ERP for Ottawa and the National Capital Region: what to get right

Ottawa businesses sell to the largest customer in the country, operate in two languages, and often have customers and staff on both sides of the Ottawa River. The ERP has to bill the way the Government of Canada pays, and get Ontario and Quebec tax right on the same day.

Ontario HST at 13%, with Gatineau across the river

01

Sales in Ottawa carry 13% HST, but a delivery to Gatineau or a service performed for a client in Hull is a Quebec supply: 5% GST plus 9.975% QST under place-of-supply rules. Many NCR businesses get this wrong for years. Input tax credits on purchases, zero-rated exports to US customers, and the GST/HST return itself all have to come from the ledger. Tellency applies the correct treatment from the customer's province and the place of supply automatically, tracks ITCs, and produces the return as a report.

Billing the Government of Canada the way it pays

02

Federal contracts come with contract and call-up numbers, per-diem and per-unit rates by resource category, and invoices that have to match the call-up exactly or they are returned. Tellency's project and sales modules carry the contract reference and the rate card on the project, bill from approved time and deliverables, and print the reference numbers the department requires on every invoice, so receivables from federal contracts are collected on time.

Kanata technology firms: projects, subscriptions and R&D

03

Ottawa's technology corridor in Kanata mixes professional services, hardware and recurring software revenue. That needs project costing and time billing, inventory for hardware, deferred revenue for subscriptions and maintenance, and project-level cost tracking your accountant can use for SR&ED claims. Tellency handles all of these on one ledger, so revenue recognition, project margin and the R&D cost base come from the same books your accountant closes.

Bilingual documents and Ontario payroll

04

NCR customers expect quotes, invoices and statements in French or English, and federal contracts often require both. Tellency produces documents in the customer's language and runs Ontario payroll with CPP, EI, Ontario income tax, the Employer Health Tax and Employment Standards Act rules on the same ledger as the rest of the business.

07 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions — ERP in Ottawa

How much does ERP software cost for an Ottawa business?
Tellency starts at $79 CAD per user per month, with implementation scoped as a fixed project that includes migration from QuickBooks, Sage or spreadsheets, configuration and bilingual training. Ask every vendor for the all-in cost to go live and the week you will run month-end in the new system.
Does Tellency handle both Ontario HST and Quebec GST/QST for NCR businesses?
Yes. Ottawa sales carry 13% HST and Gatineau supplies receive GST plus QST automatically under place-of-supply rules. Input tax credits are tracked and the returns are produced from the ledger.
Can Tellency invoice federal government contracts?
Yes. Contract and call-up references and per-category rate cards live on the project, invoices are generated from approved time and deliverables, and the required reference numbers print on every invoice.
Does Tellency support Kanata technology companies with subscriptions and projects?
Yes. Project costing and time billing, hardware inventory, deferred revenue for subscriptions and maintenance, and project-level cost tracking your accountant can use for SR&ED claims are handled on one ledger.
Can we produce invoices in French and English?
Yes. Quotes, invoices, statements and reports are available in French and English, selected per customer, and the interface language is chosen per user.
How long does implementation take for an Ottawa business?
One to four weeks for most businesses, including configuration, data migration, team training and a parallel month-end before cut-over. Government-contract billing setups with several rate cards sit at the longer end of that range.
