VFP9 or VB.NET Developer @ TSI Systemgroup - Hybrid
The Mission: Legacy Meets Next-Gen Cloud
At TSI Systemgroup, we don’t just build software; we build the backbone of medium-sized entrepreneurial businesses across North America. Our flagship product, TRIFORCE.NET, is a 100% Canadian-made Enterprise Management System that empowers diverse verticals. We cater to entrepreneurial SMBs that require maximum flexibility by supporting distributors, manufacturers (both process and discrete), importers, and service organizations, with internal users ranging from 5 to 100+. Our options include our Warehouse Management System and 3PL integration, robotic process automation, EDI and all forms of electronic commerce, not least our hugely successful multi-tenant Mi-AMIGO B2B Portal.
We’ve been at this since the early 1980s, evolving a single, highly engineered codebase that ensures no client is ever left behind. Now, we’re at a turning point. As we transition our client base to a cloud-based subscription model and gear up for an aggressive marketing push, we need a visionary developer to take the torch.
