Car Pooling – Avego
Have you ever thought about carpooling to work? If so, consider the Avego app. Why should you have to drive to work alone every day?

This app also allows drivers and users to view the number of empty seats that are
available. The cost is split between the drivers and the riders saving everyone money.
Saving Fuel Costs – Fuel Saver
Another way to save money for your business is through the Fuel Saver app. This app is great for employees using company cars and for your own personal car.

This app will help you save money on gas and on your brakes.
Business Cards – GreenCard
How many business cards do you give out for your company? How much do they cost to get printed?
