Built for Winnipeg

Software for the middle of the country.

We are a Canadian software studio based in Kelowna, with working hours set around yours. We build apps, AI agents, blockchains and integrations for the companies that move grain and freight across the country, build buses and aircraft parts, and insure the rest.

// the market

What shapes the work here.

Grain and the prairies

Winnipeg sits at the centre of the prairie grain trade. Growers, elevators, buyers and railways each keep part of a load's record, and the paperwork between them is still heavier than it should be.

A transportation crossroads

Rail lines, trucking routes and an all-cargo airport meet here. Carriers and warehouses need dispatch, tracking and billing that hold together across all three.

Federal privacy law applies

Manitoba has no general private-sector privacy law, so most businesses follow PIPEDA, and health records have provincial rules of their own. We design what is collected and kept with that in mind.

Example projectLogistics

Private-ledger bills of lading

An electronic bill of lading recorded on a private permissioned ledger where the shipper, the carrier and the consignee each run a node, so pickup, hand-offs and the signed delivery are one record none of them can change alone. If one company already runs the system and everyone trusts it, a shared database does the same job for less, and we will say so.

Example projectInsurance

Broker policy wording assistant

An assistant for brokers that answers from the published wordings and endorsements and quotes the clause, on a frontier model because the documents are public and the traffic is light, which makes it the quickest and least costly route.

// questions

What buyers here ask us.

Do you have a Winnipeg 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 a blockchain help with grain or freight paperwork?

Sometimes. When several companies each keep their own copy of the same load, a shared record helps. When one company holds the record, a database is simpler, and we say so.

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.
