Deputy Review – Streamline Workplace Communication
By Stephanie Miles, 7 June 2013
The goal of every business owner should be to work smarter, not harder. Deputy is a platform that aids in that process, streamlining basic business management tasks like scheduling, timesheets, payroll, and employee communication. Business owners can spend less time worrying about what their staff is doing, and more time focusing on growing their companies from the ground up. In this Deputy review, I will test out the people management platform, keeping factors like ease of use and reliability in mind. I will look at the platform from the perspective of both a business owner and an employee to find out if this is a tool that could actually benefit small to mid-size companies.

Megaventory Review – Cloud-Based Inventory Management
By Stephanie Miles, 23 May 2013
Megaventory is an inventory management platform that was built to provide businesses with the tools they need to manage the flow of products in their warehouses, create quotes, log sales and purchase orders, issue work orders, and create detailed inventory reports. Ask any small business owner about the most challenging part of the job, and you’re likely to hear about the hassles associated with inventory management. Keeping track of stock levels, supplier availability, inventory returns, and purchase orders are more than any executive can handle on his own. In this Megaventory review, I will test out the web-based system, looking closely at how the platform performs for wholesale & retail companies, small and very small businesses, and franchise chains. I will drill down to determine whether a bundled system, like the one Megaventory provides, is truly the most cost effective and sustainable option for small to mid-size businesses. I’ll also offer my recommendation as to whether using Megaventory is worth the investment of time and money.

By Rakesh Sharma, 28 January 2013
Mobile devices can fragment and assimilate, in equal measure.

In some cases, this approach solves problems. More often than not, however, the approach causes integration complications and problems. This week, we will look at Jobber – a solution that integrates multiple elements of business management for service companies with field personnel into a cohesive project management solution. We will look at its interface, features, and see how it can be of use to you.

How Retailers Combine Major Selling Channel Partners and Solutions in One Application — Review of Stitch Labs
By Michele Nachum, 28 November 2012
Any retailer knows that whether you are running your business on premise or in the cloud - you are probably using a number of tools manage all the different aspects of the business. Perhaps you have an accounting software program; an online e-commerce solution or an inventory application; a credit card reader and more. Switching from application to application can be very time-consuming -- if not confusing. So the trend these days have been companies such as Stitch Labs to take advantage of open API's in order to "stitch" or aggregate various applications together so small business owners have only one place to go to perform multiple tasks. That is efficiency at its best and is what makes Stitch Labs such a robust application for a product just a year out of its beta.
