5 key management tools for businesses
We all need to organize better, work more digitally and make processes flow smoothly.
The key? Choosing the right management tools.
We're not talking about filling your computer with apps that you don't even open, but having the ones that really make a difference at hand: they organize tasks, improve communication, make invoicing not a nightmare or make the team know what everyone is working on.
Why are management tools so important?
Because no one scales a business with good will alone. It doesn't matter if you lead a large company or a smaller project: if the processes are not clear, if the team is not aligned or if you don't have visibility into what's going on, everything costs three times as much. Management tools are not just “technology” or “fashion”, they are the basis for a business to run smart: more efficiency, fewer errors, better decisions.
And no, it's not about relying on technology, it's about using it to your advantage to free up time and focus on what's important.
Management tools that are worth it
Notion - To have it all in one place
Tasks, meetings, databases, team manuals, content... You name it. Notion is so flexible that it adapts to large companies, small teams or personal projects. Ideal for creating order out of chaos.
Slack - Noiseless communication
Perfect for keeping the team connected without relying on email. Project-based channels, quick chats, integrations with other apps... Clear, agile and professional communication.
Asana - Serious project tracking
Task management with dates, people in charge, dependencies, tags and everything you need to keep track? Asana is top. If you work with deadlines or clients, they save you.
Holded - Invoicing, finance and more (for SMEs)
A little gem made in Spain. With Holded you control invoices, expenses, budgets and even human resources from a single platform. If you are a company or SME, it simplifies everything for you.
HubSpot CRM - To have your contacts in order
When you start to move, talk to customers, suppliers, press or leads... you need an agenda that is not the chaos of your WhatsApp. HubSpot is just that: order and control of your relationships.
Where do I start if I'm a mess?
If you're reading this while jumping from meeting to meeting or with 25 tabs open, the idea of “adding tools” seems like just the opposite of what you need. But here's a trick:
Pick just one area to improve. Communication, finance, tasks, customers... And start there. Once you have that in order, the rest will follow.
Good management is not about having a thousand tools. It's about choosing the ones that help you work better. With focus, with a team, with clarity.
The impact in numbers (because data doesn't lie)
Using management tools is not just about “getting better organized”, it's an investment in results. According to a Monday.com report, 54% of companies that adopt project management solutions see clear improvements in productivity in less than 3 months.
