Work Smarter in Your Business #1: Cohesiveness and Task Sharing
It’s important that you and your entire team are on the same page from the beginning. Make sure all company procedures, rules, policies, tasks, performance guidelines, and opportunities are known by everyone. Do also keep all equipment and software up to date so everyone can work as efficiently as possible.
You can also consider a work management software like Asana, that allows team members to contribute and view assigned tasks, provide up to date progress reports and check off jobs that are complete. This type of software will also remind you and your team of important meetings and crucial upcoming dates
Work Smarter in Your Business #2: Accounting Software

Accounting software can help simplify your job and ease some worry you might have about money. You can add software that tracks sales, income, outgo, payroll, and even does financial projections. If you don’t want to run it yourself, you can even delegate it to someone on your staff such as an office manager.

If it makes sense for your type of business, you can free up your team to work from home, save on rent and utility bills by using a cloud. You’ll need to make sure your team works from secured networks to avoid any security risks, but once you’re established, the days of having to work on networked computers will be a thing of the past. Find your shared office documents quickly and easily and share with simplicity.
Just make sure your cloud provider has adequate security in place and provides you with round-the-clock access to IT support in the event of a problem. For example, a company like SmartRoom’s virtual data room comes with a high-security promise.
