Top 10 iPad Business Apps To Make Work Easier
Searching for ways to better your business simply by using your iPad? Look no further
- Workflow
If you find yourself repeatedly using your iPad for a small number of specific purposes say, regularly using its calendar feature or pulling up the latest stock market figures then you may be costing yourself valuable seconds. Try not to be too shocked, now.
Enter Workflow: instead of going through the rigmarole of opening up each individual app, Workflow enables you instead to create little extensions on your device that enable you to execute the actions you want to do quickly and efficiently. Costing just £2.29, you can use Workflow to automate the tasks you find yourself doing the most: simply create a short macro using the app and you can then pull up a certain action, like the calendar or a particular stock, with just one tap.
- Penultimate
Positioned at a rather appropriate numerical position on our in-no-particular-order list is Penultimate, which gives you the power of the pen. Well, not really – quite literally drawing on your iPad wouldn’t be the best idea.
But what the Evernote-created platform does provide is a handsome note-taking app that gives you another option from frantically tapping away at your iPad’s virtual keyboard during a meeting. Choose from an array of smart “inks”, and then scribble away; you can also search through your notes for a particular key word or phrase when it comes to pulling up vital information later on. It understandably works best with an accompanying stylus, but if you find that this is the best method of note-taking during business hours, then Penultimate may just become your new pen pal.
- On Shelf
And finally, an app for retail businesses far and wide: On Shelf is here to assist you with all of your inventory needs.
What does it do, we hear you ask? Well, how about assessing and then recommending how much of a certain product you should stock in order to maximise sales without running up unnecessary costs? Or its ability to scan barcodes, view sales history and develop revenue reports? On Shelf may just be the best non-employee you’ll ever hire.
