Question 1

What does Opie Consulting build?

Accepted Answer

Portals and web apps, booking and payment systems, AI that reads and sorts enquiries, automation between the tools you already use, websites, and go-to-market systems. Every one is built around how your business already works.

Question 2

Who is a good fit?

Accepted Answer

Small and growing businesses, usually 2 to 100 people, where the team is losing hours every week to spreadsheets, copy and paste, and chasing information. We've worked in property management, childcare, education, retail, cleaning, engineering and energy.

Question 3

Where are you, and do you work outside BC?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Kelowna, BC and work with clients across Canada, remotely or on site in the Okanagan.

Question 4

What happens on the free audit call?

Accepted Answer

In 30 minutes we learn how the work runs today, find the jobs your team repeats every week, and tell you what's worth automating first. You leave with a short written plan, whether you hire us or not.

Question 5

How long does a project take?

Accepted Answer

Most projects launch in 4 to 8 weeks. Larger systems take 8 to 16 weeks. You see working software every week along the way.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The audit is free. Fixed-price website and Google packages start at $299. Custom automation starts at $1,500, and larger custom systems are usually from $7,500. Every price is confirmed in writing before work starts.

Question 7

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

Usually a deposit to start, then milestones or monthly instalments, with an optional monthly care plan after launch. Cards and bank payments are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your card details.

Question 8

Can you work with the tools we already use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We connect with tools like QuickBooks, Stripe, Square, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Outlook, HubSpot and Slack, and keep what's working.

Question 9

Who owns the system and the data?

Accepted Answer

You do. Your data stays in your accounts and can be exported any time.

Question 10

Is the AI safe to use with customers?

Accepted Answer

AI does the first pass on reading and sorting, follows rules you approve, and hands anything important to a person. It never makes payments or commitments on its own.

Question 11

What support do we get after launch?

Accepted Answer

We train your team and move your data. Most clients keep a monthly care plan for fixes, changes and new ideas. Our HQ also checks your app for errors every day, so we often spot problems before you do.

Question 12

What if something breaks?

Accepted Answer

Send it through your private support link or email us. Requests are triaged the same day and you can follow the status online.
