Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for British Columbia
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
The BC Personal Information Protection Act governs provincially regulated Kamloops organisations, with PIPEDA applying to federally regulated ones. We keep data models lean, separate operational records from marketing lists, and give you an inventory of what is stored and why.
WCAG 2.2 AA is our working standard, and public bodies in the province publish accessibility plans under the Accessible British Columbia Act. We test with a keyboard and a screen reader, size touch targets properly, and keep contrast intact through every state.
Kamloops works in English, so we spend the language budget on precision. Labels match the words your customers actually use, instructions come before the field rather than after it, and long policy text is broken into sections people can scan on a phone.
Procurement teams here often ask where records live. We can place the database, backups, uploaded files and application logs in Canadian regions, and we document every third party that touches customer data so your review gets a straight answer.
Sectors
Resource operations need internal tools more than brochures: shift reports, equipment logs, contractor onboarding, safety documents. We build these as web apps that work on a tablet in the field and sync once the connection comes back.
Freight and rail related businesses run on scheduling, dispatch and paperwork. We connect those systems, replace spreadsheets with proper records, and add dashboards that show where a load or a crew actually is right now.
Schools, colleges and training providers need course information, applications and student portals that hold up in September. We build accessible pages and forms, then use analytics to show which programs are drawing real enquiries.
Tournaments and visitor attractions live or die on the weeks around an event. We build registration, schedule and ticketing flows that survive a rush, then run paid search and paid social campaigns timed to your calendar.
Process
Discover
A short series of video calls maps what Kamloops customers or staff need, what data already exists, and which of your current systems have to stay exactly where they are.
Design
We share screens and prototypes as they are drawn, take your comments in writing, and settle structure and interface decisions before any engineering work starts on the build.
Build
Development runs in weekly cycles. Every week closes with something you can click, so scope questions get answered against real software rather than against a document.
Launch
Release day is scripted: content checks, an accessibility pass, analytics verification, then cutover. We can be in Kamloops for training if your staff learn better in a room together.
Grow
Once live, we track what people actually do, fix the friction that shows up in the data, and keep search, campaigns and lifecycle email running against goals you set.
FAQ
There is not. OlDevs runs one studio, in Vancouver, and Kamloops clients are served remotely by that same team. You get video calls, a shared project board and weekly demos, plus visits up the highway when a discovery workshop, a training session or a launch benefits from being in person.
Every enquiry gets a reply within one business day. Because Kamloops and Vancouver keep the same Pacific clock, a message you send in the morning is usually answered before you finish your afternoon, and we can normally put a first call in the calendar for the same week.
Often, yes. We read the existing code, hosting and analytics first, then give you a plain assessment of what is worth keeping and what should be rebuilt. Since our clients own all code and accounts, we set your Kamloops organisation up as the owner of everything from the first day.
Yes. AI development covers custom machine learning, generative AI and LLMs, natural language, computer vision, AI automation and agents, and predictive analytics. For a smaller Kamloops operation the practical starting point is usually automating one repetitive internal task and measuring whether it saves real hours.
Both Android and iOS, offered as separate services, so a Kamloops client can start with one platform and add the other later. We choose native or cross-platform based on what the app has to do with the device, not on what would be quickest for us to write.
We design around the BC Personal Information Protection Act for provincially regulated organisations and PIPEDA for federally regulated ones, holding collection to what the feature needs and documenting retention. We are not lawyers, so your counsel makes the final call, and we give them clear documentation to review.
