We build software around how your business works.

You understand your business better than anyone. We understand how to build software around it. Good things happen when those two things meet.

What we build

From internal automation to market-facing products, here is where we spend most of our time.

Automations and AI

Connect your systems, cut the manual work out of your operation, and build workflows that run without your team having to run them.

Product Development

Build market-ready software, SaaS platforms, and digital products with a team that thinks about your business past the feature list.

Web Development

Websites and web applications built and maintained properly, by people who understand what properly actually means.

We take on new builds and rescues

Some clients come to us with clear requirements and a timeline. Others come with something broken, half-finished, or outgrown. We do both. If your project has a complicated history, that is not a problem for us.

Some of the best projects we have worked on started with a codebase left behind by a team that did not finish the job. We are not scared of that situation. We have been in it enough times to have a real process for assessing what is there, what is worth keeping, and what needs to go.

Whether you are starting from scratch or starting over, the conversation begins the same way: tell us what is not working.

CASE STUDY

A system that replaced 17 part-time engineers

A national manufacturer of engineered structural components was running a process that required 17 part-time engineers every summer just to keep up with demand. The work was manual end to end: engineers pulled data from an ERP, several custom databases, and SharePoint, then built AutoCAD drawings by hand for every single job.

We built a system that centralized all of that data and automated the entire process. That included a custom job runner that starts a single AutoCAD instance and runs pre-built scripts to generate all drawings automatically, organized and filed without anyone touching them.

When we came back to discuss phase two, we mentioned we should probably talk about ROI. They laughed as they said system had already replaced the equivalent of 17 part-time engineers doing repetitive and menial work.

The project cost approximately $25,000 in development time.

Technologies: PHP, Laravel, MySQL, Microsoft 365, SAML authentication, AutoCAD automation, Linux job queuing

CASE STUDY

An ERP that fits the way they actually work

A specialty trade contractor with decades in business was looking at a third-party ERP that would have cost $200 per user per month. It was built on a popular open source platform and heavily marked up by a vendor who was not willing to bend it to how the business actually ran.

We implemented the same underlying open source ERP at a fraction of the cost and, because we built it ourselves, we have been able to modify it to match their exact processes. We are also digitizing decades of paper records, building inventory tracking, and creating the reporting layer that lets ownership see what is actually happening across the business.

This is created a lasting relationship. There is a lot of value still to build and we expect to be working together for a long time.

Technologies: Open source ERP, custom module development, process design, data migration

INTEGRATIONS

Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, Sage, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Twilio, and anything with an API

If you have been looking for someone with experience in a specific stack, the fastest way to know if we are the right fit is to get on a call.

How we work

Discovery

We spend real time understanding the problem, the existing systems, and what success looks like before anyone makes a technical decision.

Strategy

Architecture and project roadmap built around how the system will actually be used and maintained over time, not just how it will be built.

Development

Agile builds with check-ins every two to three weeks. You always know where things stand. No surprises at the end.

Deployment

Tested against real data, documented properly, and your team is trained before anything goes live.

Evolution

We build things that can grow. Whether you need light support, a new phase, or a long-term development partner, we are still here after launch.

Common questions

How much does custom software development cost in Canada?

It depends on what you are building. Simple automation tools start around $25,000. Comprehensive business systems run $75,000 to $200,000. Customer-facing applications and platforms vary from $50,000 to $300,000 and up. We scope every project in writing before work begins and the number does not change without your approval.

Yes. Most of our best projects started with a business problem, not a requirements document. We are good at helping you figure out what you actually need before we figure out how to build it.

We do this regularly. It takes some upfront work to understand what is there, but we have a real process for assessing what to keep and what to replace.

Many custom software projects qualify for IRAP funding or SR&ED tax credits, which can reduce your net development cost significantly. We help clients understand what they may be eligible for and structure our documentation to support those applications. This is part of our service, not an add-on.

Simple automation tools typically take six to twelve weeks. Comprehensive business systems take three to six months. Customer-facing applications with advanced features can take six to twelve months. We give you a detailed timeline before work starts and update it as we go.

That depends on what you need. We can hand off with full documentation and training, provide light ongoing support, or work as your long-term development partner. We talk about this at the start of every engagement so there are no surprises at the end.

We work with businesses across London, Southwestern Ontario, and across Canada. Most of our client relationships are fully remote and we have delivered projects for organizations from Windsor to Toronto and beyond. London is home base. Geography has never been a barrier.

Bring us the problem. We will figure out the solution together.

Discovery calls are free. We scope honestly and in writing. You leave the first conversation knowing what it will cost, how long it will take, and exactly what you are getting.
