Business Tech: Gadgets that Will Help Increase your Productivity

Gadgets  

Business productivity is the grease that keeps cogs moving smoothly. Software systems and physical gadgets that increase productivity should be treated as an investment rather than a liability.

Productivity in the workplace is often left at the mercy of employees. If they feel like working more today, then great. If not, a business owner usually doesn't follow up with any long-term solution aside of course from the occasional motivational and confidence-boosting speeches. Today, fortunately, businesses are in a position to streamline their company through the help of gadgets. Hardware and software components are causing a paradigm shift in the workplace, wherein past gaps that have plagued productivity are now being filled with these intuitive systems.

Wireless Small Office Printer

An example of a great small office printer would be Canon Maxify. While it does seem like a big-ticket item, the investment is worthwhile and can boost productivity levels in any workplace setting. The best feature of the printer is that it can also act as a duplex scanner, which allows you to scan double-sided paper documents simultaneously thus saving you an immense amount of time.

Standing Deck

If a full-sized desk is too large or too pricey to have for every employee in your workplace, products like Stork Stand are a good buy. Not only does it maximize productivity by giving employees the option to complete work tasks while standing up, but also help them avoid the health effects of prolonged sitting. A related product is LumoBack, which actively monitors the wearer's posture and buzzes when they need to stand up or walk.

Charging Stations

There's only so many power outlets employees can use in the office before the place looks like the back-end of a phone company or a database center. Wires and mobile devices should be placed in one accessible area of the workplace to streamline the flow of people charging and unplugging their devices. With gadgets like MultiDock, you get a smart charging station that can accommodate up to 10 devices simultaneously.

Mobile Platform

Allowing your employees access to information whenever and wherever they are can boost productivity by a significant amount. Companies like WAVELINK can provide mobile access to host applications through products like Velocity. This gives you access to host applications including but not limited to warehouse management systems and enterprise resource planning templates.

Business productivity is the grease that keeps cogs moving smoothly. Software systems and physical gadgets that increase productivity should be treated as an investment rather than a liability. It may just be the competitive edge that distinguishes you from other brands and the missing element that could propel your brand to new heights.
