Mingle. Make new friends. \nRunning a small business often means stitching together many different software tools: Accounting\, CRM\, Email Marketing\, Website\, Spreadsheets\, and more. \nAt first\, this may work. But as the business grows\, these disconnected systems start creating problems: \n\nDuplicate data entry\nDelayed reporting\nMiscommunication between sales\, operations\, and finance\nLimited visibility into what’s actually happening in the business\nToo many logins and subscriptions to manage\n\n  \nIn this hands-on TIGER Tools Workshop\, April Wu\, founder of InSphere Consulting\, will show how growing businesses simplify operations by bringing key functions into one integrated platform\, which also referred to as ERP (enterprise resource planning) system. \nInstead of focusing on theory\, this session will demonstrate real workflows using modern business software that integrates sales\, marketing\, operations\, and collaboration. \nDuring the workshop\, participants will: \n\nLearn how growing companies move beyond disconnected tools\nUnderstand what an integrated business system looks like in actual practice\nGet access to free apps such as CRM\, eSign\, website tools\, and email marketing\nFollow along on their own laptops to explore the tools themselves\n\nAttendees will leave with a practical understanding of how integration can reduce manual work\, improve visibility\, and help businesses scale more smoothly. \nLaptop required:\nThis will be an interactive workshop. Accordingly\, attendees should bring a laptop so they can work along with April during the hands-on portion. \nIdeal for: \n\nSmall business owners and founders\nOperations and finance leaders\nCompanies juggling multiple software tools\nBusinesses looking to streamline operations and improve visibility\n\n*************** \nApril Wu\, MBA\, CPA (inactive) is the founder of InSphere Consulting\, where she helps growing businesses streamline operations and unlock better data for smarter decisions.
