Six ways in. One way of working.
Every job gets a fixed quote in writing before work starts. "From" prices are honest floors for the simplest version of each job, not bait. Everything is priced to fit the direct-award authority your purchasing policy already gives your office, so buying from us is a purchase order, not a procurement project.
Custom Local Software
When off-the-shelf doesn't fit and the big platforms cost more than your IT budget, we build the system you actually need, scoped deliberately small. Proof it works: we built and operate a complete management platform for a member-owned rural water co-operative, covering member accounts, billing, and daily operations.
- Utility and member billing systems
- Facility, equipment, and asset management
- Permit and application tracking
- Operations dashboards your council or board can read
- Built on modern, boring, cheap-to-run infrastructure; you own the source
Field Apps & Sensors
Software that leaves the office. We build phone apps for crews and pair them with low-cost sensor hardware where it earns its keep. Our own road-condition product mounts a pothole sensor on a vehicle and maps road damage through a companion app while crews drive the routes they already drive.
- Road condition logging and mapped damage reports for maintenance planning and grant applications
- Asset and infrastructure inspection apps
- Meter reading and route-based data collection
- Crew checklists and work logs that survive a truck cab
Data Rescue
The historical database that needs to be renamed, reorganized, and made usable again. We take any municipal dataset, however old and however messy, and return it clean, structured, deduplicated, and documented.
- Assessment rolls, tax records, and utility account histories
- Cemetery registries and plot maps
- Bylaw and minutes indexes going back decades
- Records inventories for retention compliance
- Migration into whatever your office already uses, or something better
Deliverable: clean data, a written map of everything that changed, and a handover your staff can follow without us.
Website Fix or Rebuild
A municipal website that loads fast, reads in plain language, meets accessibility expectations, and, the part that matters, your office can update without calling anyone.
- Agendas, minutes, and public notices your staff post themselves
- Accessible and mobile-friendly by default
- Hosting that costs dollars, not hundreds, per month
- Canadian hosting available where records require it
- Care plan from $75/month: updates, backups, and a human who answers
Automations, Forms & Integrations
The office work that eats the week: reports assembled by hand, exports reconciled line by line, license applications arriving on paper. We automate the repetitive parts and put the high-traffic forms online. To be clear about scope: this is about workflows going forward, not scanning decades of archives.
- Monthly and quarterly reports that generate themselves
- Billing export reconciliation
- Online forms for licenses, permits, and bookings, feeding a simple tracker
- Mail-merge notices and assessment letters
- Moving data between systems that don't talk to each other
Your IT Desk MONTHLY RETAINER
For municipalities and co-ops that want a standing answer to "who do we call?" A monthly retainer with a set block of hours, priority response, and no question too small.
- One number to call, answered by the person who does the work
- Priority turnaround on anything that breaks
- Unused hours roll forward one month
- Cancel with 30 days' notice. Retainers should be earned, not contracted
