Here's your chance to join one of Toronto's fastest-growing technology companies!

We're cultivating a supportive and inclusive technology team that works remote-first and is building an excellent product.

What Our Software Does:
Statflo provides a one-to-one outreach platform for front-line staff in retail and other sectors to build authentic relationships with their customers. Statflo's platform is deployed in thousands of stores and corporate headquarters in North America.

Why It Matters:
Millions of retail workers are handed a broom, or they're left unsupervised, during the eight hours they are idle each week. We challenge this status quo by empowering them to increase sales themselves and ultimately make more money. Countless retail customers want a better customer experience, with personal, proactive, and timely service. With Statflo, service of this caliber is right in the palm of their hands.
