Built for Montréal

French first, hosted in Montréal.

We are a Canadian software studio based in Kelowna. We build apps, AI agents, blockchains and integrations for Montréal companies, with French designed in from the first screen and hosting in Montréal when your data must stay in Quebec. You get a priced range in minutes, in French or English.

// the market

What shapes the work here.

French comes first

Quebec's Charter of the French language expects businesses to serve customers in French, on their websites, in their software and in their contracts. Every app we build for Quebec is French-first, with English as a second language when you want it.

Law 25 changes the design

Quebec's privacy law asks for a person in charge of personal information, assessments before data leaves the province, and privacy settings that start at their most protective. We build those in, not on.

Games, screens and AI

Montréal is one of the world's big game and visual effects cities and a centre for AI research. Studios here know good software when they see it, and expect their suppliers to.

Aerospace and life sciences

Aircraft makers, their suppliers and pharmaceutical firms work under strict quality rules. Traceability, controlled documents and signed records are the features that matter most.
