INNOVASoftware & Products

Custom software, designed around outcomes.

We define what the software must change, prove it with a prototype, then build, integrate and keep it running.

In brief

INNOVA designs and builds custom software in Ottawa: operations platforms, internal tools, SaaS, AI-enabled products and iOS and Android apps, in TypeScript, Python and Postgres. Every build starts with a working prototype. Live examples: the UAFest festival operations platform and FoundWall, a Canada-first lost-and-found network.

How a build runs

  1. 1 Define What the software must change
  2. 2 Prototype A version people can click
  3. 3 Validate Tested with real users and data
  4. 4 Build Engineered for daily use
  5. 5 Integrate Joined to the systems you run
  6. 6 Operate Monitored, fixed and improved

What we build.

TypeScript, Python, Postgres and native mobile, with security, permissions and audit designed in.

Custom platforms

Back offices and operations systems shaped around how your team works.

Internal tools

Registers, dashboards and approval flows that replace spreadsheets and email chains.

SaaS products

Multi-tenant products with roles, permissions and audit from day one.

AI-enabled products

Applications where AI drafts, classifies or acts inside a controlled workflow.

Mobile apps

iOS and Android apps from one codebase, taken through TestFlight, Google Play testing and App Store release.

Integrations

Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Power Automate and Azure; CRMs, accounting, payments, email and public data sources.

Prototypes

A working version in weeks, for users, investors or a funding application.

Modernization

Moving legacy systems to maintainable, secure, documented software.

AI models run under your own licence and tenant. We configure what you already own before adding a new vendor.

Prototype first.

INNOVA can turn a research concept or an operational problem into a working prototype before anyone commits to a full build.

For funded projects this means the first milestone is something a reviewer can click, and every later milestone is measured against it.
