and speak with any friends or coworkers that happen to be nearby.
Consider the travel expenditures you may save by shipping a Beam device to a meeting site instead of spending thousands of dollars on flights for your team. With a price tag of $16,000, the Beam may be beyond of reach for small businesses, but the developers are looking into methods to rent them out during major trade exhibitions.
Tuff-'n'-Tiny USB 32GB Drive Verbatim
Flash drives have been around for a long time, and I'm sure most of us have a drawer full of weird shaped flash drives from visiting innumerable conferences and trade exhibitions. When you have to bring out a neon orange flash drive in the middle of a presentation to upload the PowerPoint, it's not exactly attractive to the customer.
Verbatim's Tuff-'n'Tiny 32GB drive permanently alters the USB flash drive game. They really mean tiny when they say tiny. This drive is about the size of a penny, but it can carry thousands of documents and hours of video with room to spare. Your company's sales force will appreciate having these so that the next time they give a presentation, they can whip out their dazzling wallets and pull out the smallest flash drive ever seen.
LG G3
The G3, one of the hottest Android handsets on the market, builds on the success of its younger brother, the G2, which was released in 2012. With a 5.5-inch QuadHD display, the G3 is nearly large enough to leave the laptop at home. The tablet is pre-configured to sync with Google accounts, so connecting your staff should be a breeze.
With their capacity to run a plethora of apps, both for business and pleasure, Android devices appear to have begun to seize control of the smartphone market. The G3 is available for free with a T-Mobile contract, so you should rush to the store to stock up on these for your staff.
Docusign
This San Francisco-based business has transformed the way you manage papers. The days of emailing a document to a client or vendor, asking them to print, sign, and fax it back are long gone.
Docusign notifies the recipient via email that there is a document requiring their signature. The user then simply signs with their finger on a tablet or smartphone, removing burdensome stages from the process and making your life much easier. Docusign accounts start at $15 per month and should be something that all small businesses start incorporating into their everyday activities.
PaySaber POS (Point-of-Sale)
iPhones are one of the most adaptable products on the market, and PaySaber has discovered yet another way to put the popular Apple phone to use. Simply place the iPhone into a dock equipped with a credit card reader to use PaySaber Point-of-Sale. After a simple download of an app that connects you to PaySaber's back-end software, you're ready to take on the retail world.
Most small businesses that do a moderate to high number of transactions each day would benefit from a program like this, which would allow cashiers to walk from behind the counter and out into the sales floor to check people out. PaySaber accounts vary based on the number of monthly transactions, but with a very professional and flashy monthly report, it will be worth it to never have to handle your receivables again.
These are just a few of the hundreds of gadgets available in the workplace. Every few weeks, something new appears and completely changes the game. If your organization has had success with a specific gadget that isn't included above, please leave it in the comments so we can talk about it!
