Tools for Remote Work in Panama

There are many great tools for remote work online, we will recommend you which are best suited to manage your business and your single or multiple area personnel and how these tools best adapt to Panama.

Our list have three important requirements for tools be applicable in Panama after studying our customers and our self:

  • Cost.
  • Language.
  • Learning curve.

We proceed to separate the business process in the following areas:

Communication: WhatsApp.

Working with many clients they find useless (delayers) the current methods of communication, they prefer the classic in-person or calls to close deals, those are more effective. Nothing better like a old school verbal one-to-one communication, real time chat groups, and instant file sharing. Taking advantage WhatsApp history for calls and chats. Use it on desktop as is more convenient.

Time Management: Everhour or None

The most important thing to understand in remote working, is that you don’t need your employees full time “connected”, you need things done. If you hesitate to time control Everhour lets you add time schedule by employee and reporting, also is available to integrate with Asana. Or refer to Law 126 of February 18, 2020 for know-how in time allocation.

File Sharing: Google Drive or Office 365.

In order to share and collaborate businesses have two good options, Google Drive is free (15GB) and you may already be paying for Office 365 so better use their One Drive solution. Share your file links directly to email, WhatsApp or integrate it with Asana.

We should mention, in some cases Box is a good solution cost-wise and persuade the user to understand they have a separate space for file storage.
