Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Manufacturing software in Saskatoon.
Custom systems for Saskatoon mining supply, agricultural equipment and fabrication shops. Manufacturing is 9.3% of the region's GDP. Free thirty minute walkthrough.
The work
Four things we built. Different industries, same engineer.
Each one started as a problem somebody said out loud. All four are live: press the button and use the real tool.
Recommissioning a gas plant from twenty-year-old drawings.
The client bought a plant that had been shut down for years. 646 tags, thirteen questions each, before a single part could be bought. We built the system that answers them, tag by tag.
A 60-person fab shop, up for sale, and nothing written down.
The buyers loved the business and could not see how it ran. We interviewed 22 people, pulled out everything they knew, and built the whole operation into one package: flows, procedures, safety, ISO, maintenance, a legacy library. The deal closed.
A supply business that runs itself.
A teeth whitening supplier that sells to salons. One console reads the mail, chases the leads, counts the stock and writes the letters. The owner clicks only to send and to pay.
An end to end water delivery business, run from the truck.
One truck, 150 doors a week. The app asks every customer, builds the run, sends the invoice and takes the payment. The owner drives.
The money
28.5 hours a week. That is $891.
We mapped a 90 person fabrication shop. 28.5 hours every week went into work nobody sells (the payback chart on pragmabuild.com/how-it-works).
What those hours cost here.
- $31.25an hour, median. A production supervisor in Saskatchewan.
- $891a week. 28.5 hours times $31.25.
- $46,332a year. $891 a week times 52.
That is a whole wage, spent on typing the same number twice.
Your shop is not that shop. Your number is your own, and the walkthrough measures it.
Your town
Yes, this is your town
Manufacturing is 9.3% of the Saskatoon region’s GDP. 125 businesses here export manufactured goods: that is 31.1% of every exporting business in the region and 21.9% of total exports (SREDA, read 2 Oct 2026).
Exporting is the part that punishes a spreadsheet. Paperwork, lot codes, certificates, and a customer in another country who wants to know where the order is at four in the afternoon.
Mining supply, agricultural equipment, machinery and food. One order, twenty parts, three suppliers, and a mine site or a farm that needs it before the season turns.
The work
What we build
Exporting is the part that punishes a spreadsheet. Paperwork, lot codes, certificates, and a customer in another country asking where the order is.
The promise date, beside the job it is holding up.
Requisition to purchase order to receipt in one line, with the vendor and what you paid last time, for a mine site or a farm that cannot wait.
The certificate travels with the part.
Inspection, non conformance, corrective action and traceability tied to the part, the job and the operator, so an export buyer gets his answer in seconds.
The season does not get to surprise you.
A live schedule tied to real capacity and real due dates, so the spring order book is a plan and not a hope.
The export paperwork comes off the job.
The quote becomes the job, the job becomes the shipment, the shipment becomes the invoice, with the export paperwork coming off the job itself.
You keep your ERP. We build the four things it never covered.
Money toward it
Somebody may pay for part of it
The federal Regional Tariff Response Initiative is open through Prairies Economic Development Canada. It has already put over $8.4 million into seven projects in one prairie region for automation, technology adoption and market access, and PrairiesCan says it keeps taking applications (PrairiesCan, 17 Apr 2026, read 2 Oct 2026).
We will tell you when a door is shut before you waste a morning on the form. And if nothing is open, the map still prices every item and puts them in payback order, so the first build pays for the next one.
What we hear
What usually stops people
“Everything runs through one guy’s workbook.”
That is the exact job. It is usually a workbook somebody built years ago that nobody else fully understands, and it leaves when he does.
“Our customers want paperwork we cannot produce fast.”
Then the paperwork should write itself off the job. The certificate, the lot, the operator, the photographs, all tied to the part when the work happened.
“We are seasonal.”
You see working pieces every week, not a reveal at the end. We build the piece that helps most before the season and the rest after.
“You are a long way from here.”
Most jobs run remote on a screen share and a phone camera in your operator’s hand. When the job needs boots on the floor, we fly.
Next step
Book a walkthrough.
Free. Thirty minutes. You get a written map of your operation: every process, what it costs in hours and dollars, what can be automated, and the order it pays back in. You keep the map whether or not you build anything with us.
Straight answers
- Do you work in Saskatchewan?
- Yes. Most jobs run remote. When the job needs boots on the floor, we fly.
- We are a mining supplier, not a manufacturer. Does that fit?
- Yes. Ten people to five hundred, in anything that builds, moves, fixes or processes real things.
- What do I get from the walkthrough itself?
- A written map: every process, what it costs in hours and dollars, what can be automated, each item priced, in payback order. It is yours either way.
- Do you replace our ERP?
- No, unless building the whole thing is actually cheaper for you. We will tell you which.
