What is Work From Home? What challenges do businesses face when Working From Home?
Work From Home , also known as Remote Working, means working from a distance. Simply put, this is a form of working at home or other locations outside the company office. Here, company employees will work online. Businesses mainly communicate about work through free chat applications, social networks, email, etc.
However, this remote working model causes businesses to face many difficulties, such as:
- Heavy workload, but employees often pass the buck and lack responsibility.
- Forgetting or missing too many tasks, leading to delays in plans and progress.
- Lack of tools to facilitate communication between departments.
- Lack of tools to monitor and measure work efficiency.
- No tools to digitize workflows for each department in the business.
A survey by 1Office shows that 95% of business managers understand the importance of work management tools, but only about 56% of them have found the right one. Let’s find the most suitable remote work tool for your business with 1Office!

7+ Work From Home Applications for Businesses
Trello
Trello is a business management software based on the Kanban method. The software is suitable for teams of 3 – 10 people, with work that is sequential in nature, focusing on simplicity, effective collaboration, and speed rather than administration.
Trello is free and quite easy to use, making it simple to track work progress.
The disadvantages are a poor communication environment and no hierarchy for members or levels within the business.
Asana
This is an optimal project management software that can be used on both web and mobile application interfaces. Asana is designed to help teams and businesses organize, track, and manage their work.
The outstanding advantage of this WFH software is that it is completely free for user groups with fewer than 15 members. The interface is designed to be easy to see, scientific, and easy for everyone to use.
However, Asana does not yet have a Vietnamese version, which makes it quite difficult for Vietnamese people to use. If your business has a large number of members, you must use the Premium version at $10.99/user/month or the Business package at $10.99/user/month.
Wrike
This is a fairly popular remote management software. Wrike has a full range of features such as creating tasks, assigning tasks, commenting, tagging names, and the ability to link a task to multiple projects…
However, the price to use it is very expensive. Wrike also only has a free version for teams of under 5 people. If your team has more than 5 people, you can use the Professional version for groups of 5 – 15 people, at a fee of $9.8/user/month.
Jira
Jira is a remote management software that is relatively suitable for technology companies. The outstanding feature of Jira is its extremely clear permission delegation function. However, the cost to use it is also extremely expensive.
If your team has fewer than 10 members, Jira is completely free. If your team has more than 10 members, you can choose one of the service packages below:
- Standard package costs $7/account/month
- Premium package is $14/account/month
- Enterprise package requires you to contact the provider directly.
Notion
This software provides a consolidated workspace that includes many tools such as a task board (which can be easily and flexibly dragged and edited), schedules, documents, and weekly to-do list tracking. In addition, the software also helps with easy planning, progress tracking, and interactive discussions.
For business teams, the cost per user is $8/month. However, the software has many small tools inside, making it quite difficult for new users to get accustomed to.
