The Chilliwack Angle

With Chilliwack employers reporting more difficulty filling skilled roles than their urban counterparts, AI-driven scheduling, invoicing and customer-response automation can absorb the back-office workload a hard-to-fill hire would otherwise carry — from a Sardis-area greenhouse's order intake to a Cattermole processor's production scheduling.

Doing business in Chilliwack

Chilliwack farms more land than any other Lower Mainland community — about 67% of the city's 17,322-hectare land base is in agricultural use, and the city's 700-plus dairy, poultry and greenhouse/nursery operations contribute an estimated $700 million to the local economy, close to 29% of all economic activity here. Initiatives like the Chilliwack Farm Story project are pushing that sector toward agritourism and direct-to-consumer sales, but many farms are still trying to run tours, on-site sales and delivery on a phone number and a Facebook page instead of a website that can actually take a booking or a payment.

Downtown Chilliwack — the Yale Road and Young Road core — is home to more than 350 mostly locally owned businesses working through the multi-phase District 1881 redevelopment of the Young/Yale/Princess/Empress site. That's good news for the long-term health of the core, but construction disruption puts real pressure on foot-traffic-dependent shops, as well as businesses out in Central Village along Wellington Avenue and Mill Street and toward Sardis and Vedder Crossing, to keep online ordering, bookings and visibility strong while the physical street changes around them.

That same growth is reshaping Chilliwack's industrial base. More than 25 food and beverage processors already employ close to 600 people around Cattermole Industrial Estates and the Chilliwack Food and Beverage Processing Park, and the arrival of larger operators like Molson Coors is raising the bar on the logistics, scheduling and inventory systems that smaller processors, manufacturers and distributors need just to keep pace. With Cattermole alone offering more than 100 acres of industrial land, the businesses that get their back-office systems right now are the ones positioned to grow into that space.

Chilliwack's economy is growing at a stable rate of roughly 3% a year, and the city ranks in BC's top 10 for investment opportunity — which means fast permitting is also drawing new competitors and national chains into a market long served by small, independently branded operators. At the same time, rural and small-town BC businesses report more difficulty attracting skilled workers than their urban counterparts (54% versus 40%, per CFIB survey data), leaving many Chilliwack employers needing to automate manual scheduling, invoicing and back-office work rather than hire their way through it. That's where we come in.

What we build

For Chilliwack's key industries

Agriculture (dairy, poultry, greenhouse/nursery)

Chilliwack's dairy, poultry and greenhouse/nursery operations sit on about 67% of the city's land base and generate an estimated $700 million a year for the local economy. As initiatives like the Chilliwack Farm Story project push more farms toward agritourism and direct-to-consumer sales, the operations that can take online orders, schedule farm tours and manage seasonal inventory digitally are best placed to capture that demand. We build e-commerce, booking and inventory tools sized for a working farm, not a big-box retailer.

Food and beverage processing

With more than 25 processors employing close to 600 people around Cattermole Industrial Estates and the Chilliwack Food and Beverage Processing Park, this sector is growing fast — and getting more competitive as large entrants like Molson Coors move in. Smaller processors and distributors need production scheduling, inventory tracking and ordering systems that can keep pace without a bigger back office. We build software that lets a lean processing team run tighter, not just work longer hours.

Manufacturing (metal fabrication, machinery, transportation equipment)

Chilliwack's metal fabrication, machinery and transportation equipment manufacturers are competing for space and skilled labour in a city that ranks in BC's top 10 for investment. When new hires are hard to find, the fastest win is often automating the paperwork around production — quoting, work orders, inventory and invoicing — so existing crews spend less time on admin. We design internal tools and customer-facing sites that fit how a Chilliwack shop floor actually runs.

Distribution and logistics

As Chilliwack's food and beverage processing cluster grows around Cattermole Industrial Estates and the Processing Park, the distributors and logistics operators that serve it face more pressure to coordinate scheduling, inventory and order tracking with new, larger accounts. We build dispatch, inventory and customer-ordering systems that connect the back office to the road, so a growing distribution business can take on bigger accounts without losing track of a smaller one.

Tourism and agritourism

Chilliwack's agricultural strength is turning into a tourism opportunity, as projects like the Chilliwack Farm Story push local farms toward hosting visitors and selling direct. Many of those operations are still running bookings by phone or Facebook message. We build simple, mobile-friendly booking and online store sites for farm tours, agritourism visits and direct-to-consumer sales, so a Sardis or Vedder Crossing-area operation can take a reservation or a payment as easily as a big-city attraction can.

How we help

Built for Chilliwack businesses

Booking & Online Ordering Systems

Downtown Chilliwack's 350+ mostly locally owned businesses are working through the multi-phase District 1881 redevelopment, and foot traffic near construction is disrupted. We build fast, mobile-first ordering and booking systems so customers can find you, order ahead and book a visit online no matter what the street outside looks like.

Farm E-Commerce & Tour Booking

Chilliwack's 700+ dairy, poultry and greenhouse/nursery farms are being pushed toward agritourism and direct-to-consumer sales through initiatives like the Chilliwack Farm Story project, but many still lack e-commerce or tour-booking tools. We build online stores and booking pages built around a working farm's schedule and product line.

Inventory & Production Scheduling

With more than 25 processors around Cattermole Industrial Estates and the Chilliwack Food and Beverage Processing Park, and larger entrants like Molson Coors raising the bar, coordination and scheduling strain is real. We build inventory and production-scheduling systems that keep smaller processors and manufacturers coordinated as they scale.

Back-Office Automation

Rural and small-town BC businesses report more difficulty attracting skilled workers than urban businesses (54% vs 40%, per CFIB survey data), leaving labour-constrained Chilliwack employers needing to automate manual scheduling, invoicing and back-office work instead of hiring. We build the automation that takes that work off your plate.

Website & Brand Refresh

Chilliwack's fast permit and approval times and top-10 BC investment ranking are drawing new competitors and national chains into a market historically served by small, independently branded operators with dated websites. We modernize your site and online identity so you compete on more than just a longer history in town.

Serving businesses across Downtown Chilliwack (Yale Road/Young Road core, the 'District 1881' redevelopment site), Central Village (Wellington Avenue and Mill Street), Sardis / Vedder Crossing (Vedder Road and Promontory Road), Cattermole Industrial Estates, Chilliwack Food and Beverage Processing Park.

Chilliwack questions, answered

Yes. When foot traffic near Yale Road and Young Road is disrupted by a multi-phase redevelopment like District 1881, your online presence has to do more of the work your storefront normally does — showing up when people search, taking orders or bookings directly, and making it obvious you're open. That's exactly what we build for downtown Chilliwack's mostly locally owned businesses.

We build for farms specifically. With agriculture covering about 67% of Chilliwack's land base and initiatives like the Chilliwack Farm Story project encouraging more farms into agritourism and direct sales, we design e-commerce, tour-booking and inventory tools sized for a working farm's schedule and product mix, not a generic retail template.

That's a core focus for us. With more than 25 processors and close to 600 employees already working around Cattermole Industrial Estates and the Chilliwack Food and Beverage Processing Park — and larger entrants like Molson Coors raising expectations on logistics — we build production scheduling and inventory systems built for how a processing floor actually runs.

It won't replace people, but it can take manual scheduling, invoicing and back-office work off their plates. CFIB survey data shows rural and small-town BC businesses report more difficulty attracting skilled workers than urban businesses (54% vs 40%), and for many Chilliwack employers, automating that admin work is faster than filling an open role.

Chilliwack's fast permitting and top-10 BC investment ranking are drawing more national competition into a market that's historically been served by small, independently owned operators. A modern, well-built website and the automation to back it up is one of the most direct ways to close that gap without matching a chain's marketing budget.
