01 — Local economy
Business in Cleveland, OH
Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals make healthcare the largest source of jobs, and the clinic's main campus has seeded medical-device and health-IT startups along the Health-Tech Corridor. Industry remains strong too: Sherwin-Williams, Parker Hannifin, Cleveland-Cliffs and Lincoln Electric are headquartered locally, Cleveland-Cliffs runs a steel mill on the Cuyahoga River, and KeyCorp and Progressive anchor finance and insurance.
Also known as CLE.
Where software helps: Coatings, fastener and fluid-power distributors here carry large SKU catalogues with customer-specific pricing and rebates from manufacturers, which makes margin tracking and rebate claims hard without a system built for distribution.
ERP and AI for healthcare, engineering and steel businesses in Cleveland, OH
What we would build first for the industries Cleveland is known for.
Healthcare
ERP
Pharmacy and consumables inventory with batch and expiry, procurement across departments or branches, and billing that works with insurers and corporate tie-ups.
AI agent
An appointment and enquiry agent that books, reschedules and answers routine questions on WhatsApp or the web, and never gives medical advice.
Make-to-order and engineer-to-order projects tracked from enquiry to commissioning, with multi-level bills of materials, drawing revisions, subcontracted machining and spare-parts sales in one system.
AI agent
A spares assistant that identifies parts from a photo or serial number, checks stock and price, and answers dealer and customer queries on WhatsApp or email.
Stock by grade, size, thickness and warehouse; weight-based pricing with cutting and loading charges; part-load dispatch; and credit limits checked before an order is confirmed. This is the problem our own SteelERP product was built to solve.
AI agent
A quoting agent that reads enquiries from WhatsApp or email (“20 tonnes TMT 12 mm, delivery Thursday”), checks free stock and the day's rate, and drafts the quotation for a salesperson to send.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Cleveland, OH: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Cleveland, OH?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Cleveland; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Cleveland, OH and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 10 h 30 min ahead of Cleveland, OH 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 Ohio sales tax?
Yes. Invoicing handles Ohio sales tax (5.75% state rate plus county and transit taxes) and the other states where you have nexus. If you or your customers want it, a custom ERP can connect to DBNAlliance through an accredited provider.
Can your AI agents talk to customers in English and Spanish?
Yes. Current language models handle English and Spanish 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 healthcare business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For healthcare that is often pharmacy & consumables inventory and multi-branch procurement. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
