Built for Vancouver

A BC studio that works your hours.

We are a software studio based in Kelowna, four hours up the highway, with working hours set around yours. We build custom apps, AI agents, blockchains and integrations for Vancouver companies, and we run what we build. You get a priced range in minutes and calls that fit your working day.

// the market

What shapes the work here.

Canada's busiest port

The Port of Vancouver moves more cargo than any other in the country, and every container touches carriers, terminals, brokers and warehouses. Software here lives or dies on how well it tracks a shipment across all of them.

Screens, games and studios

Film, television, visual effects and game studios work to fixed release dates with crews that change per project. They need tools that onboard people fast, keep assets safe and close cleanly when the show wraps.

Property is a big business

Strata corporations, rental buildings and brokerages manage thousands of residents and units. Repairs, notices, bookings and rent all want one place to live instead of a dozen inboxes.

British Columbia's privacy law applies

Private businesses in BC handle personal information under the province's Personal Information Protection Act. We design what is collected, who sees it and where it is stored with that in mind from the first screen.

Example projectReal estate and proptech

Building assistant for tenants

// questions

What buyers here ask us.

Do you have a Vancouver office?

No. We are based in Kelowna and work remotely with every client. Calls are on Teams, and everything we build is visible in your client portal as it happens.

Can you work with our in-house team?

Yes. We can build the whole product, or take one part of it, such as the AI or the integrations, and work in your repositories under your review.

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.
