Are you interested in boosting productivity and improving your workday? We thought so. One thing that seems to constantly impact productivity is paper. It slows down processes, creates bottlenecks, and isn’t very environmentally friendly.
Just think about all the printing, signing, scanning, and mailing involved with paper. It takes a lot of work to keep a paper process going. As remote work becomes more prevalent and fewer people have printers, scanners, and other office tech at home, it’s more important than ever to transition paper processes to digital ones.
Of course, we are big advocates of automated document generation, eSignatures, and online forms – no surprise there! But we want to share some other helpful apps you can use to go paperless and be more productive.
Evernote
No list of apps for going paperless would be complete without mentioning this quintessential productivity app.
Evernote lets you get rid of unnecessary pieces of paper by allowing you to take notes, photograph receipts, make lists, clip web pages, and more. Available for free on phones, tablets and desktop or laptop computers, it’s the perfect paperless solution for keeping everything together in one place.
Dropbox
Consider this helpful app your virtual and paper-free filing cabinet. With Dropbox, you can securely and easily store, manage, and share all of your important documents.
Its availability across devices also means that you will never be without access to the documents you store there. The service is free for up to a generous 2GB of files, and additional space is available for purchase.
CamCard
Business cards are great for sharing contact information, but they’re also really good at cluttering your wallet or desk too. Enter CamCard, a virtual rolodex for all of those pesky, yet handy business cards.
Using their iOS or Android app, you simply snap a photo of a business card and it extracts pertinent information like company name, job title, email address, and phone number to add to your contact list.
Expensify
Ah, the dreaded expense report. With receipts to print, scan, or staple, completing or processing an expense report is an unenviable task for everyone involved.
With Expensify, capturing receipt data, tracking time or mileage, and creating expense reports is quick and easy. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial, and monthly plans start at $5 per month after that.
