Odoo for Retail in Calgary

Point of Sale, eCommerce, inventory, and loyalty — unified for Calgary retailers and Alberta multi-location stores.

You’re running Shopify for online, Square for in-store, QuickBooks for the books, and a spreadsheet for inventory. Solvync replaces all four with one Odoo platform so every sale, every customer, every stock-out is reconciled automatically.

What’s slowing down Retail & eCommerce in Calgary today

Five problems we hear in every discovery call — and how Odoo fixes them.

Online + in-store inventory drift

Same product sold online and in the Beltline location. Stock counts diverge weekly. You promise items you don’t have, refund the customer, and lose the sale.

Customer data trapped per channel

Shopify has the email list. Square has the in-store buyer history. The loyalty app has the points. None of them talk. Marketing has no clue who your top 100 customers actually are.

End-of-day reconciliation nightmare

Cash drawer, debit/credit slips, e-transfers, gift cards. Manager spends 90 minutes after close trying to balance to QuickBooks. One missed receipt = a 2-hour hunt.

Multi-location reporting takes a week

Two stores in Calgary, one in Cochrane. Want this week’s top-selling SKU across all three? Pull three reports, paste into Excel, hope the dates align.

Returns + exchanges break things

Item bought online, returned in-store. Inventory counts wrong, refund issued from the wrong account, sales tax miscalculated. Refund queue grows; staff dread it.

Frequently asked questions

Can Odoo replace Shopify for our online store?
Yes. Odoo eCommerce is a full Shopify alternative with one major advantage: native inventory + accounting + CRM under the same roof. The trade-off: Shopify has a richer 3rd-party app ecosystem. For Calgary retailers running 1-3 locations + online, Odoo typically wins on cost and integration. For 10+ locations or specialty Shopify apps, we’ve recommended hybrid setups.
How does the in-store POS handle Canadian payment processing?
Odoo POS integrates with Stripe Terminal, Square, Moneris, and Global Payments — the dominant card processors in Canada. We configure your existing merchant account during implementation. Debit + credit + tap + Apple/Google Pay all supported.
Can it handle GST + PST + sales tax across provinces?
Yes. Odoo’s Canadian tax engine auto-applies GST 5% in Alberta, GST + PST in BC/Saskatchewan/Manitoba, HST in Ontario/Atlantic, and zero-rated for out-of-Canada shipments. Tax rules update automatically when CRA announces changes.
How long is implementation for a 3-location Calgary retailer?
Typical timeline: 10-14 weeks. Two weeks of scoping + product data cleanup, four weeks of build + parallel testing, two weeks of staff training, then a quiet-weekend cutover. Online + in-store launch together.
Do we lose our existing customer data in the migration?
No. We migrate Shopify customer profiles, Square purchase history, and any loyalty-program data into Odoo CRM with order history intact. Email lists transfer cleanly. Loyalty points balances are preserved.
What does it cost for a 3-location retailer doing $3M/year?
Typical implementation: $30,000-$55,000 one-time. Odoo licensing: about CA$8,000-$15,000/year for 8-15 users including POS terminals. Compare to Shopify Plus + accounting + inventory tools: typically $40,000-$60,000/year recurring. Odoo payback inside 18 months.
