01 — Local economy

Business in Calgary

Head offices of Canada's largest oil and pipeline companies, including Suncor, Cenovus, Imperial and TC Energy, fill downtown towers, supported by engineering, geoscience and oilfield-service firms. CPKC railway and WestJet are also based here, rail-served distribution centres supply western Canada, and ranching and meat processing across southern Alberta tie the city to agriculture.

Where software helps: Calgary's oilfield-service and equipment-rental firms bill operators by day rate, field ticket and AFE code, and must reconcile crew time, mileage and parts across remote sites before invoices are approved.

04 — Working together

Working with Jaipur from Calgary

Jaipur is 12 h 30 min ahead of Calgary on standard time, and 11 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 21:30 in Jaipur. Office hours don't overlap, so we fix one call slot at the edge of the day and work asynchronously in between.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Calgary: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Calgary?

Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Calgary; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.

How do time zones work between Calgary and Jaipur?

Jaipur is 12 h 30 min ahead of Calgary on standard time, and 11 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 21:30 in Jaipur. Office hours don't overlap, so we fix one call slot at the edge of the day and work asynchronously in between.

Can a custom ERP handle Alberta sales tax?

Yes. Invoicing handles Alberta sales tax (GST 5% (no provincial sales tax)) alongside federal GST. A custom ERP produces compliant invoices and tax reports, and we keep the rules updated as they change.

What would a first project look like for a energy business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For energy, oil & gas that is often project & contract costing and asset and equipment register. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
