Web development for Detroit, from just across the river

We're the most local "foreign" studio you'll ever hire — Toronto-based, minutes from the Windsor–Detroit corridor, running cross-border logistics software daily. We build supplier portals, manufacturing platforms and B2B sites for the companies rebuilding Detroit.

Industrial software from people who ship industrial software

Detroit's economy runs on making and moving things — automotive suppliers, fabricators, machine shops, and the logistics operations tying them together. Our flagship product is a cross-border transportation management system that moves real freight through the Windsor–Detroit corridor every week. When a Detroit supplier describes their quoting mess or their customer portal gap, we've usually built that exact system before.

What we build here: supplier and customer portals with real pricing and document flows, quoting systems that turn RFQs around in hours instead of days, and credibility-grade marketing sites for companies whose next contract depends on looking as capable as they are.

  • Supplier and customer portals: pricing, orders, documents, status
  • RFQ and quoting systems with real cost logic
  • B2B catalogs for parts, components and industrial supply
  • Quality and compliance document workflows (certs, PPAPs, audits)
  • ERP and accounting integration — your systems stay in place
  • Marketing sites that pass procurement-department scrutiny

Practically local, priced like Canada

Toronto to Detroit is a four-hour drive or a one-hour flight — we're closer to you than most of your West Coast suppliers. We're in your time zone, we know the corridor's business culture, and we run cross-border operations ourselves, so USD invoicing, W-8BENs and cross-border paperwork are routine rather than novel.

The economics work in your favor: senior Canadian engineers at rates well below Detroit's downtown agencies and the big automotive consultancies. For manufacturers watching margin on every PO, that difference is real money on a six-month build.

How Detroit projects run

Discovery is a working session — we map the actual workflow (usually involving more spreadsheets than anyone wants to admit), then fix a scope and price in writing. Marketing sites ship in four to six weeks; portals and quoting systems in eight to sixteen, staged so the most painful module goes live first.

The follow-on is usually automation: the agent that reads incoming RFQs and drafts the quote, the document processor that files certs and PODs, the reporting pipeline that closes the month. Detroit's document-heavy workflows are exactly where our AI practice pays for itself fastest.
