Barrie: Digital Tools, Software & Apps to Manage Your Small Business

This workshop is a free IN-PERSON event for small businesses in Barrie.

From accounting to scheduling, file sharing to project management, there are digital tools to help with every aspect of running a small business. Knowing which ones are right for you can be a challenge though. This beginner-level workshop will help you learn what’s out there to help you manage with efficiency and ease.

You’ll learn:

• What the most efficient, cost-effective apps are available for:
• Bookkeeping, invoicing, accounting
• Productivity and time management
• Project Management
• Communications
• Client and customer relationship management
• File storage and sharing
• Scheduling and calendar management
• How best to evaluate software and apps for running your small business
• How different apps work together (or in some cases, they don’t! We’ll go over how to know)
• Which software and apps are worth paying for, and which have a free or low-cost alternative

Laptop computers aren’t absolutely necessary for this class, but we recommend bringing a laptop to follow along.

This workshop is a mask-friendly event. Masks are not absolutely required, but we encourage all participants to wear a face mask for their own safety, and the safety of the instructor and workshop organizers.
