Time for a digital spring clean to 'app'timise your working life

However, whilst ‘app’timising day to day living and giving smartphones a digital spring clean is something the research shows people need to do, helping people make the most of their app library is particularly key within the small to medium business community. A survey of over 1200 SME decision makers showed that 56 per cent want to use apps more to help with their day to day working life.

The type of apps that SMEs felt they would find most beneficial to their businesses were travel and communication followed by accounting/finance and time management and meeting and networking apps.

As part of its commitment to helping businesses use technology to make work life easier and more efficient, Trainline has worked with Holly Brockwell, tech expert and founder of leading tech site Gadgette, to develop a guide and top ten list of the best apps to keep people ‘appy’ in their working life.

Holly Brockwell said: “With so many apps being downloaded and left to clutter our app libraries, it’s time for a digital spring clean and to ensure you are only downloading the apps which really work for you. Your phone has the potential to help you run your business more smoothly, effectively and in a way that’s professional but simple.”
