What Our Clients Say
Helios was very helpful in migrating our store data to Shopify! They handled an enormous database of messy data with very minor hiccups and got us up and running when another migration partner couldn't. Highly recommend!
At Snow Valley Spas, we recently encountered complex challenges with our Shopify app integration. Mohammad stepped in and handled our queries with the utmost professionalism, speed, and expertise. He deeply understood our technical issues and guided us to a seamless resolution, ensuring our online store experienced zero downtime.
The only good name which comes to mind when it comes to IT services is Helios. Helios helped us make our firm CRM System. The owner Mr Nith N is a dynamic personality and work with you in every aspect. He is always available to answer any questions or feedback.
Nith and his team of diligent employees go above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition when migrating platforms over to Shopify and are quick, responsive and personable when navigating support inquiries. If your looking for real people who really care about supporting your business, Helios is the way to go!
Helios migrated our point of sale from Lightspeed over to Shopify and moved every one of our customers with it without losing a thing. They also built a custom coded app for our POS, and it came out exactly the way I asked for it, no explaining myself twice.
Amazing service! Fixed all of our network issues and installed a flawless system to support our business needs. Would highly recommend.
Helped us migrate 10,000+ products and thousands of customer records from Lightspeed to Shopify and did a great job. Everything was transferred quickly and efficiently, and they were responsive over email to help with everything else we had to do.
Helios transitioned us from a Physical and Cloud based solution to a Microsoft solution that has saved my company thousands and thousands of dollars monthly. I highly recommend you get in contact, have them review all of your current IT products/services, and let them provide you a solution.
Helios is a very professional and proficient company in their knowledge of Shopify POS. Alimrani Mohammad is the dedicated engineer to our Shopify Pos migration project. So glad it is one person the entire process since it is so involved. He is patient, knowledgeable, and proactive in making my point-of-sale transition successful.
The team @ Helios did an amazing job doing a multiple site POS installation at a Canadian retailer where everything went very smoothly. I highly recommend working with Helios & team!
Office Move IT Questions, Answered
How early should we plan IT for an office move?
As soon as the lease is signed. Internet installs and cabling often need weeks of lead time, so starting early avoids a move-in day without a connection.
Do you work with our contractor and landlord?
Yes. We coordinate cabling and equipment locations with your contractor and check building requirements with the landlord.
Can you move our servers and printers?
Yes. We disconnect, label, move and reconnect computers, printers, servers and phones, then test them in the new space.
Can the move happen over a weekend?
Often, yes. Scheduling equipment moves outside business hours keeps downtime to a minimum; we'll confirm what's possible during planning.
Can you set up cameras and door access in the new office?
Yes. We install security cameras and access control as part of the move. See our security and surveillance services.
Should we replace old computers during the move?
It's a good time to. New machines can be set up in the new office ahead of time; see our PC replacement page.
