4 Tools for Managing Productive Teams in Transport Companies

The current situation has forced many companies to change how they work; where remote working and digitalisation have taken on a more fundamental role. These factors have led companies to turn to different team management tools to meet two of the most highly sought-after objectives by all companies, in particular those specialising in transport: cutting down on time while improving performance.

Many companies in the transport industry have already gone 100% digital, while the rest are undertaking their digitalisation process, where tools, platforms and applications are needed to carry out the work in the best possible way.

As well as the necessary applications for fleet management and control, other tools are needed to facilitate team management in transport companies:

• Trello is a task organisation platform for planning team projects, keeping up to date with what stage each task is at and sharing all the information with the other team members.

What makes it stand out is the way it organises the workflow, through dashboards. Each project has an assigned dashboard, where categories and task lists can be created.

As well as the free version, with a wide range of features (unlimited members, up to 10 dashboards per workspace…), there are also three different payment options to suit any company’s needs.

• One of the most popular tools for communicating with your team members is Slack, an internal chat organised into different topics.

Other tools used in the project such as Google Drive or Trello can be integrated.

Slack has different subscription plans: Free, Pro, Business+ and Enterprise Grid.

• Another one of the most popular and widely-used tools to create workspaces is Asana, where you can organise tasks including information, deadlines, files, comments… with up to 15 members. Asana groups a team’s work in a shared space.

This platform’s key feature is that it is aimed at organising small departments or teams within large companies.

In Asana’s case, there are three subscription options to choose from, depending on the company’s needs: Basic, Premium and Business

• Clickup is an application that brings together the functions of all the aforementioned tools: project manager, documents and notes, spreadsheets, e-mail and chat, reminders, project and objective tracking, etc. Furthermore, information from other management and project programmes can be imported.

As with the previous applications, Clickup has four subscription options available to its users. Free Forever, Unlimited, Business and Enterprise.
