Essential Small Business Software perfect for any toolbox

Best Small Business Software

Running any small business can be a challenge but rest assured that there is software out there to help you organise, communicate, collaborate and keep your finances in order.

If you’re not using the right tools, then you’re missing out on making your life a lot easier!

To help you, we’ve put this list together of our Top 5 Software Tools for Small Business (FREE and Paid). Of course, there are many different types of small business, and many different apps out there for you to choose from. But these are undoubtedly some of the best!
If you can recommend any that we haven’t mentioned, feel free to add your thoughts below.

Trello lets you work more collaboratively and get more done.

Trello’s boards, lists, and cards enable you to organise and prioritise your projects in a fun, flexible, and rewarding way. Clear up your desk and say no to sticky notes! You can now keep all your notes and lists on Trello, which will sync with your PC, Tablet and Phone so you can access them at any time.

This App is extremely helpful for those who love making lists! It’s so easy to set up and intuitive to use, whether a one-person business or many teams.

Whatever work you do, you can do it in Slack. Say “Goodbye” to email!

Slack gives your team the power and alignment you need to do your best work. It brings all your communication together in one simple communication App.

Teamwork in Slack happens in channels – a single place for messaging, tools and files – helping everyone save time and collaborate with ease.

Channels can be divvied up by team, project, client or whatever else is relevant to your organisation. Team members can join and leave channels as and when they need to – unlike with lengthy email chains. Threads keep side conversations from derailing the topic or project at hand.

There is also The Slack Directory, which has over 1500 apps that can integrate into Slack. It really is worth checking out!

Get Gmail, Docs, Drive and Calendar for business.

Everything you need to do your best work, together in one package that works seamlessly from your computer, phone or tablet.

HungryWolf® is an authorised Google Cloud Partner and every pay monthly business website we create includes a Google Workspace account giving you access to professional branded email, online storage, shared calendars, video meetings and more.

Google Workspace keeps the technical side of email and syncing your devices very simple and secure! It is specifically built for business and helps you run your small business on the go!

As your reseller, we offer help and assistance when required, but you also have the added benefit of 24/7 Google Support – and they are superb! The Google help centre is also extremely easy to navigate and find answers to your questions.

Less time on accounting, more on what you love.

Xero accounting software gives businesses the tools to take care of the numbers and spend less time on accounting. Xero streamlines tedious admin tasks and gives you more time to spend on innovation.

You can manage your finances on the go from anywhere with the mobile accounting app and you can understand your financials better with the business performance dashboard, so you can make informed decisions.

You can add staff or your accountant to view your data at the same time – and control their level of access and sync Xero seamlessly with hundreds of third-party apps.

Xero is going from strength to strength and once you have used it, you’ll see why! Send invoices online, receive payments online, set up your bank statements to automatically import into Xero and automatically chase your customers for overdue invoices.

Microsoft Office 356 is very similar to Google Workspace but can also include the Office applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams.

It is a little more complex than using Google Workspace and can be difficult to set up, but it is certainly worth it! There is seamless integration between the 365 apps and Windows, and this can help you greatly if you do use Microsoft Office already.

As with Google Workspace, you will be kept in sync with laptop, PC, tablet and phone, therefore having access to all your files and emails on the go. Microsoft Support is good and there is plenty of help online if you need it.
