We’ve found it is a strong option for businesses like this, looking to sync tasks across devices via Google accounts. It’s accessible on desktops and mobile devices alike, and is a lightweight option for simplifying daily workflows. Without too many features, this is an ideal option for those looking to simplify and improve workflow on a tight budget.

From our experience this cloud-based project collaboration and interaction tool makes communication easy across businesses and organizations. Slack is a solution for all industries, offering public channels for team members to begin conversations. Additionally, Slack offers the ability to have direct, private channels ensuring messages arrive exactly where they are meant to.
There are various price plans in place, but these all start at just $6.67/user/month. A key benefit we appreciate is Slack’s unique ability to incorporate social media feeds into the application and ongoing channel conversations. On top of that, Slack has the option to drag and drop images and documents into current chats. With the handy archive feature, we found you can search for conversations, keywords, or documents later on making this a great option for promoting effective team communication.

For task planning using a visual collaboration tool, we think Trello is hard to beat. It can be used by a wide range of departments including sales, support, HR, and marketing. Trello is a web-based solution that allows businesses to create project requirements making sure everything is completed in the correct order. Digital creation boards, to organize and prioritize actions, are key on this platform. Managers can define workflows easily, assigning work to specific users while setting deadlines.
Trello starts at $5/user/month, but can be scaled up for different levels including Premium and Enterprise. Essentially, we’ve found Trello to be a great way to collaborate with team members. The use of Trello cards allows the team to add comments, members, and documents. In short, Trello is a professional package with high levels of security and the ability to integrate well with applications such as JIRA Cloud, Google Drive, and Slack for increased team collaboration and efficiency.
