Custom software · Southern Alberta

Software that runs your business quietly.

Tranqsoft designs and builds the systems small and mid-sized businesses depend on: quoting, scheduling, invoicing, inventory and reporting. Then we keep them running. Senior systems designers based in Alberta, who speak your language.

The problem we solve

Most businesses run on more workarounds than software.

Orders in one spreadsheet, invoices in another, customer details in someone's inbox. Every gap between them is time your staff spend copying numbers instead of doing the work, and every copy is a chance for the numbers to disagree.

Off-the-shelf products rarely fit how a business actually runs, so people build workarounds. The workarounds are the real cost. We replace them with one system, built around your process, with your data in one place.

What we do

Four ways we help

Pick the one that fits, or tell us what is broken and we will tell you which it is.

Custom business software

The system your business needs, built from scratch around the way you already work.

Rebuilds and rescues

For software that mostly works, or that nobody can maintain any more. We take stock, rebuild it properly and hand you the keys.

Automation

End the double entry. We connect the tools you already pay for so information moves on its own and mistakes get caught early.

Hosting and support

Your software runs on infrastructure we operate and monitor. Backups, updates and security are included.

How it works

What a project with us looks like

01

Tell us what you need

Fill in the project form. The more you tell us about how the work runs today, the more useful our first reply will be.

02

We talk it through

A call or a visit, whichever suits. We ask questions and tell you honestly whether custom software is the right answer. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so.

03

A written plan

A short document covering what we will build, what it costs and how long it takes. You know the scope before any work starts.

04

Build, launch, then stay

You see working software every couple of weeks. After launch we host it, monitor it and support it.

Why businesses hire us

Boring, in the best possible way.

Built to last

We build on mature, well-understood technology. Your software works the same in year five as it did in week one, and any competent developer can pick it up.

You own it

The source code and the data are yours. If you ever want to move to another provider, both come with you, documented.

We speak your language

You get plain answers from the people who built your system, in terms that make sense for your business. Every request gets a ticket and is tracked until it is resolved. We are in Alberta, on your time zone.

Experience across the whole system

Decades of combined experience with business systems: writing the software, integrating the accounting, phone and point-of-sale products a business already runs on, and supporting all of it in production, from the front desk to the server room.

Who we work with

Businesses that keep Southern Alberta working

We work best with owner-operated companies of roughly five to fifty people, where the owner still knows how every job gets done and is tired of the spreadsheets.

  • Contractors and trades
  • Clinics and health practices
  • Property and fleet management
  • Retail and wholesale
  • Transport and logistics
  • Schools and instructors
  • Agriculture and energy services
Our own products

We build our own software the same way we build yours

Two products we run ourselves, on the same stack and with the same support we offer clients.

Serene Classes

Scheduling, registration and payments for small schools, studios and independent instructors. Built for the owner who is still juggling a calendar, a spreadsheet and an e-transfer inbox.

Canectic BBS

A modern bulletin board system: an event-driven terminal core, networked messaging over the classic FidoNet-style protocols, and door games. For the people who still run and use BBSes, and the ones who want to start.
