I'm honestly surprised no one has said it yet, but you shouldn't be thinking about tools at this stage. You should start on Monday and see what they are using, identify where it's not working and propose a solution.

It's simply to early to think about the solution at this stage.

(With that said I manage a remote team and we use kanban on trello, heroku and slack. We only meet as needed)

Second this. More than once I've heard that the best thing a new director can do is learn the current state of things for the first six months. Coming into a team as a new leader and changing things without learning about the team first isn't a good idea. Don't come up with fixes for imaginary, or the wrong, problems.
