eXolnet

Montreal is home to eXolnet, a web, cloud and software developer that builds custom management tools. The company says its aim is to simplify how organizations work, and it describes technology as something that keeps shaping the future. Businesses that stop evolving, it argues, can miss chances to improve their efficiency and performance.

Bespoke management tools from Montreal

eXolnet builds custom management tools and applications, and it connects applications and systems that were not designed to work together. Each solution is designed around a client's own objectives and processes, so that the software suits how the organization already operates instead of forcing the organization to change to suit the software.

What sets the firm apart

eXolnet highlights a few points: solutions tailored to specific goals, project managers who also have technical expertise, production carried out entirely in Montreal without subcontracting, and decisions guided by innovation and automation. The company presents the in-house model as a point of difference, because the people who scope a project are the people who build it.

Tools built for change, promotion and property data

Examples of its work include a change management tool built for a large financial cooperative, a system for handling promotional items, a tool that collects and analyzes real estate data, and a tool for managing a provincial list of medicines. Other projects the firm shows include work for a beauty products brand, a property-sales business, a video game publisher and a music festival.

Project management and delivery

Projects are led by managers who understand both the business and the technology. The company says this makes it easier to question a client's existing processes before any code is written, and to rebuild those processes where they hold the organization back. Delivery is organized so that the client can follow progress and see working software during the build.

Sectors and types of work

The firm's project history covers finance, retail, real estate, public-sector health and entertainment. Its approach is the same across these sectors: a management tool or web application shaped to the way a team works, with integration to the other systems the team already relies on.
