The Google Finance App allows you to import your portfolio, and access the current stocks in the market as well as compare them with other companies of yours respectively. This allows easy access to the market as well as a comparison can be made easily as initially, the only way was to visit the Financial Advisors or track each companies annual report and draw a conclusion. The Google Finance App is a bit handier especially for those with small investments as tracking each company is time-consuming and appointing a Financial advisor to track would not be cost-efficient.
Business is grwing fast through using different apps. selection of appropriate apps based on the business type and volume of operation is important to proceed with apps you choose. It need to define the clients and customer will reach to through using the apps.
I would suggest to find the service/product wise apps that will benefit the business and find the best strategies to provide more satisfaction to the users.
