With more and more companies opting to use mobile devices as their primary communications systems for everyday business operations, Uplands is here to offer our top tips to ensure you’re getting the best out of your business device to maximise company growth.

Smartphones and tablets are becoming more commonplace amongst businesses, helping to organise and streamline services using newfound technology that has come about in the last few years.

According to a report from UK-based price comparison service USwitch, there were 71.8 million mobile connections in the UK at the start of last year, with the site noting that this is likely due to the fact that people will have more than one connection through their personal and work phones.

This has increased from 2021 by 3.8% (around 2.6 million) showing the steady growth of mobile usage. These statistics suggest that a significant number of businesses in the UK are likely to be using mobile devices.

With the latest figures from Techjury showing that 50% of B2B enquiries are made on mobile devices, it’s clear mobile business devices are the latest innovative way forward for business owners and companies to scale and grow their business and reach new audiences.

So how can your business stay on top of these advancements in tech? Here are our top tips to effectively use your business devices to the best capabilities…

This one may seem obvious, but there are some excellent mobile apps like Expensify or BizExpense which give users the ability to easily track, monitor and manage expenses by scanning or uploading receipts and organising via the Cloud.

3. Secure Communication Channels

One of the best ways to manage your business securely is through the channels available on mobile devices. Using encrypted message apps like WhatsApp or VPNs, you can protect your sensitive data without worrying about hackers breaching your software.
