The studio
We build the tool your business has been getting by without.
The business grew, the spreadsheet grew with it, and now the schedule and the customer list are kept in four different places. The program made for your industry made you work its way.
We build the one tool that replaces those four places. We've spent more than ten years building software for businesses, and we started Ploverloom in 2026 to do it for small businesses directly. The price is fixed and in writing, with a date for the first working version, and the tool is yours when the project is done and paid for.
Our beliefs
Software you'll still be using years from now.
Software should fit the business.
We start from how you work now. Every tool we build is shaped around your business and the words your team already uses, so it makes sense on day one.
Estimates should be honest.
We give you a fixed price in writing. If a project is going to take longer or cost more than you expected, that conversation happens before you sign.
You should own what you paid for.
When the project is done and paid for, everything is handed to you. You don't pay us a monthly fee to keep using it, and you can leave whenever you want.
Software is a long relationship.
We plan for the tool to still be in use ten years from now, and we build it that way.
Working with you
You deal with the builder directly.
When you email us about your project, the person building it reads it. That same person is on every call that needs technical depth and stays on the project through to go live.
We take on a few projects at a time. That keeps our attention on yours and our answers quick. The five steps are on the process page.
Ottawa, Ontario
Based in Ottawa, working across Canada.
We work by email and video call, so where you are doesn't matter much. If you're in the Ottawa area we're glad to meet in person for the first conversation, and there's a page for Ottawa businesses if that's you.
