Whether you’re out on the road, working in a home office, or collaborating remotely with business partners or vendors, you’re going to need apps. The web-based solutions listed below will help make collaborating and communicating easy, efficient and enjoyable. Here are five top picks:

Slack helps you exchange cumbersome email threads for real time, team-based communications. Slack saves every remark in a conversation thread (including attachments like documents or other media) for later reference.

Trello is a project management solution based on a system of cards and project boards, similar to a real-life corkboard with index cards. Each card allows you to attach links or documents and contains individual message threads to keep things tidy.

Meldium manages passwords for teams, giving system or document access to team members without direct sharing of any passwords, closing a huge security gap when dealing with sensitive information.

Docady converts any camera-equipped device into a document scanner, then organizes those scans into a searchable database that’s encrypted to military-grade standards, keeping all your important files in a secure digital space.

Box is a file sharing and collaboration tool that supports many file types, including Office Online for editing Word, Excel and PowerPoint files simultaneously with remote team members.
