The "Costco Meets Wirecutter" of B2B for Canadian Businesses

The "Costco Meets Wirecutter" of B2B: Why Canadian Businesses Are Switching to Simply Smart


Running a business in 2025 is expensive enough without your tech vendors adding to the problem.

Most IT providers operate on a markup model: they sell you more hardware than you need, charge thousands for websites you don't own, and lock your customer data behind paywalls.

At Simply Smart Canada (simplysmart.ca), we are flipping the script. We are Canada’s only B2B Tech Curation Firm—built on testing, transparency, and performance-driven results. We don’t just sell tech; we engineer value.

Whether you are in Ottawa, Montreal, or anywhere across Canada, here is why your business needs to stop paying traditional vendor markups and start using the Simply Smart 4S Program.


1. SIMPLY START: The Digital Launchpad (Yes, It’s Actually Free)

The Problem: Agencies charge $5,000+ upfront for a website. Then, platforms like Shopify or Wix hold your data hostage. If you leave, you lose your abandoned carts, your live viewer stats, and your customer history.

The Simply Smart Solution:

We believe every Canadian business deserves a modern digital foundation. We provide:

  • FREE Website & App Setup: No setup fees. No hidden costs.

  • 100% Data Ownership: unlike other builders, you control all your data. Access info on abandoned carts, live viewers, and deep analytics. We never gatekeep your customer insights.

  • Local Delivery Integration: We integrate on-demand delivery (DoorDash/Uber Direct) for just $8–$12 per order—even for large products.

Why do we do it for free?

It’s simple. We want to help you grow. We offer hands-on education so you can manage your site independently. If you eventually want us to handle maintenance, we can work out a monthly deal. If not? You walk away with a premium site and zero strings attached.


2. SIMPLY SHIFT: Don’t Replace. Upgrade.

The Problem: Microsoft tells you your computers are "too old" for Windows 11. You are forced to throw away perfectly good machines and spend thousands on new fleets.

The Simply Smart Solution:

Stop replacing computers just because a software update told you to. Our Simply Shift service focuses on legacy hardware modernization.

  • Windows 11 Force-Upgrades: We upgrade virtually any Windows 10 machine to Windows 11, even "unsupported" ones.

  • Performance Tuning: We don't just update; we strip out bloatware and optimize background processes, making your machines run 5x to 35x faster.

The Cost:

  • Bulk Fleets: As low as $10 per device.

  • Single Workstations: Approx. $50.

This simple shift saves businesses thousands in capital expenditure while drastically reducing e-waste.


3. SIMPLY SOURCE: The "Shared Savings" Procurement Model

The Problem: You waste hours researching tech, only to overpay for brand names or specs you don't use.

The Simply Smart Solution:

We are curators first, retailers second. We spend over 1,000 hours researching and testing devices, offering only the top 10-20 products in each category. But our pricing model is the real game-changer.

How "Shared Savings" Works:

We analyze what you need, find it under budget, and our fee is based on what we save you, not what you spend.

Example:

  • Your Budget: $8,000 for 10 PCs

  • Our Sourcing: $3,000 for better performance hardware

  • Your Total Invoice: $3,000 + a negotiated savings fee (e.g., $500)

  • Total Savings: $4,500

We leverage our vendor network to get bulk pricing, even for smaller orders. You save money, and we earn our keep by being smarter shoppers than the competition.


4. SIMPLY SYNC: Silent Efficiency & Automation

The Problem: You have a CRM, a payroll system, email marketing, and a scheduler—but none of them talk to each other.

The Simply Smart Solution:

We centralize data across 7,000+ apps without you ever needing to touch Zapier or an API. We build "silent efficiency" where your business runs 24/7, even while you sleep.

What We Automate:

  • Sales Flow: Turn a new sale into an invoice, shipping label, CRM entry, and thank-you email automatically.

  • Retention: Automatically trigger re-engagement campaigns for inactive customers.

  • HR: Connect payroll → schedules → attendance instantly.


Why Choose Simply Smart Over Traditional Vendors?

We are building the Costco-meets-Wirecutter of the business world. Here is our promise to you:

  1. Curated "Best Of" Inventory: We don't flood you with choices. We offer pre-vetted hardware known for high ROI and durability.

  2. The SmartSwap™ Guarantee: Bought hardware from us? Trade it in later for up to 80% of its value. It’s the smartest way to cycle technology without losing your investment.

  3. Unbeatable Support: We offer 24/7 support and fast, 1–5 day shipping across Canada.

  4. Sustainability: By upgrading old tech and refurbishing trade-ins, we help you lower your carbon footprint and your expenses simultaneously.

🛡️ The Simply Smart Canada Transparency Report

Before we dive into your questions, let’s clear the air.

If you search for "Simply Smart" in Canada, you might find reviews about 15-year furnace contracts, high-pressure door-to-door sales, and massive loans for water heaters. That is NOT us.

We are Simply Smart Canada (simplysmart.ca)—the original B2B Tech Curation Firm.

  • We don't do furnaces.

  • We don't do 15-year rentals.

  • We don't do high-pressure residential sales.

We are a technology architecture firm for businesses. We specialize in the 4S Program: Start (Digital), Shift (Hardware), Source (Procurement), and Sync (Automation). We are the original tech curators; anyone else using our name in the B2B space is a cheap imitation.


💡 The "No-BS" FAQ: Everything You’re Thinking (But Were Afraid to Ask)

1. "If I want to leave in two years, do I lose my website or app?"

Absolutely not. This is the biggest scam in the agency world. Most firms build your site on "closed" systems they own. If you stop paying their monthly "management fee," they shut your business down.

  • At Simply Smart, you have 100% ownership from Day 1.

  • We build on open, transferable architecture.

  • We don’t even ask for your passwords unless you want us to manage it. You own the code, the domain, and the data.

2. "What are the recurring monthly fees for Simply Start (Free) services?"

Zero. None. Free means free.

We build your website, set up your app, and sync your social inventory for $0.

  • The Catch: There isn't one. We do this to prove our value.

  • The Choice: If you’re too busy to run it yourself, you can choose to pay a maintenance fee for us to do it. If you want to do it yourself? Your bill to us is $0.

3. "Can I really see my abandoned cart data and live viewers?"

Yes. Traditional builders (Shopify, Wix, etc.) often hide this "premium" data behind $300+/month paywalls. We believe your customer data belongs to you. We give you full visibility into:

  • Who is on your site right now.

  • What items were left in carts.

  • Why they didn't check out.

    Other agencies keep this info hostage to make you "dependent" on them. We give it to you to make you "profitable."

4. "I've been burned by 'Long Contracts' before. Do you have them?"

No. We don't believe in trapping people. If our service doesn't make you money or save you time, you shouldn't be paying us. We grow with you. If we build you a free site and it makes you $10k in profit, we’re confident you’ll come to us for your next 50 workstations.

5. "How does the SmartSwap™ 80% Buy-Back actually work?"

This is our exclusive guarantee for hardware purchased from Simply Smart stock.

  • Our Stock: If you buy a PC or device from our curated inventory, we guarantee up to 80% trade-in value within the first year.

  • Sourced Gear: If we use our Simply Source program to find you a deal on Amazon or a liquidator, that item is covered by the original manufacturer. We sometimes buy back sourced gear, but it’s evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

6. "Why would you build a $5,000 website for free?"

Because the "Agency Model" is broken. Agencies charge you $5k for a site and $500/month to "maintain" it (which usually means doing nothing). We would rather give you the foundation for free, prove we are the best in the country, and earn your business when you're ready for Simply Sync (Automation) or Simply Source (Bulk Procurement).

7. "Is 'forcing' Windows 11 onto my old business PCs safe?"

It’s safer than staying on Windows 10. Windows 10 is reaching its end-of-life. Our Simply Shift service doesn't just "force" an update; we perform a deep-level performance tune. We strip out "bloatware" and junk background processes, often making a 5-year-old machine run 5x to 35x faster than the day it was unboxed.

8. "Do I have to deal with overseas call centers?"

Never. We are based in Canada, serving Canada. When you call us, you talk to a curator who knows exactly what it’s like to run a business in this economy.

9. "Can you really automate my business without me touching Automation or AI?"

Yes. That’s our Simply Sync program. Most "automation guys" charge you $200/hour to set up buggy automation links. We engineer a central data flow across 7,000+ apps. You don't touch code. You don't touch APIs. You just wake up to an inbox full of fulfilled orders and updated CRM entries. However, the better YOUR MARKETING TEAM the BETTER our automation works.

10. "What if I’m just starting out and have no budget?"

That is exactly why we created Simply Start. We give you the high-end digital tools you need to get a budget. Once you're profitable, then we talk about the bigger stuff.

11. "How are you different from an IT Support company?"

IT support companies wait for things to break and then charge you to fix them. We are Curators. We engineer your business so things don't break, your hardware lasts longer, and your data is never locked away.

12. "Are you really the 'Only' Tech Curators in Canada?"

Yes. Others might sell you "Managed Services," but they are usually just reselling brand-name markups. We are the only firm that spends 1,000+ hours testing hardware and operates on a Shared Savings model—where we only make money if we save you money. The WIRECUTTER of Canada.
