Yes. 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. BC is one hour behind Alberta, so the working days overlap almost entirely, and a good build is shaped by your workflows and BC's rules, not by where the developers sit. The questions worth asking are about privacy, tax, data location and support, and each has a clear answer.
Time Zones and Working Days
British Columbia is one hour behind Alberta. A 9 a.m. call in Vancouver is 10 a.m. in Edmonton, so a full BC working day sits inside an Alberta one. Calls are booked in your local time, and the systems themselves are available around the clock.
BC Rules the Software Has to Know
The rules that shape BC business software are specific and public. A team building for you should already know them:
None of these depend on where the developer lives. They depend on whether the team asks the right questions in discovery and builds the answers into the system.
- Sales tax: 5% GST plus 7% PST on taxable goods and services, per the Canada Revenue Agency and the Government of BC, versus no PST in Alberta
- Safety: WorkSafeBC requires employers to report a worker's injury or illness within 72 hours of becoming aware of it
- Privacy: the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for BC explains that the Personal Information Protection Act applies to private-sector organizations in the province
- Home building: BC Housing requires 2-5-10 home warranty insurance on new homes built by licensed residential builders
Where Your Data Lives
Ask any software firm where your data will be hosted, who can access it and how you get it back. With AltaPro AI, hosting and access are agreed before engineering starts, hosting in Canada is available when your business needs it, and under every ownership model your data stays yours and your records stay exportable. The models are set out at /ownership.
Every system also includes AltaGate, described at /altagate, which keeps AI working from your own records, holds anything customer-facing until a person signs off and records an audit trail.
How Delivery Works: On Site, Then Over Video
Discovery happens at your business, walking through the work and the tools and spreadsheets your team uses now. Between visits you see working software early and at every phase over video, and training is recorded so new staff can watch it later. At go-live we are on site with your team for the first real jobs, and support afterwards runs through phone, email and screen-share, the same way for every client.
The Proof Comes From Alberta Builds
Our production work is for Alberta operators: a quoting platform that took an Edmonton landscaping company from about four hours to under 20 minutes per quote, bid intelligence that took a demolition contractor's bid prep from two or three hours to minutes, and one back-office system for a general contractor in Edmonton and Calgary (all client-reported). The case studies are at /case-studies.
The same delivery model, on site for discovery and go-live and over video between visits, serves BC. Our BC pages include /ai-automation-vancouver, /ai-automation-victoria, /ai-automation-kelowna, /ai-automation-abbotsford, /ai-automation-nanaimo and /ai-automation-kamloops, and the four-province overview is at /western-canada.
