01 — Local economy
Business in Surrey, BC
Fraser Surrey Docks on the Fraser River and the industrial lands of Campbell Heights and Port Kells make the city a major freight, trucking and warehousing base for the Port of Vancouver. Berry farms and food processors work the surrounding agricultural land, homebuilders and trades firms are expanding with the population, and Surrey Memorial Hospital is among the largest employers.
Where software helps: Surrey's drayage carriers and warehouses serving the Port of Vancouver juggle container appointments, chassis and storage charges, and per-move billing to many importers, which separate dispatch and accounting tools struggle to reconcile.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Surrey, BC: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Surrey, BC?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Surrey; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Surrey, BC and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 13 h 30 min ahead of Surrey, BC on standard time, and 12 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 22:30 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 British Columbia sales tax?
Yes. Invoicing handles British Columbia sales tax (GST 5% + PST 7%) 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 and Punjabi?
Yes. Current language models handle English and Punjabi 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 logistics business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For logistics & ports that is often job & shipment costing and warehouse management (bins, put-away, picking). It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
