05 — FAQ
Custom software in Richmond, VA: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Richmond, VA?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Richmond; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Richmond, VA and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 10 h 30 min ahead of Richmond, VA 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 Virginia sales tax?
Yes. Invoicing handles Virginia sales tax (5.3% statewide (4.3% state plus 1% local) plus regional add-ons in some areas) 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 financial services business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For financial services & fintech that is often onboarding & KYC workflows and loan and policy lifecycle. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
