The modern world offers new hurdles but thankfully some time
saving devices to cut through the thickest part of the hedge. Many of these
devices not only save time but create new ways to make money. Many of them do
not even require a large capital investment.
Device Number One: Home Black and White Laser Printer
While an inkjet printer is still smaller and offers color at
a lower start up cost, it often has a grainy print that looks amateurish to
professional recipients. Ink is also expensive for someone dependent on buying
new cartridges. A black and white laser printer is sold everywhere and costs
less than $100. It provides speed, convenience, and a sharp look in-office.
Device Number Two: Promotional Items through Custom Manufacturers
Making a key chain, carrying bag, company flag, or sport
drinks bottles with an original message is not only possible but very cheap.
Plenty of firms offer this service and merely take a generic blank from inventory
and sew or paint the emblem with small industrial equipment. Computers do the
work, so even the cost of human labor is minimized. This can be a cost
efficient way to advertise and thank customers or employees.
Device Number Three: Smart Phone Card Swipe
Individuals and businesses can subscribe to this service,
either for a monthly fee or a transaction fee. This is especially useful for
services that occur in the field, such as home repair. It is also a great way
to receive payment for deliveries, and even pizza drivers use them. The only
liability is when goods are purchased with a small margin of profit.
Transaction fees can eat into business, so it is better to choose a monthly fee
for retail.
Device Number Four: Human Resource Management Software
One good example is HR
software by BambooHR. Any quality software that tracks employees and their
accounts can cut back drastically on office work. Managers in the bad old days
had to work salaries and juggle shifts with pencil and paper. This cut into
their time or they had to hire assistants who did the work for them. Software
can eliminate the need for expensive employees or make better use of office
time.
Device Number Five: Cloud Software
Companies have used internal networks since the 1980s. They are still used, but a cloud creates a virtual network that also gives the business owner advanced administrative tools. The network goes home with employees and they log into the client software from their personal computers. This type of flexibility allows for outstanding oversight, remote offices, and security without all the extra cables.

Many Retail POS Systems are cloud-based. This feature allows the retail manager the option to check on store operations even when they are away from their store.
