Ignited Nepal builds client portals, booking systems, intake tools, and internal dashboards for Canadian professional services, healthcare, real estate, and home services businesses. PIPEDA data handling requirements are documented in the technical specification before development begins, and you own the code when we are done.
Your accountants, lawyers, or consultants are exchanging documents, collecting information, and managing client relationships through a shared inbox and individual email threads. There is no centralised record of what has been sent, what has been received, and what is outstanding. A client portal built for your practice gives each client a secure space to upload documents, complete forms, and track the status of their matter, without adding coordination work for your team.
Your new patient intake process involves a PDF form emailed to the patient, printed, completed by hand, scanned, and emailed back, or handed over at the front desk. The information is then re-entered into your practice management system by a staff member. A web-based intake form collects the information digitally, validates it on submission, and feeds it directly into your system, with PIPEDA-compliant data handling documented from the start.
Your team is managing booking requests through phone calls, emails, and a shared calendar that is always slightly out of date. Appointments are double-booked. Confirmations are sent manually. Follow-ups are forgotten. A scheduling tool built around your specific service types, service areas, and team availability replaces the manual coordination with a system that handles the routine work automatically.
A manual process held together by spreadsheets and email works fine when the team is small and the volume is low. When the team grows or the volume increases, the same process becomes a source of errors, delays, and rework. The process itself is sound; the tool supporting it is not. A custom web application replaces the fragile manual layer with something that scales.
Canadian consumers and business clients in 2026 expect digital self-service: a secure portal to upload documents, a booking system that confirms immediately, a form that works on their phone. When your intake or onboarding process requires a PDF or a phone call, some clients work around it and some do not proceed. The gap between what clients expect and what your process delivers has a direct impact on conversion and retention.
PIPEDA requires that businesses have documented processes for how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and stored. Many small and mid-size businesses are collecting personal data through email, PDF forms, and spreadsheets without any formal documentation of how that data is handled. A custom web application built with PIPEDA requirements documented in the specification gives you a defensible, auditable record of your data handling practices.
Generic booking software, generic client portals, and generic intake forms are built for the most common version of your industry, not for the specific way your business operates. You are paying for features you do not use, missing features you need, and bending your process to fit a tool that was built for someone else. A custom application is built to fit your process exactly.
We run a structured workshop with your team to map the current workflow, identify what the application needs to do, and define the scope of the build. This session produces the inputs for the specification and is the foundation for everything that follows.
We document the application architecture, data models, user roles, workflow logic, and integration requirements. For Canadian clients, the specification includes a PIPEDA data handling and storage section covering what personal information the application collects, where it is stored, who has access, how long it is retained, and how it is deleted on request. The specification is signed off by your team before development begins.
We produce wireframes for every key screen and user journey before any development work begins. Your team reviews and approves the wireframes. Changes at the wireframe stage are fast and inexpensive; changes during development are neither.
We build the user-facing interface to the approved wireframes and your brand. This includes all client-facing views, admin interfaces, forms, dashboards, and navigation. For businesses serving both English and French-speaking clients, bilingual interface support is available.
We build the application logic, database architecture, and server infrastructure. This covers authentication and authorisation, data validation, business logic, automated notifications, and any workflow automation your process requires.
We connect your application to the tools your business already runs on: practice management systems, CRMs, accounting platforms, calendar tools, payment processors, and any other system with a usable API. Integration scope is defined in the specification before development begins.
We test every user journey before deployment. We fix issues before the application goes live. At handover, you receive the codebase, technical documentation, and a handover session that walks your team through everything they need to operate and maintain the application.
We spend 45 to 60 minutes with your team understanding the workflow you need the application to support, the tools it needs to connect to, and what a successful outcome looks like. At the end of the call, we give you a clear view of scope, timeline, and what the engagement involves.
We run the requirements workshop and produce the technical specification, including the PIPEDA data handling section. You review it, request any changes, and sign off before we proceed. No development begins without a signed specification.
Wireframes are approved before development begins. Development runs in iterative sprints with a staging environment you can review throughout. We communicate progress weekly and flag any decisions that arise during the build.
We test every user journey and fix any issues before deployment. On launch day, the application goes live on your infrastructure or ours. The handover session covers the application, the admin panel, the documentation, and any questions your team has.
A typical custom web application takes eight to fourteen weeks from signed specification to live deployment, depending on complexity and integration requirements. A single-role intake form with no external integrations is at the low end. A multi-role client portal with several API connections is at the higher end. The timeline is confirmed in the specification before development begins.
The technical specification includes a PIPEDA data handling and storage section that documents what personal information the application collects, the legal basis for collection, where data is stored, access controls, retention periods, and deletion procedures. This documentation supports your PIPEDA compliance obligations and is reviewed as part of the sign-off process. We do not provide legal advice, but we produce the technical documentation your legal or privacy counsel needs to review and approve.
Yes. Bilingual interface support is available for applications serving both English and French-speaking users. The bilingual requirement is documented in the specification, and all interface copy in both languages is reviewed and approved before development begins.
We assess integration requirements during the requirements workshop and document the integration approach in the specification. Most practice management systems, CRMs, accounting platforms, and calendar tools expose an API that allows data to be exchanged programmatically. Where an API is not available, we discuss alternative integration approaches during the workshop.
Post-launch additions are scoped and quoted as separate work. The technical documentation produced at handover is sufficient for your own developers to implement straightforward changes independently. For ongoing development, we offer a retainer arrangement that can be discussed at the handover stage.
Not a black box. Real specialists you can call, with their names on the work.
If your team is managing a client-facing or operational workflow through a combination of email, PDFs, and spreadsheets, a custom web application can replace that friction with software built exactly for your process. We cover PIPEDA data handling from the specification stage, we document everything, and you own the codebase when we are done. Start with a discovery call.
