What Hamilton projects need us to get right.

The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.

01

Privacy across industry, city and health

Hamilton businesses operate under PIPEDA, the city and other public bodies under FIPPA or MFIPPA, and hospitals, clinics and research groups under PHIPA. We specify consent, retention, de-identification and access-request handling early and test them like any other feature.

02

AODA met and exceeded

Under AODA, public-sector organisations and private ones with 50 or more employees must meet WCAG 2.0 AA on public web content. OlDevs builds to WCAG 2.2 AA, exceeding that requirement, and includes accessibility in code review and release testing.

03

English delivery, ready for more

Hamilton work is delivered in English. Even so, we build content and interfaces with proper language tagging and a structure that supports a second language later, so an expansion to French or another market does not require a rebuild.

Canadian hosting with a data map

We host Hamilton projects in Canadian cloud regions by default, with backups and logs kept in Canada. Health-sciences and public-sector clients get a documented data map showing each service, its location and its role, ready for privacy impact assessments.

Sectors

Who we work with in Hamilton.

Advanced manufacturing and steel

Mills and fabricators need production tracking, maintenance scheduling and quality records that survive a plant floor. We build rugged web and Android apps tied to existing systems, and apply computer vision and predictive analytics to inspection and downtime.

Health sciences

Research groups, clinics and health-tech spinouts around McMaster need PHIPA-ready web and mobile apps for patient intake, study data and clinician tools. We build with audit logging, Canadian hosting and careful, reviewable use of AI.

Logistics and port

Terminal operators, carriers and warehouses need real-time visibility: booking portals, driver apps and dashboards that pull from tracking and ERP systems. We build the customer-facing layer and the integrations behind it.

Construction

Contractors want project portals, site apps for daily logs and inspections, and estimating tools that replace spreadsheets. We build mobile-first for the field, web for the office, and connect both to accounting and scheduling software.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Hamilton.

  1. Discover

    A video kickoff in your Eastern afternoon covers goals, users, existing systems and the constraints of the site or plant. We follow up with a written scope and backlog you can circulate before work starts.

  2. Design

    We turn the scope into wireframes and clickable prototypes, then review them with your team by video. Field and shop-floor screens are designed for gloves, glare and poor connectivity from the start.

  3. Build

    You receive a working demo every week and your own staging environment to test on real devices in Hamilton. Integrations with ERP, tracking or accounting systems are built early so surprises show up early.

  4. Launch

    We manage the release, monitoring and handover documentation. When a project involves plant or site staff, we come to Hamilton for training and first-day support; otherwise launch runs by video.

  5. Grow

    After go-live the same team handles new features, performance tuning and marketing. Everything, including source code, cloud accounts and design files, is in your name from the first week.

FAQ

Hamilton — questions we hear first.

No, OlDevs is a Vancouver studio and works with Hamilton clients remotely. Video calls run in your Eastern hours, and when a project involves a plant floor, a port terminal or a clinic, we travel to Hamilton for discovery, training or launch support.

Yes. The three-hour gap means your noon to 17:30 lines up with our 9:00 to 14:30, so standing meetings, demos and reviews sit in that window. Early-morning issues on your side get a written response first thing, and urgent releases are scheduled around your hours.

We do. Hamilton projects are built to PIPEDA for private businesses, FIPPA or MFIPPA for public bodies and PHIPA for anything involving health information. Those rules become specific requirements around consent, retention, access and logging that we test before launch. Your privacy officer or counsel makes the final policy call.

Yes. Canadian cloud regions are our default for Hamilton clients, and backups and logs stay in Canada too. We hand over a data map listing every service in the stack and where it stores information, which health-sciences and public-sector clients use in privacy impact assessments.

Manufacturers and logistics operators most often ask for web apps and Android apps that integrate with ERP or tracking systems, along with AI for inspection and forecasting. Health-sciences groups ask for PHIPA-ready patient and research tools, and contractors ask for field apps and project portals.
