// the market

What shapes the work here.

Privacy law is federal and provincial

PIPEDA covers most private businesses, while BC, Alberta and Quebec have their own laws, and health records have theirs. We work out which ones apply to you before we design anything.

Two official languages

A national product has to work in English and French. We build both in from the first screen, with Quebec French where Quebec customers expect it.

A country of long distances

Crews, clinics and communities are spread across six time zones and plenty of places with weak signal. Offline-ready apps and plain, fast screens are not extras here.

Data sovereignty matters

Many Canadian buyers, and First Nations in particular, need to know exactly where their data is and who controls it. We can host everything in Canada, and say which provider and region in the estimate.

// working with us

How it works from here.

We set our working hours around yours, so you reach us when it suits you.
Calls on Microsoft Teams. Every milestone and sign-off sits in your client portal.
Hosting in Toronto or Montréal when your data must stay in Canada.
Prices in Canadian dollars, from the same rate card the estimator uses, with GST or HST added where it applies.

// questions

What buyers here ask us.

Where are you based?

In Kelowna, British Columbia. We work remotely with every client, so there is no office to visit, and calls are on Teams.

Is everything priced in Canadian dollars?

Yes. The estimator, quotes and invoices for Canadian clients are in Canadian dollars, and sales tax is added where it applies.

Can our data stay in Canada?

Yes. Name Canada in the estimator and the hosting, backups and logs stay in Toronto or Montréal. The estimate shows which provider and what it costs.

How do we get a price?

Open the estimator, describe what you need, and it gives you a range in a few minutes, broken down by build, hosting and support. It uses the same rate card we quote from.
