Why you need a smartphone built for productivity

A mobile phone is more than a simple communication tool. The best device for your business should be a flexible workstation that fits in your pocket.

Not so long ago, a work mobile was simply a useful way to keep in touch while on the go. That in itself has huge productivity benefits, whether your organisation is involved in international finance or local services. The ability to communicate with clients and colleagues from wherever you are is easy to take for granted, but imagine your business without it.

From communication device to key tool

As mobile technology has advanced, however, your work phone has evolved from a handy communication device into a mobile workstation. Top-of-the-range smartphones have become arguably more powerful than the laptops most of us use, making them a vital tool for your business.

Think of the tasks you use your work mobile for every day: keeping up with emails, organising your schedule, researching information, finding your way to a meeting, making to-do lists, reading reports, making payments, taking photos, making calculations (and yes, of course, making phone calls). Little wonder that according to research by Google, 75% of people say their smartphones help them to be more productive.

Boosting your productivity with your phone

The need for the UK to boost labour productivity is widely recognised. In their outlook for 2024 and beyond, global consultancy McKinsey & Company set out what they call the ‘three-sided productivity opportunity’ to address the issue. This points to the need to invest in technology and innovation, upskill talent and transform work practices, all while offsetting higher costs.

As a cornerstone of your day-to-day operations, your business smartphones should be integral to delivering on this productivity opportunity. The right device can enable new working methods, speed up tasks and drive efficiency, while keeping overall costs down.
