The same platform. Three very different trades.

A beverage agency, a distributor and a manufacturer with field service do not have the same problem. ChannelSnap arrives configured for the one you have, which is most of why implementation takes weeks instead of quarters.

Sound familiar?

  • Supplier commission invoices captured and calculated by hand.
  • LCBO proformas, POs and NTPs managed manually.
  • Inventory, pricing and orders out of step between the office, your POS and Shopify.

Read the detail

Sound familiar?

  • Bills of material maintained in a spreadsheet that drifts from reality.
  • Work orders that do not consume components until someone remembers.
  • True cost per unit unknown, so pricing is a margin guess.
  • Field technicians scheduled by phone with no parts visibility.

Most ERP projects fail on duration, not features. Ours are run by the people who build the product, with a fixed shape and a defined end.

How our services work

  1. Week 1

    Scope and data

    We map your items, customers, suppliers, pricing and open transactions, and agree what comes across and what gets retired.

  2. Week 2

    Configure

    Locations, costing, workflows, permissions, price lists and document templates configured to how you actually trade.

  3. Week 3

    Migrate and integrate

    Historical data loaded, QuickBooks Online and your storefront connected, balances reconciled against your existing system.

  4. Week 4

    Train on real work

    Your team runs live transactions in a parallel environment. Training on your data, not a demo company.

  5. Weeks 5–6

    Go live and settle

    Cutover, hypercare, and the tuning that only surfaces once real volume flows through the system.

Compare with the 6–12 month average for mid-market ERP deployments.
