Top 5 Digital Communication Tools to Boost Team Productivity
When you work as part of a team, you need good communication systems in place to be able to operate effectively.
Here at Transmit, there are a few digital tools and services we use that help us optimise our communication and productivity. You might also find them useful for your business.
You can set up accounts with all of these services for free to see if they fit your own way of working.
Hubspot
Hubspot is invaluable for keeping on top of our communications at Transmit, whether that's sending newsletters, scheduling social media posts or keeping track of one-to-one conversations and attached tasks.
While they offer lots of different packages with a huge array of features, you can sign up for the foundational tools for free.

Dropbox is our go-to for storing shareable documents. It provides easy access across devices – be it desktop, browser, or mobile app. And the amount of storage space gives you a handy alternative way of sharing large files within your organisation - no more massive email attachments!

Slack offers real-time conversations, proving invaluable for remote teamwork and minimizing email clutter. We trialled this at Transmit Startups a few years ago, and it became invaluable during the pandemic when we weren't able to be in the same physical location.

Google Docs is still our number one choice for collaborative editing. Google Docs lets multiple team members work on a document simultaneously without creating 'conflict copies'.

There are a lot of task management tools out there, but our current favourite is Trello, which uses the Japanese philosophy of kanban to make project planning more visual. Users create 'cards' for each task, and can leave comments, assign team members, add notes and attach files.
If you know the joy of crossing something off your "to do" list, then you'll enjoy the satisfaction you get from moving cards on this virtual board!
