The Top 5ives..
“Nothing
in life is free” – that’s a normal quote from those who don’t understand the
vast opportunities and products available on the internet that are made FREEEEEE!. There are apps and
there are APP’s. I for one, don’t easily allow my credit card to be charged in
order to pay for an item. I spend time searching the internet looking for where
I can get what I need almost free. And viola, in the process of searching, I
came up with this list:
“Top Five Free Business Apps you’ve never heard about”
This
list is purely subjective, on one hand. On the other hand, I really do think
that these are the best free business apps because I’ve looked at other lists
and they all come with usual suspects, like Evernote, Dropbox or Skype. How
very enlightening. NOT. So here is my version.
1. Bitrix24
I hearby declare Bitrix24 the best free business app that you
probably don’t know about. In fact, Bitrix24 is 35+ business tools inside a
single platform – CRM, project management, employee management, call center,
virtual office, cloud call center, document management, invoicing, email
marketing and much more. There are three things that Bitrix24 does
exceptionally well. First is CRM
and client management. Second, collaboration,
planning and project management. Third, human
resources information system. One review called Bitrix24 ‘business
management platform and I think that’s the best description for it. Or you can
think of Bitrix24 as Salesforce+Skype+Dropbox+Basecamp in one. Totally free for
12 users. Available for iOS, Android, Web, Unix, Linux, Windows and MacOS.

2. Qwirl
Qwirl is a bit difficult to explain, if you never tried it.
Essentially, it turns any business document into an interactive webpage.
Think of Qwirl as free quotes and proposal software. Or a way to create
beautiful presentations for your clients. Or reports for investors. That’s
Qwirl. Founded by ex-Googlers, this service has all the chances to become the
next Prezi.

I wish every service would have pricing page like WaveApps.
The service is absolutely and totally free (and it’s a very powerful
accounting platform). It’s especially great at scanning receipts, which is done
by simply using your mobile phone camera once you install the app called
Receipts by Wave. Unlike Expensify which handles only expenses, as the name
implies, Wave Accounting can be used as a payroll and invoicing solution.

4. Bizagi
Bizagi is a free business process modeler solution used by more
than 500,000 users worldwide. It is 100% based on BPMN notations, which is a de
facto standard for business process automation nowadays. Granted not very many
smaller businesses think about processes, standards and procedures, but if you
are ready to grow, definitely give Bizagi a try.

5. Schedulehead
Schedulehead is an employee scheduling service. As long as used by
10 employees and 1 administrator, it’s absolutely free of charge. The free
service includes knowledge base and email notifications. If you operate your
business with tablets and smartphones, ShiftCalendar may be a better choice,
but for non-mobile workforce I think Schedulehead works better. You may
also want to consider upgrading to paid plans if you want your employees to
receive text messages with their schedule updates.

I hope this list proves to be very useful to every business owner
out there.
