At a glance
What we build
DECHY works with organizations in Canada on software, AI, automation, integration, and related services, delivered remotely.
Problems we solve
Canadian projects often have to respect federal and provincial privacy rules, serve English and French users, and handle sales tax that differs by province.
Who we serve
Canadian startups, small and mid-sized businesses, enterprises, and teams that want a remote technology partner.
How to choose
Tell us where your users are and which language and privacy rules apply. We explain how we would build to them and how we would work across Canada's time zones.
The market
What Canadian buyers tend to ask for
Canada combines a strong technology sector, large resource, finance, and public-sector organizations, and many small and mid-sized businesses. Requests we see most often are customer portals and booking tools, connections between older systems and cloud services, and automation of manual back-office work.
Language shapes many projects. Federal bodies and many national brands serve customers in English and French, and the design has to allow for text that is longer in French and for content that stays accurate in both.
Time zones matter too. A team in Atlantic Canada and a team on the Pacific coast are separated by several hours, so we agree meeting windows, and keep decisions in writing.
Rules and practice
Considerations that shape Canadian software projects
| Consideration | Why it matters | What it means for the build |
|---|---|---|
| Federal and provincial privacy law | A federal law covers many private-sector organizations, while some provinces have their own rules, and Quebec's are among the strictest. | We design for consent, access requests, and clear records of what is held, to the standard the strictest applicable rule sets. |
| French-language requirements | Organizations doing business in Quebec are expected to serve customers in French, including websites and software. | We build interfaces that support both languages from the start, rather than adding French late. |
| Where data is stored | Some customers and public bodies prefer or require that data stays in Canada. | We choose Canadian hosting regions where asked, and record where data is stored and processed. |
| Sales tax by province | Sales tax differs by province, and rates and rules change. | We connect stores and invoicing to tax services in place of hard-coding rates. |
