Custom Software Development Montreal
AltaPro AI is an Edmonton-based software development company serving Montreal. For the trades, field-service and property-service businesses here, that ranges from a scoped automation — quoting workflows that price work in minutes — up to a full custom system we build, deploy and run. We work in French and English, and build French and bilingual software when the operation needs it.
Edmonton-Based, and We Work in French.
Two things worth knowing before you spend a call finding them out. First, we serve Montreal remotely — everything we build is cloud software, so your operational system, your custom CRM or your quoting workflow runs on servers rather than in an office on Saint-Laurent. Discovery, builds, training and support happen over video and screen-share, the same way we support clients ten minutes from our door.
Second, we work in French and English. Reach out in French and the project runs in French. The software itself can be fully French or bilingual — interfaces, documents and customer-facing templates — so your team and your customers work in the language they already use.
How Many Businesses Operate in Montreal?

Four Systems Built forMontreal Businesses.
Trades, field service, property services and professional firms — the businesses where margin lives in operations rather than in marketing. See what the leaks cost with the missed-call cost calculator.
01
Operational Software
One system holding jobs, customers, approvals and documents — so the office is working from the same record as the crew, and nobody reconstructs a job from an inbox.
02
Quoting & Document Workflows
Structured estimating on your own rate card, with the documents that follow it. Consistent numbers no matter who prepares the quote, and a paper trail that survives a dispute.
03
Systems Integration
Keep the accounting and field tools you already run; we make the handoffs between them reliable. Entered once, correct in the field, the office and the books.
04
Applied AI & Automation
Applied AI inside working software — extraction, drafting, retrieval with the source shown — with human review wherever being wrong costs something.
The Track Record Was EarnedTwo Time Zones West.
Every system below was built for Alberta businesses and runs in the cloud — exactly how we would build and run yours here. An Edmonton landscaping company took quoting from four hours to under twenty minutes. An Alberta demolition contractor cut bid submissions from two or three hours to minutes. A general contractor replaced five back-office tools with one system. None of those builds depended on us being in the same city as the client. Put your own numbers through the ROI calculator — it's free.

An Edmonton landscaping company
Edmonton, AB
A custom estimating platform integrated into their field software. Quote time cut from 4 hours to under 20 minutes — and any member of the team can quote accurately from day one.
2–3 hrs → minutes

A demolition company

An end-to-end bid intelligence system monitoring Alberta procurement portals around the clock. What took two to three hours per bid now takes minutes — pursuing every relevant opportunity in the province.

Custom Software Development in Montreal,Answered.
Language first, because it decides whether the rest is worth your time — then offices, the time difference, where your data lives and what a build costs. These are the same answers you would get on a call at 587-937-6948.
Do You Work in French?
Yes. We work in French and English. Reach out in French and the project runs in French, and the software itself can be fully French or bilingual: French and English interfaces, French-language documents and customer-facing templates.
What About Quebec's French-Language Requirements?
We build to the requirement you give us: a French interface, French customer-facing documents, French as the default language where that is what the law asks of you. Bring your counsel's read of your obligations to the scoping call and the build is shaped around it.
Do You Have a Montreal Office?
No — we're headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, and serve Montreal remotely. Everything we build is cloud software: your operational system, quoting workflow or integration runs the same whether we're in the next room or two time zones west. Discovery, builds, training and support all happen over video, phone and screen-share.
Does the Time Difference Cause Problems?
Montreal runs two hours ahead of Edmonton. In practice your morning starts before ours and our afternoon runs past your end of day, so the overlap is wide and nothing waits a day. We keep Eastern hours for Quebec calls rather than asking you to keep ours.
Where Does Our Data Live?
The data in it is always yours, and the system itself can be transferred to you outright — which ownership model fits is settled before anything is built (see /ownership). Hosting region is a decision we make with you at scoping rather than a default we impose, so if your policies or your customers require Canadian hosting, that gets specified before anything is built. A build is not on its own enough to satisfy a privacy obligation; that assessment is yours and your counsel's.
What Does Custom Software Development Cost in Montreal?
Scope drives price. A focused first phase is a much smaller build than a full operational platform, so we quote per project rather than publishing a flat rate. The 30-minute call is free: we map your operation and give you a rough cost range. The exact cost and timeline come in our $500 Blueprint, credited in full if you build with us.
