    Staff writer for NerdWallet.com, Angie Picardo, shares how small businesses can stay organized with technology.

    More and more in today’s digitally-powered world, apps are increasingly used by small business owners as invaluable tools to help businesses grow and function fluidly. Here’s a handy list of 10 awesomely convenient mobile and web apps, each designed to help you get organized and stay connected.

    5. Tripit

    Tripit is a revolutionary app that allows on-the-go business owners the chance to track trip arrangements all in one place. The app also provides weather updates and directions to make traveling easier than ever. Makes travelling much less stressful.

The app offers robust functionality, allowing users a solid tool for filling in forms on-the-fly. Other features include an audio recorder, camera, and signature collector. In fact, FormMobi can even be used to create CAD-quality sketches.

    7. Expensify

    Expensify is an easy app that keeps track of business expenses, allowing users the chance to scan and upload receipts. Employees can even file receipts and submit expense reports to employers with a simple smartphone click.

    9. Asana

    10. Square

    Square offers business owners a chance to easily accept credit card payments via smartphone or tablet. With no sign-up or monthly fees, the service takes 2.75 percent of each transaction – an indispensable app for small businesses entrepreneurs.

    Get organized, stay connected, and be visible with these productivity-driven smart business apps. They just might save you a few headaches, and a lot of time – two things small business entrepreneurs could use less (and more) of...
