AL Software Consulting · St. John's, NL

Stop renting software that doesn't fit your business.

We take apart the processes your business actually runs, strip out the SaaS you're overpaying for, and build lean, bespoke tools you own outright — maintained by us, or handed over to your team.

The problem

Your processes have bent themselves around your software.

Most businesses don't choose their workflows — they inherit them from whatever platform they signed up for. It shows up three ways:

Paying for the platform, using a tenth of it

Per-seat pricing for staff who touch the tool once a week. Enterprise tiers unlocked for one feature. Licenses that grow faster than revenue.

Workflows contorted around someone else's product

Spreadsheets bridging the gaps between systems. Staff re-keying data from one tool into another. "That's just how the software works" as a policy.

Your data, held by the vendor

Export limits, API paywalls, and renewal-time price hikes you can't refuse — or a legacy system whose vendor moved on years ago and left you stranded.

Why now

AI changed the economics of bespoke software.

Custom software used to be the expensive option — that's why the SaaS industry exists. AI-assisted engineering has collapsed the cost of building focused, well-scoped internal tools. A bespoke tool that fits your process exactly should pay for itself within a year of retiring the licenses it replaces — that's the goal we price against.

But cheap building makes judgment more valuable, not less. Knowing what to build — and what not to — is where the real work is. That's the consulting.

How it works

Dissect. Realign. Build. Own.

01

Dissect the process

We map the workflow your team actually runs — not the org-chart version — and find where the software is fighting the business.

02

Realign process and tooling

Process first, software second. We design the leanest set of tools that serves the realigned process, and cost it honestly against what you're paying today.

03

Build bespoke, build small

Small, sharp tools on boring, reliable technology — built AI-accelerated, integrated with the systems worth keeping.

04

You own it

Code, data, and infrastructure are yours — then keep it fresh your way: take it over entirely, extend it yourselves under our expert oversight, or leave the whole thing with us.

Tell us about the process that hurts.

It starts with a 30-minute chat, no charge, to see if this approach fits your situation. From there: a $1,000 CAD consultation that ends in a written plan and a non-binding quote — yours to act on with us or without us. If bespoke doesn't make sense for you, the plan says so.
