STAFF REPORT ISB: A smartphone has the capacity to organise the users day, minutes, business trip and even clutter on a busy day. For entrepreneurs, having a smartphone loaded with the right kind of apps is like getting investors to back their venture.
Stefan Haubold, Global Managing Director and Co-founder of Carmudi, though otherwise known as a savvy entrepreneur, manages 18 countries globally without ever having to miss an official appointment or even a play date with his children.
According to him, as many as five apps are necessary for an entrepreneur including Evernote, Triplt, Dropbox, Scanner Pro and Company App.
Evernote is an easy-to-use app that helps the use remember everything across all of the devices you use. Triplt facilitates entrepreneurs travel, means of logistics, schedules, last-minute delays, confirmations. Dropbox lets the user bring all his photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Scanner Pro transforms your iPhone and iPad into portable scanners and Company App allows people to look for cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles on the go.
Before having tasted entrepreneurship, Stefan worked as a consultant at Roland Berger and Allianz. But then he decided to take on more responsibility and be in the drivers seat. Thats when he founded ePetWorld, an e-commerce business catering to the pet food segment that grew significantly in Germany.
