A.Y. Technologies

Custom software and app development for new ventures

A.Y. Technologies is a software and app development company in Canada. Its services cover custom software, system integrations, web applications and mobile apps. The company says it builds performant web applications and quality apps, and it has produced a set of guides for founders on tech startups, mobile app design and UX research.

Roadmap workshops before the build

The company describes app development as a process that is easier to manage when it is understood before work starts. Its roadmap workshops take clients through the key steps of a project: defining its scope, prototyping to visualize the product, correcting course early and often, and identifying and targeting the right market.

What the guides cover

The firm's guides explain why many apps fail and how to test a target market before investing in a build. They cover pricing and monetization, the impact of good design, the Lean Canvas and why a founder might create one, and the importance of product-market fit. Funding, minimum viable products and pricing models are also covered, in language that does not require coding knowledge.

Building with a clear plan

The company says that a non-technical founder can get an idea off the ground with its guidance. Its stated approach is to combine the workshop, prototype and build stages so that the software reflects what the market has been shown to want.
