Custom software
you own outright.
For governments, public bodies, and businesses done renting SaaS that almost fits. We build the system to your exact requirement, then hand you the keys — the source, the data, the IP. No subscriptions. No lock-in.

Public sector
Municipal, provincial, and federal teams evaluating a build during procurement. Fixed-price, accessible, bilingual, Canadian-hosted — and you own 100% of the IP.
For government buyersBusiness
Established businesses and founders done renting SaaS that almost works. Internal tools and platforms sized to your operation, built in weeks — and yours to keep.
See what we've builtThe tools you rent bleed hours and dollars.
Before the philosophy, the plain truth — a few of the leaks we hear about most.
$400/seat
a month for software that does 60% of the job — the other 40% lives in a spreadsheet your office manager hates.
6 hrs/week
re-typing the same job into two systems. That's a part-time salary spent on copy-paste.
2 days late
on the quote — so the job went to whoever answered first. The tool wasn't built for how you actually sell.
+12% / yr
on the renewal, every year, forever — for software you will never own a line of.
Stock software is fine to start. You can't scale on it.
Watch any high-performance field. F1 teams don't race in stock cars. Olympic shooters don't use factory rifles. Concert pianists don't buy pianos at Costco. The further you move toward the top of any field, the less stock kit fits.
Software is the same. Generic SaaS is great when you haven't figured out your process yet. The day you have, it becomes the lid on your operation — the thing your team works around instead of with.
Custom doesn't take 18 months and $2M anymore. With a tight scope and a focused team, it ships in weeks — and it fits, instead of almost fitting.
Systems in production today.
No client names — every system below is live and real. Lease and audit platforms, field-service ops, education apps, and more.
Lease Management System
Track every lease, renewal, key date, and contact. Replaced four spreadsheets and a SaaS tool that did not fit.
- Lease records with renewal + escalation logic
- Document attachments + version history
- Email + dashboard alerts on key dates
Document Repository
A searchable internal vault with version history, access controls, and audit trail. Replaced a shared drive that had stopped scaling.
- Full-text search with smart tagging
- Per-role access controls
- Version history + restore
Compliance & Audit System
Policy library, attestations, audit-ready logs, and evidence collection in one place. Built for teams who get audited.
- Policy library with versioned acknowledgements
- Attestation workflow + reminders
- Immutable audit log with filtering + export
Internal Ticketing System
Request intake, triage, assignment, SLA tracking, and close-out — built around how the team actually responds, not a generic helpdesk template.
- Custom intake forms per request type
- Triage queue with assignment + escalation
- SLA timers + breach alerts
Move Request System
Desk, office, and asset moves with approvals, scheduling, and crew dispatch. Replaces an email + spreadsheet chain.
- Self-serve move request intake
- Approval routing per request type
- Crew scheduling + capacity view
Electrical Contractor Operations Platform
A full operations platform: quotes, jobs, calendar, inventory, checklists, analytics, upsells, warranties, workers, customers, price book — with AI that auto-classifies line items.
- Quotes, jobs, calendar, dispatch
- Inventory + price book with AI classification
- Workers, onboarding, warranties, upsells
No vague timelines. No surprise invoices.
Four steps from first call to a system you own.
- 01
Teardown call
30 minutes. We map your current stack and the requirement. Within a day, a written breakdown of what we'd build.
- 02
Fixed scope & quote
One number, agreed before any code. For public bodies, a clickable prototype before you commit.
- 03
Build in slices
Weekly check-ins on working software. You see it come together — no big-bang reveal at the end.
- 04
Handover & ownership
Full source, data, infrastructure, and documentation. We train your people. Then it's yours — support optional, never required.

Building something different? We also build custom online course platforms — a Kajabi or Teachable alternative you own, with native iOS, Android, and web apps.
Do we actually own the source code?
Yes — that's the whole point. On final payment you own every line of code, the data, and the IP outright. No licensing, no per-seat fees, no lock-in. If you ever want to take it to another developer, you can.
How much does a custom build cost?
Business builds typically land between roughly $8,000 and $40,000 CAD depending on scope, quoted at a fixed price before any code is written. Public-sector work is scoped and fixed-price per requirement. We size the project to the job — a focused tool costs far less than a full platform.
How long does it take?
You get a first working deliverable in about 22 days. We work in tight, scoped slices so you see something real fast, then iterate — instead of waiting months for a big-bang launch.
Is it accessible and bilingual?
Yes. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA from the first screen, and can deliver full English/French parity — which matters for public-sector and regulated work. Canadian data residency is available on request.
What's the first step?
A 30-minute call. We review how you handle your core workflows, point at what's costing you time, and tell you straight whether a custom build fits — and roughly what it would take. No obligation.
30 seconds. Five questions.
Tell us where you're at and we'll point you to the right next step — a call, a fixed-price pilot, or a free teardown. No guessing, no sitting through a pitch to find out.
