Custom software development for Toronto businesses.

Yes. We attend in-person meetings in Toronto for discovery, planning, demos and handover. Mintek is based in nearby Brampton, so travelling into Toronto to meet your team is straightforward. Many clients mix in-person sessions with video calls, and we are flexible about whatever works best for your schedule.

We work with small and growing Toronto businesses that have outgrown off-the-shelf tools and need software built around their processes, from internal dashboards and admin tools to customer-facing applications and marketplaces. If manual workarounds and disconnected spreadsheets are slowing your team down, that is usually where custom software helps most. We scope to your budget and priorities.

Both. We combine in-person meetings across Toronto and the GTA with efficient remote development. Discovery, planning and demos often work well face to face, while the build itself runs smoothly over video and shared tools. We adapt to how your team prefers to work rather than forcing a single model.

A typical engagement runs in clear stages: discovery to map your workflows and goals, a prototype or proof of concept to validate the approach, an initial production release, then integrations and enhancements, with ongoing support. You see usable progress early and can expand as priorities become clear, rather than waiting for one large launch.

Often, yes. We can take over an existing application, starting with a review of the code, architecture and current pain points. We give you an honest assessment of what is worth keeping and what should be improved, then stabilise and extend it. If a rebuild would serve you better than patching, we will explain why rather than run up hours on fragile foundations.

Yes. For larger or less-defined projects we often recommend starting with a paid discovery phase. This produces a clear plan, scope and estimate before committing to the full build, which reduces risk for both sides. It is especially useful when requirements are still taking shape or several approaches are possible.

We take confidentiality seriously. We are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement, limit access to your data to what the work requires, and follow sensible security practices for credentials and hosting. During discovery we discuss any specific security or compliance needs so they are built into the project from the start.
