Five Green Mobile Apps for BusinessMarch 22, 2010 New mobile applications are springing up like weeds as business users are shifting to iPhones, Droids and other touch-screen mobile devices. Here are just a few apps that for a very reasonable price (in some cases – free) may help you save money and emissions with the added bonus of greening your office space and increasing business productivity. If you have a smart thermostat in your office, you have the ability to control the office temperature when you’re not there. Doesn’t it make sense that if everyone is out of the office there’s no need to run the a/c at the same temperature as when the office is fully occupied? Save energy, save money. Price: Free Mobile Fuel Log for Smartphone If a fleet of company cars is on the shopping list, think about downloading the Mobile Fuel Log before your buy. This app will compare the MPG of different autos and will also provide trip costs to help you calculate the cost of business travel. Price: $5.95 Are you drowning in business cards? EcoContact will allow you to wirelessly exchange contact information without the need for a card. How many cards do you pick up during a networking event? Where are they? Where they probably are not, is at your fingers when you need them. EcoContact changes all that. Price: $1.99 (iTunes account required) Real estate appraisal and inspection forms straight to your iPhone or Droid – sound good? You can also draw floor plans, map with GPS, add photos and email PDF reports. Price: Free Away from the office and concerned about server performance? Check server status right from your phone with ping and TCP/IP port scans. Price: $.99
