Why we're different

We've lived through
what you're about to face.

Launches. Failures. Pivots. Scaling. Acquisitions. Exits. Very few agencies can say that.

We've built and sold our own products

Two successful exits — Getitlive (1M+ users) and MARL (100K+ users). We understand product-market fit because we've found it.

vs. agencies that have only ever done client work

20+ years, no restarts

Founded 2005. We've seen mobile, cloud, SaaS, and AI. We know which trends are real and which ones aren't worth betting on.

vs. agencies founded after the AI hype began

We think like founders

We push back when your idea needs it. We tell you what not to build. We optimize for your outcome, not our billable hours.

vs. offshore firms that execute without strategic input

We become your technical partner — not a vendor.

From architecture decisions on day one through scaling, iteration, and long-term evolution.

How we work

Four steps.
No surprises.

01

Discover

We map your business problem before writing a line of code. Workflows, gaps, and where technology creates real leverage.

02

Architect

System design, technology selection, and a roadmap that fits your constraints. You approve the plan before we build.

03

Build

Iterative engineering with continuous delivery. You see real progress every week — not a reveal at the end of a long contract.

04

Scale

Systems designed to grow. Ongoing retainers, performance tuning, and feature evolution as your business expands.

What clients say
Startup founder

Most agencies build what you ask for. Saigal pushed back on half our spec and saved us six months of rework. They think like founders because they are founders.

M. Khalid
Founder, SaaS platform · Toronto
Enterprise

We'd been through two agencies that couldn't handle the NetSuite integration complexity. Saigal understood it on day one. The system's been live for two years without a major incident.

D. Lepage
CTO, Distribution company · Ontario
Scale-up

We went from concept to 10,000 users in four months. The infrastructure held. The AI layer worked. I've recommended them to three other founders since.

Who we help

What problem
are you solving?

Find yourself in the list. Every category links to a dedicated page with case studies, stack, and process.

Startups & Scale-ups

Need to launch a SaaS or grow past your first million users?

We've built products from zero to acquisition. We know which technical decisions matter early and which ones become expensive later.

Enterprises

Need to automate operations or modernize a legacy system?

NetSuite integrations, custom ERPs, AI automation layers — built over your existing infrastructure without rip-and-replace risk.

Real Estate & PropTech

Building technology for how property is bought, sold, or managed?

Two PropTech exits. MLS data, geospatial AI, neighbourhood intelligence, and agent-facing mobile tools — we've done the hard version.

Ecommerce & Logistics

Scaling commerce that's outgrowing your current platform?

Magento, custom checkout flows, carrier integrations, and intelligent automation that replaces the manual work eating your team's time.

AI solutions

Not AI as a buzzword.
AI as infrastructure.

We build intelligent systems wired into your data and business logic. CrimeLens is a working example — real-time machine learning over geospatial data, in production today.

The question we ask every client: what decision does this system need to make, and what data does it need to make it well?

“I've been building software companies since 2005. Launches, failures, pivots, scaling, acquisitions, exits. That experience is what I bring to every engagement.”

Swaleh Saigal · Founder & CEO, Saigal Media · Ontario, Canada

Started Saigal Media in 2005 building iOS and Android apps before either platform had critical mass. Built Getitlive to over one million users and sold it. Built MARL to 100,000+ real estate users and sold it. Built for FIFA, Scotiabank, BRP, Purolator, and Cube Bikes. Now building AI-powered platforms and enterprise systems for companies that need a technical partner who has already been through what they're facing.
