05 — FAQ
Custom software in Portland, OR: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Portland, OR?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Portland; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Portland, OR and Jaipur?

Can a custom ERP handle Oregon sales tax?
Yes. Invoicing handles Oregon sales tax (No general sales tax) 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, Spanish and Vietnamese?
Yes. Current language models handle English, Spanish and Vietnamese 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 electronics business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For electronics & electricals that is often bOMs with alternate parts and reel, lot & serial tracking. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
