About
Engineering-grade software, at the scale of your business.
Fosterlite Solutions Ltd. is a Canadian software and consulting company based in Ottawa. We design, build and support custom software, web platforms and the systems that hold a business together, for clients in Canada and abroad.
We started Fosterlite because a lot of growing businesses were stuck between two bad options: generic tools that almost fit, or agencies that sell a big project, hand it over and move on. We think there’s a better way to do it.
What sets us apart
One experienced team, start to finish.
The same team is involved from the first scoping call through launch and beyond, so the people shaping your solution understand exactly how it will be built.
We build our own products.
Fosterlite also builds its own software, including a trade management platform in production with financial institutions. That means we live with our own architecture decisions, support real users, and know what it takes to keep software running, not just to launch it.
Built to last, not just to demo.
Proper environments, version control, testing, access control and documentation, even on small projects. The system you get can grow with you or be handed to another team without a rewrite.
Canadian by default.
We understand Canadian requirements, from CRA receipting to privacy expectations under PIPEDA, and design for them from the start rather than adapting US-first tools.
Straight advice.
If you don't need custom software, we'll tell you. Sometimes the best project is configuring what you already have.
