Your retail systems should work together.
Calgary retailers are managing more technology than ever — but most of it does not talk to each other. The result is manual work, inventory errors, and a back-office that is always playing catch-up.
Inventory you cannot trust
Your POS says you have 12 units. Your warehouse count says 7. Your e-commerce site just sold 3 more. Disconnected systems create inventory chaos that leads to overselling, stockouts, and unhappy customers.
Different systems for every channel
In-store POS, online store, and marketplace sales all in separate systems with separate reporting. Getting a true picture of your business means manually consolidating data from three places. There is a better way.
Multiple vendors, zero accountability
Your POS vendor blames the payment processor. The payment processor blames the network. The network points to the hardware. When your system goes down at 11am on a Saturday, nobody owns the problem. AltaCom is your single point of contact for your entire retail technology stack.

Common questions
Retail Solutions FAQs
AltaCom implements and manages the full retail technology stack for Calgary businesses — point of sale systems, inventory management, payment processing, customer loyalty programs, e-commerce platforms, and the IT infrastructure (networking, security, hardware) that runs everything. We also integrate these systems with accounting software and ERP so your back-office data is always accurate and up to date.
AltaCom is vendor-agnostic on POS systems. We work with a range of leading platforms including Lightspeed, Square for Retail, Shopify POS, and others depending on the client's industry, number of locations, and integration requirements. We evaluate options based on your specific needs — not on vendor relationships — and manage the full implementation, staff training, and ongoing support.
Yes. Manual reconciliation between your POS and accounting system is one of the most common pain points for Calgary retailers. AltaCom integrates POS systems with QuickBooks, Sage, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 so sales, refunds, and inventory adjustments post automatically to your books. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and gives you real-time financial visibility without waiting for a manual export.
Yes. Multi-location retail introduces complexity in inventory management, reporting, staff management, and IT infrastructure. AltaCom designs centralized retail technology solutions that give you unified visibility across all locations while maintaining the flexibility for location-specific configurations. We also manage the networking and security infrastructure across all your sites.
POS downtime during business hours is expensive and stressful. AltaCom builds redundancy into every retail implementation — offline mode capability so transactions continue without internet, redundant network connections for critical retail environments, and a direct support line to AltaCom technicians who know your setup. Our managed retail clients receive priority response times so a POS issue gets resolved in minutes, not hours.
