Throughout each and everyday here at PassKit, we use a number of tools to get things done. Here are the top 8 tools the employees of PassKit use everyday.<\/p>\n

Tool 1) Slack<\/h4>\n

Slack<\/a> has changed the game of internal communication. Not only does Slack make having simple one on one conversations easy, but it also keep everyone informed on what\u2019s going on in all parts of the business. Being able to have different channels allows for teams to communicate with each other while eliminating the need to have many different meetings or even to pull someone aside just to share an idea.
\nSlack also makes file sharing a breeze. Just drag and drop and you\u2019re done. No need to email or use dropbox. Another amazing part of Slack is it\u2019s ability to integrate with other tools. Slack allows for your sales leads, customer inquiries, even your business’s Twitter activity to show up in a Slack channel. Eliminating the need to have so many tabs open in your internet browser.
