What you can expect from us

The best fit for your business

Our mission has always been to deliver the solution that fits. We’ll recommend what suits your business, and we’ll tell you when something doesn’t. Customizations are often added to the standard product at no charge.

Industry specialists

The people who sell, install and support our products know the industry. Our sales reps come from the industries they serve, and our support people know a parts counter from the inside.

Quick decisions

We’re small enough that you can talk to the people who make the call. No layers of resellers between you and the team that builds the software.

One vendor

Software, catalogue, analytics, delivery, shelf labels, phones, hosting and IT, all from us. You’re never stuck between vendors arguing over whose problem it is.

Canadian roots

Built, hosted and supported in Canada. When you call for help, you reach our own team in Burnaby, BC, people who work with Canadian stores every day.

In it for the long run

More than 50 years in business, with long-serving staff working alongside younger technology specialists.
