01 — Local economy
Business in Markham
IBM Canada's headquarters and AMD's graphics-chip campus, built on the former ATI Technologies, anchor a dense cluster of technology firms along Highways 404 and 407. Insurers' regional offices, many small software and electronics companies, and a large Chinese-Canadian business community running import, distribution and retail firms make up much of the rest of the business base.
Where software helps: Markham's electronics distributors and import firms buy in US dollars or yuan and sell in Canadian dollars, so landed-cost tracking, serial-number stock and HST-correct invoicing across channels are daily challenges.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Markham: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Markham?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Markham; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Markham and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 10 h 30 min ahead of Markham on standard time, and 9 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 19:30 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 Ontario sales tax?
Yes. Invoicing handles Ontario sales tax (HST 13%) alongside federal GST. A custom ERP produces compliant invoices and tax reports, and we keep the rules updated as they change.
Can your AI agents talk to customers in English, Cantonese and Mandarin?
Yes. Current language models handle English, Cantonese and Mandarin well, including mixed-language messages. We still test an agent in each language your customers use before it goes live, and route anything it is unsure about to your team.
What would a first project look like for a technology business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For technology & startups that is often subscription billing and project & time tracking. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
