The Tools We Use To Run a Fully Remote Business

Running a remote business requires the right mix of tools to stay organized, productive, and connected. Here’s a closer look at the software we rely on every day:

Knowledge Base: Notion

This is our central hub for all things organization. We use it as a knowledge base for Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), ensuring that processes are documented and easy to access. Whether it’s onboarding new team members or creating workflows, Notion keeps everything in one place.

Email: Google Mail

For email communication, simplicity and reliability are key. Google Mail handles all our client and internal emails seamlessly, with features like labels and filters helping us stay on top of important conversations.

Cloud Storage: Google Drive

This is where we store everything—client assets, company documents, contracts, and more. With shared folders and real-time collaboration, it’s easy for the team to access what they need without endless email attachments.

Appointment Setting: Google Appointments

Scheduling calls with clients can be a hassle, but Google Appointments simplifies the process. It works just like Calendly, allowing clients to book directly into our calendar without unnecessary back-and-forth emails.

Accounting: Moneybird

Accounting can be time-consuming, but Moneybird makes it simple. From invoicing clients to tracking expenses, this tool ensures our finances are organized and compliant. It’s perfect for small-to-medium businesses looking for an intuitive accounting solution.

Team Communication: Slack

Communication is the backbone of any remote team, and Slack keeps us connected throughout the day. We use channels to organize conversations by topic and the Huddle feature for quick audio chats during our weekly stand-up meetings. It’s fast, efficient, and keeps everyone in sync.

Code management: Github

For development teams, GitHub is essential. It allows us to manage code collaboratively with version control, track progress on projects, and ensure that everyone is working on the same page!

Password management: 1password

Passwords can be a pain to manage securely across a team, but 1Password solves that problem. It stores all our passwords in one secure vault while allowing easy access for those who need them—no more risky spreadsheets or forgotten logins.

What Are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)?

PWAs are websites or web apps that act like native mobile apps but don’t require downloads from an app store. They’re fast, reliable, work offline, and provide an app-like experience directly from your browser.

Businesses are increasingly adopting PWAs because they’re cost-effective to develop and accessible across devices without platform restrictions.

Some Benefits:

• A PWA can let customers browse your online store even when they’re offline.

• They load faster than traditional websites, improving user experience.

• They’re updated automatically—no need for users to download new versions.

Quote of the Week

Many businesses investing in software don’t have a clear understanding of what they’re solving for—and that’s where things go wrong.

Before diving into development or adopting new tools, take time to define the problem you want to address and research it thoroughly. Clarity at this stage ensures your software delivers real value and aligns with your business goals.

If you have questions or want advice on implementing these ideas in your own business, we’d love to hear from you!
