A life hacker, together with the Startpack service, tells how to save time and find working tools for a business of any size.
Neither a large business nor a small company can do without the services on which all work processes are built: communication with clients, project management, interaction with personnel, inventory control, marketing and a lot of other things, without which it is difficult to imagine any online or offline business. …
There are tons of tools for every task. It is not so easy to choose the most suitable one for the needs of a particular company. You can spend days looking for scattered information, studying user reviews and comparing tools with each other, but you never know that there is another, more convenient service.
Fortunately, there is a solution to this common problem - the Startpack service matching system. The life hacker has already talked about it, but since then the system has changed dramatically.
What is Startpack
At its core, the Startpack platform is not more like search engines like Google and Yandex, but more like digital app stores like the App Store or Google Play. The only difference is that Startpack does not sell anything and that instead of mobile applications, a wide variety of services for business and personal productivity are collected here.
The system allows you to search and select cloud services taking into account the specified criteria, as well as compare them with each other, view ratings, read reviews and reviews from people who have already worked with them.
How it works
Now Startpack has collected more than 2,000 services, including CRM systems, collaboration, project management, sales automation, marketing and telephony, as well as many other tools. Despite such a number of services, finding the one you need will not be difficult.
All tools are conveniently sorted by category and industry. In addition, there are many filters available to help you narrow your search and find the most suitable tool for your specific needs.
Startpack also has an intelligent recommendation system. It analyzes the services you use and then automatically picks out other tools you like.
And then there are regularly updated collections of the best, free and new products, among which you can always find something interesting, as well as a section "Publications" with reviews of services from other users, where they share their experiences.
Why use Startpack
Finding good business tools becomes a real challenge, largely because information about them has to be collected bit by bit. In addition to a single directory where you can view all available services, Startpack has other advantages.
Save time
Searching for the services you need in Startpack is much faster than trying to google them. On the page with the description of the service, you can immediately view detailed information about it, find out the prices and get acquainted with the reviews of real users.
At the same time, Startpack presents the capabilities of all services in a unified format, eliminating the need to understand various wordings and not allowing marketers to fool their brains with their tricks.
Convenient search and selection by parameters
Not every service works equally well for different companies, so peer recommendation and successful experience do not always mean that the tool is right for your purposes. You can choose the best service only by carefully selecting the criteria you need.
In Startpack, the process of searching for tools is noticeably simplified due to the selection according to a number of parameters, which at the same time differ for services of different directions. Available filters include sorting by platform, integration, and specific features. You can immediately weed out irrelevant results and choose exactly the tools that fit your business needs.
Rating system and reviews
Service sites are always full of rave reviews, but most of them are fake or hide product flaws. You can understand the value of the service only by trying it in practice or by reading the reviews of real users. Startpack has a rating system and a large user base who share impressions by truthfully describing their experiences.
Thanks to this, the services you like are easy to evaluate even before the configuration stage, saving time and, possibly, money. The rating of each tool is made up of user ratings. There, on the service pages, real reviews are posted, indicating the pros and cons of the product. In this case, you can always clarify the details of interest by asking a question to the user who left a review.
Service comparison capability
When choosing services, the only correct options are rarely found. Often, the management of companies sets certain conditions, and managers have to choose tools based on how they meet the requirements.
When several favorites appear in the process, among which it is impossible to choose one in any way, the service comparison function comes to the rescue in Startpack. It allows you to visually compare the capabilities of the two services, highlighting the functions that are important to you, and then shows the final score in points, which will help you to make up your mind and make a final decision.
Possibility to order settings from specialists
If the business is small and there is simply no one to entrust the choice of services, then it is better for the manager not to waste his time and order a turnkey customization service from professionals. It will also be relevant in case of specific requests or the complexity of integrating tools with existing solutions.
Startpack has integrators - specialists who completely customize the selected services taking into account the needs of the business. If necessary, they will help you implement new tools, integrate them with those you already use, and transfer workflows from one service to another.
Who will benefit from Startpack
Startpack is useful for entrepreneurs, managers and in general everyone who has at least a small business. Any company is accepting orders, communicating with customers, managing employees, scheduling tasks and dozens of other work processes, each of which is built on various cloud services. Startpack will help you find the perfect ones.
