01 — Local economy
Business in Vancouver
Canada's largest port moves coal, grain, potash and containers between the prairies and Asia, supporting a dense network of customs brokers, freight forwarders and warehouses across the Lower Mainland. Film and television production, visual-effects houses and game developers such as Electronic Arts form a large creative sector, while real estate, construction and tourism round out the economy.
Where software helps: Vancouver importers and distributors face container dwell charges, customs brokerage fees and BC PST alongside GST on every sale, so landed-cost calculation and tax-correct invoicing across channels are constant headaches.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Vancouver: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Vancouver?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Vancouver; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Vancouver and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 13 h 30 min ahead of Vancouver 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, Mandarin and Cantonese?
Yes. Current language models handle English, Mandarin and Cantonese 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.
