Agiled vs Shoeboxed: Which is a better fit?

Robert T.: Hi there. My name's Rob, and I am the president and founder of my organization, and I'm giving Agile a five, and you can click on the link below for more of the review. Before Agile, I was really using, I'm going to call it a Frankenstein. I was using a lot of different applications, everything from Honey Book, to Excel, to Basecamp, to Trello, and trying to manage all of those. Dropbox for client files. It was just trying to piece all of those things together was just too much so I looked at Agile and found that all of those functionalities were built into the one platform. With Agile, the thing that I really like about it is, is with my organization, I'm trying to grow and I wanted to have the infrastructure and the pieces in place so that I could do that easily without having to change it all later. Being able to have a CRM, an HRM, so a human resource management tool built in, but also being able to use it for project management and the client portal. Those pieces together make it so that everything's built in. I'm using it for accounting and proposals now as well. It's really going to be really the backbone of my organization. Getting started with Agile was actually not that big a deal. It's a continual process, and going through all of the tutorials and the videos and the upgrade recently to the new interface was pretty simple. It's really just making sure that you're migrating the data that's important and the information that's important and setting it up so that you can do it. But even if you mess up, it's not that big a deal. You can actually change things pretty easily and quickly on the fly. Getting started with Agile, the biggest piece of advice I'd have for you is be thoughtful on what you're trying to accomplish and why you want the tool in place for your business. Only put the information in that you need to get started. Don't try and migrate everything, because a lot of times if you do that, it's garbage in, garbage out. So be thoughtful on what you're trying to accomplish, what the platform's really going to do for you, and then build your plan and your implementation plan from there. It doesn't have to be a highly documented tome. Use your note cards, use whatever, but build out the process and build it so that it fits your business. Don't make your business fit the tool.

Laurie R.: Hi, I'm Laurie, a nurse practitioner, and I give Shoeboxed a score of five out of five. For more reviews, like this, click below. Before I found Shoeboxed, oh my gosh, I was literally cramming all of my receipts in my wallet, in my purse, in my car, in drawers. Then I came upon this great app, Shoeboxed. Oh my gosh, it changed my world. I can snap a pic of the receipt. I've got it. If I need it for future use or for a reference, it's right there on the Shoeboxed app. It simplified my life instantly. I was looking for something to help really organize my receipts. It comes tax time. You're looking for them. You need to make a return. You need to turn in a receipt for business. You're searching everywhere. And the Shoeboxed app really simplified that because as soon as I check out of the store, scan something, I can just scan it on my phone into the Shoeboxed app. I don't have to worry. It's there. It's safe. It's secure. And I am not having stacks of papers that I have to go through when I, again, need to turn in a receipt to work, when I need to turn in a receipt to the taxman, or anything. I'm not struggling, and I have reduced the clutter of all of these receipts that just pile up. Shoeboxed is really simple to integrate into your business. Simply download the app and really just create your account, and off you go. You could use it for different... If you have like a large office, certainly you have other employees that can use it as well. I have a small business, so for me, it's just myself. But it's applicable to different sizes of businesses. And that's also the great perk about it. Your employees are not having to worry about keeping up with receipts, sending them in to you, and then them piling up and wondering, "Did I turn that receipt in or not?" You've got a record of it. If you're thinking about ways to really organize your office, your employees, your life, I really recommend taking a look into the Shoeboxed app. It's perfect for any size of business, be it a small business or a large business. They have different options there. It just is really going to make your workday happier and make your employees happier keeping up with it that way.
