Custom Software Development Richmond
AltaPro AI is an Edmonton-based software development company that comes on site for discovery and go-live in Richmond, BC. For the logistics, warehousing, food and trades businesses that work around the airport and the river, that ranges from a scoped automation — order intake that reads itself, quotes priced from your own rates — up to a full custom system we build, deploy, and run.
What Software Do Richmond Logistics and Warehousing Businesses Need?
Richmond logistics, warehousing and distribution businesses usually need one record for every shipment: orders and bookings in, dock and delivery scheduling, proof of delivery, and invoicing from completed work, connected to the carrier, customer and accounting systems already in use. AltaPro AI builds that custom software. We come to you. AltaPro AI is based in Edmonton and comes on site for discovery and go-live, wherever your business is. Between visits, the work runs over video, phone and screen-share.

We Come to Richmond.
We come to you. AltaPro AI is based in Edmonton and comes on site for discovery and go-live, wherever your business is. Between visits, the work runs over video, phone and screen-share. In Richmond, discovery means walking the dock, the yard and the dispatch desk with the people who run them, and go-live means being there when your team switches over.
Richmond is home to Vancouver International Airport, and the City's own economic development office describes it as a major West Coast hub for intermodal transportation and distribution, with Port of Vancouver property inside city limits (City of Richmond). Logistics, aviation, agrifoods and manufacturing are all on the City's list of key sectors: businesses whose day is decided by where a shipment is and who has the paperwork. That is the work custom software does best — one record per order, scheduling the whole yard can see, and the integrations that stop a load being typed in three places.

Four Systems Built forRichmond Operators.
Freight forwarders, warehouses and distributors, food producers and the trades that keep the industrial lands running. If your stock moves through a warehouse, see how we approach wholesale distribution software.
01
Operational Software
Orders, bookings, dock times, deliveries and customer records in one system, so the answer to "where is it?" is on screen instead of in someone's inbox.
02
Quoting & Document Workflows
Rate quotes, bills of lading and delivery paperwork generated from your own rate card and the job record, consistent no matter who on the team prepares them.
03
Systems Integration
Carrier portals, customer systems, the warehouse spreadsheet and the accounting package connected, so a shipment entered once is correct everywhere it needs to be.
04
Applied AI & Automation
Reading order detail out of emailed PDFs and customer files, drafting status replies, and routing requests to the right desk, with a person approving anything that reaches a customer.
The Track Record Crosses the Rockies.
AltaPro AI built the systems below for Alberta businesses. An Edmonton landscaping company took quoting from four hours down to under twenty minutes. An Alberta demolition contractor cut bid submissions from two or three hours to minutes. A general contractor replaced five back-office tools with a single system. The figures are client-reported, and the builds run in the cloud — exactly how we'd run yours in Richmond. Put your own numbers through the ROI calculator — it's free.

Custom Software Development in Richmond, Answered.
Richmond owners ask AltaPro AI what software a logistics or warehousing operation actually needs, whether it can sit on top of the systems they already run, and how a company based in Edmonton works with them on site. The answers below cover all three, along with cost and build timelines. These are the same answers you would get on a call at 587-937-6948.
Where Is AltaPro AI Based, and How Do You Serve Richmond?
We come to you. AltaPro AI is based in Edmonton and comes on site for discovery and go-live, wherever your business is. Between visits, the work runs over video, phone and screen-share. Everything we build is cloud software, so your team uses it in a browser wherever the work happens — and BC is one time zone over, so working hours line up.
What Software Do Richmond Logistics and Warehousing Companies Need?
Usually one record for every shipment: the order or booking coming in, dock and delivery scheduling, proof of delivery with photos and signatures, and invoicing straight from completed work. Around that sit the integrations — carrier and customer systems, the warehouse file and the accounting package — so nobody retypes a load. AltaPro AI builds that as custom software around how your operation already moves freight.
Can You Connect the Systems We Already Run?
Yes. Most Richmond operators already run an accounting package, a few customer or carrier portals and at least one spreadsheet that holds the real schedule. We keep what works and build the handoffs between them, with each field owned by one system and a failed sync flagging itself the day it happens. Your data stays yours.
What Does Custom Software Development Cost in Richmond?
Scope drives price. A focused first phase is a much smaller build than a full operational platform, so we quote per project rather than publishing a flat rate — and our pricing is set in Edmonton, not Metro Vancouver. The 30-minute call is free: we map your operation and give you a rough cost range. The exact cost and timeline come in our $900 Blueprint, credited in full if you build with us.
How Long Does a Build Take?
Scope drives the timeline, and a focused first phase is far smaller than a full platform. Larger builds are phased so you get working software early instead of waiting for one big launch. The free 30-minute call gives you a realistic range, and the Blueprint sets the exact timeline.
