Scale your business

Build Tech Without The Dread

You have a unique problem and need custom software. You may want a website that talks to Alberta Health Services (via HL7) or a user portal with PCI-compliant payments. If this is your first time, you might be feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you've been down this road before and dread where it leads.

Where to even start? Freelancers are a risk. Outsourcing? Say hello to endless back-and-forth and time zone traps that get you nowhere. Design agencies are great for awards, but you need someone who specializes in tech and gets straight to the point. You don't want your idea mangled through layers of management, and you're tired of hearing, "That's not possible." ~ We got you.

We're Calgary software developers creating bespoke solutions for your business with complete transparency and honesty, on budget and on time. Think of us as the go-to crew for software—less like a mechanic shop and more like a custom car builder. We don't install WordPress plugins; we build them. We don't make brochure websites; we construct websites that work like a machine with a purpose. We create and calibrate each component to build for success and get you excited about what's possible.

We Translate Your Needs Into Action

We don't expect you to know our "lingo" or anything about our industry. Your job is to bring a great idea; ours is to fill in the blanks and make it excellent.

Communication And Care

The last thing you want is anxiety about the final result. We won't build something that "technically works," but overall is a horrible experience. The entire product matters to your clients, customers, and staff. We will keep you in the loop with a demo site and frequent check-ins to discuss what's working and what isn't so we can make changes until it's perfect.

Discovery

We Respect Your Time

We know what works and what doesn't. You don't need a second job; we use our expertise to drive decisions where possible. Of course, we'll need the details, but we're here to be your bulwark against technical complexity and time drain. We hope you're OK with moving fast and just getting things done.

Adaptive Work Process

Putting ideas on paper is hard, and our clients differ in how they do that best. We adapt to your style and preference. By default, we use an adaptive agile approach (forging a loose sequential waterfall plan) and building pieces weekly (sprints). The idea is to map out a destination but have flexibility if things change. This way, "no" is never an issue, and we can pivot based on your needs.

Let's Get It Done

How We Work

Let Us Help Clear Things Up

We sit and discuss your project. We give you insights and direct you toward your next step, whether with us or another solution (we're not a good fit for everyone). If we work together, you'll be added to our project management software (ClickUp), and we'll get to work.

Do The Hard Things First

We dive deep and learn about your company. We assess project risks and research their solutions. The goal is to test and flag major show-stoppers so we're not stuck with an unworkable solution at the finish line.

Build Momentum

We collect and/or set up all of your required accounts (Such as those for running and monitoring problems in your software, third-party passwords, API access, etc.). No matter what happens to us, you'll always have your keys.

Hard Hat Required Beyond This Point

You will receive access to your dashboard, which will have the bare minimum. This dashboard acts as our central place to evaluate work and test functionality. It will fill up with resources and features you can touch and see as we progress.

Full Steam Ahead

Depending on the scope, we sometimes create an MVP focused on nailing the critical path. We use it to evaluate your idea and test product theories, using what we've learned in the next step.

Be Like Water

Like a printer, we iterate over existing features from the previous step or sprint towards new ones. The goal is to perfect what we've built, which might involve creating visuals and layouts for each iteration. The goal is to break things up into small pieces with flexible outcomes.

The Final Polish

You're well-versed in the product, but your team needs training. Once everyone is comfortable, we work on the requested changes because someone always raises tweaks at the 11th hour—bring it on! Finally, we double-check all live accounts, sweep the digital floors, and open your doors to the public.

We Get Back To Work

At this point, you might imagine a "Just Married" car driving off into the sunset. In reality, no plan survives contact with the enemy. We get back to work and support you short and long-term with software updates, training, further iterations, or whatever you need. Your success is our success.

Start Building Today

Technology can be cryptic and intimidating. Worry not—we've got you! Bring your project or idea, and we'll help you untangle the mystery. We will review the details, bounce ideas, and generate valuable insights.

sr-leaf Conflict Is For The Birds

We built a commerce agnostic platform that helps people understand their conflict style and how to use it to their advantage. Practitioners can send and track assessments, and even create their own groups.

  • E-Commerce Agnostic: Platform works without being tied to one e-commerce provider.
  • Practitioner Control: Can create contacts, groups and even sign-up links their test takers can access through a QR code.

We consider SwiftRoot our IT Director. They guide our technical strategy, create new things, and keep our e-learning platform humming. There is no one we'd rather turn to for technology.
