Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Newfoundland and Labrador
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Newfoundland and Labrador has no provincial private-sector privacy statute, so PIPEDA applies to businesses and ATIPPA to public bodies. We build consent, retention and access-request handling around the one that governs you, and document it for your records.
The province's Accessibility Act (2021) sets the direction, and WCAG 2.2 AA is the working standard we build to. That covers keyboard access, contrast, captions, focus order and screen-reader labels, tested before every release goes out.
St. John's works in English, so we build English-first products with plain, direct copy. If a federal contract or a partner needs French, our bilingual EN/FR capability lets us add it without rebuilding the content model or the interface.
Data is hosted in Canadian cloud regions with backups and logs in country. For offshore and remote operations we design for patchy connections: mobile apps that work offline and sync when signal returns. You own all hosting accounts.
Sectors
Operators and suppliers need field-ready mobile apps, document and inspection systems, and predictive analytics on equipment data. We build offline-capable Android and iOS apps and the web platforms behind them.
Marine sensor and robotics companies want dashboards, data pipelines and computer-vision models that work on real-world data. We deliver the interface, the pipeline and the ML as one product, hosted in Canada.
Harvesters, processors and aquaculture operators ask for traceability tools, catch and inventory apps, and forecasting. We connect vessel, plant and sales data in one web app with mobile access for crews at sea.
Provincial and municipal bodies need accessible, ATIPPA-aware citizen services with clear audit trails. We build web apps to WCAG 2.2 AA with access-request and records features designed in from the start.
Process
Discover
A video kickoff in your Newfoundland Time afternoon covers goals, users, field conditions and privacy obligations. You receive a written scope and a prioritised plan to approve before we begin.
Design
Weekly prototypes for you to click through in your own hours, with offline and low-signal scenarios designed in wherever crews or field staff will use the product.
Build
Working software every week on a staging environment your team can open any time. One accountable team covers web, mobile, data and AI, so integrations do not stall between vendors.
Launch
We deploy to Canadian cloud regions, complete accessibility and security checks, and hand over code, designs, accounts and documentation. We visit St. John's for go-live or training when it helps.
Grow
Post-launch, we track how the product is used, run SEO and paid campaigns where you sell to a wider market, and add features and AI automation as your needs change.
FAQ
No. OlDevs is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and works with St. John's clients remotely through video calls held in Newfoundland Time. For kickoffs, site visits or launch training we travel to St. John's when it adds value. We do not claim local staff, and you always know who is doing the work.
Yes, and the half-hour offset is not a problem. St. John's is four and a half hours ahead of Vancouver, so your 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm is our 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. We schedule demos and working sessions in that window and handle your morning requests as soon as our day starts.
Yes. There is no provincial private-sector privacy statute, so PIPEDA governs businesses, while ATIPPA covers public bodies. We design consent, retention and access-request handling to suit whichever framework applies, and work with your counsel on questions of interpretation.
Yes. We host in Canadian cloud regions by default and keep backups, logs and analytics in Canada as well. Every hosting and cloud account is created in your organisation's name, so ownership and control sit with you from the first deployment onward.
Offshore and ocean-technology companies typically need data platforms, field mobile apps and machine learning. Fisheries and public-sector organisations lean toward web apps with traceability or records features. Tourism operators come for websites plus SEO and paid campaigns aimed at visitors.
