One of our greatest fears at this present moment is, certainly, how to execute some administrative and managerial business functions amidst a scenario of quarantine, when we are all at home, with no possibility of personal meetings.

Therefore, the alternatives for organizing and executing the work digitally are essential at the moment. Whether for planning a new project, or for accompanying routine tasks, it is possible to find the ideal tools for every situation.

To edit documents to be shared in real time, Google Drive is an essential platform. Stable and practical, it works with no need to download any additional software, and consumes very little internet traffic. It also allows for an organization of archives that makes managing very easy, especially when sharing several accounts.

Slack, on the other hand, is the ideal app for organized and efficient communication among a team. It is a better organized option than whatsapp groups, because it has specific functions for the corporate world that are very valuable in daily work.

To facilitate group meetings via video call, the offer of platforms is ample. The GoToMeeting , for instance, offers the possibility of a large number of users within the same call, and has communication tools that are very useful for meetings. On the other hand, Microsoft Teams is an example that adds other services besides teleconferences , such as sharing and storage of archives.

Lastly, Trello is a complete tool for managing daily tasks and projects as a team, in an intuitive and very simple digital ambiance that favors the understanding of how the functions interconnect and the work is structured. It is ideal, and even its free version is quite powerful and complete.

It is important to stress, especially at a time of constant use of the internet at home, that digital security must be redoubled. In large companies, the information technology departments protect daily use, but this does not exist in a domestic ambiance. It is worthwhile to seek information about the best preventive practices against attacks that may put the corporate information in danger.

Seeking solutions like these is essential at challenging moments such as the ones we are living now. They offer extra help for the management of our work, even if remotely.

The need for confinement that has spread throughout all of the world’s major centers has demanded new ways of dealing with daily situations, such as consumption itself.

Limited by the lack of open commerce, there’s only one way out: digital shopping. This category, which was already becoming a viable option for many consumers, became stronger at this moment of confinement.

Representatives of the segment in Brazil, such as the Associação Brasileira do Comércio Eletrônico (ABComm) (Brazilian Association of Electronic Commerce), declare that the quarantine situation has already impacted the national e-commerce, with a performance higher than expected at this time of the year. 

This happened not only due to the increase in sales of products usually bought through the internet, such as electronic and home appliances, and books, for instance. What leveraged the sales sector are new segments of commerce being attended to digitally, such as grocery and drugstore shopping, and food delivery services.  

The consumption via internet of daily goods, such as food and cleaning products, has leveraged this sales model. This means a great advance for the entire market of e-commerce in Brazil. Mainly for representing the gaining of the confidence of consumers in the digital medium, as they perceive that it is an easy, practical and safe way to buy what they need.
