That's a lot of tools! Any chance you could group them by function too?

And which ones do you personally use?

[Soumyadeep Mandal]

Hi @Matt Doar ,

I used all of them and nowadays I use most of them on the list!

[galina]

I think there's a typo in "Tendem" — you're talking about Tandem tool, right? "An online water-cooler"?

[hurt crucial]

Which are the best tools of these list to running a business?

We've been using ClubHouse, TeamWork, and Trello in this list. Trello, perhaps, is one of the best apps ever for managing staff. Our company has also implemented a business messaging platform that allows us to talk with our customers online and discuss various things. For example, through https://clerk.chat/ software our client can get some info from us about the products we have in detail. It's like a progressive interaction between a client and seller, so probably our team benefits from it a lot. Didn't ask my partners tho, but I like it.
