For several years now, Zapier — which rhymes with “happier” — has been tracking the fastest growing work apps out there.

Zapier should know: It helps users connect the online tools they use the most together so they work together seamlessly.  This all-remote company now has 1,500 app integrations and 4 million users.

This time around, several emerging tools have popped up, all that have a particular use in a specific industry. For instance, this list includes tools made especially for real estate agents, freelancers, marketers, and more.

“We’ve seen a bit of a shift from these one-size fits-all suites to folks finding very specific tools that sort of fit their needs,” Wade Foster, CEO and co-founder of Zapier, told Business Insider. “A lot of these tools become popular because they are really good at solving specific problems. The one-size-fits-all suites get watered down. The workforce wants to have tools that meet the specific needs.”

Foster also sees more industries taking to tools that help them automate common, tedious tasks, such as sending outreach emails or making phone calls.

According to the survey, 83% of employees use three or more apps for automation, and over three-quarters of customers would list automation as a skill in their resume or job application.

“It’s been fascinating to see how a segment of the workforce has identified automation as a trend to help them be more successful on the job,” Foster said.
