More small businesses are using mobile devices

Small businesses face an uphill battle when competing with larger competitors. Thankfully, using new technology can help SMBs accomplish more, which levels the playing field. Mobile technology offers innovative ways to operate business management software such as ERPs, so they can streamline processes and run a tighter ship. 

Growing fast
According to the Boston Consulting Group, mobile technology is the fastest-growing technology of all time. Not only that, but small businesses that use this technology are growing faster than their non-mobile counterparts. These companies and their revenues are growing at significantly faster rates than competitors using older technology. In last year's Small Business Technology Poll, AT&T found that the number of small businesses using mobile technology has grown to 94 percent, up from 85 percent in 2013. 

Saving time and money
According to the AT&T study, small businesses using tablets and smartphones saved employees 2 billion hours a year, and $65 billion a year. Mobile devices let users scan and upload data from invoices. Delivery drivers can use GPS to find the best route. Vendors can scan credit cards right on their phones and email receipts. Manufacturers can monitor production from anywhere in the facility. Inventory managers can scan items as they're shipped. Mobile devices continue to make day-to-day tasks faster and simpler, while connecting workers with accurate, centralized data.
