Apps to watch in 2024

This year we have prepared a selection of TOP trending tools that will help your business. Let's take a look at which online apps are worth following in 2024. The list is focused on apps for small and medium-sized businesses.

For better orientation, we have divided the tools into 8 categories:

• Company data
• Sales
• E-commerce
• Accounting and Customer Care
• General business needs (No code platform, data synchronization)
• Finance and Accounting

• Special categories

We also announced one overall winner in each category that caught our attention. You can recognize the individual winners by their purple label.

For each app profile you will find not only a description, but also future plans, trends and news for the coming year. Get inspired and take your business further in 2024, perhaps with one of these apps.

An effective strategy that will make your email correspondence much faster and more enjoyable. SupportBox does what any other email box does - it manages your emails. But it puts the ordinary email box in your pocket, because it can do a lot of extra tricks! Customers love to write to multiple channels at once. First they chat, then they send you an email, and then they call you after five minutes with no reply. So don't access each channel separately and keep all your messages together. You'll get everything done faster and avoid duplicating actions and responses.
