Built right. Built secure. Built to scale.

Northern Vector Systems is a software development company in Calgary, Alberta. We design, build and run web and mobile applications that are tested line by line, secure by default and ready to grow with you.

What every project gets

Excellence

Every line is tested.

Each app ships with automated tests covering all of its code, and a change that drops coverage below 100% does not ship. Performance budgets are checked on every change too.

Security

Secure by default.

Two-factor sign-in and passkeys, audit logs, encrypted connections and secrets kept out of the code. Every new API route requires a signed-in user unless we deliberately open it.

Scalability

Ready for growth.

Paginated, rate-limited APIs, monitoring from the first deploy, and data systems proven at scale: the DFRDS warehouse holds more than seven billion blockchain records.

What we build

We take a product from the first sketch to production, then keep it running.

  • Web applications

    Customer portals, internal tools, dashboards and online stores, with sign-in, payments and admin screens built in.

  • Mobile apps

    Native mobile apps that share one backend with your web app, so accounts and data stay in sync.

  • Data platforms

    Pipelines that collect data around the clock, warehouses built for fast queries, and APIs that serve the results.

  • Integrations

    Stripe payments, Salesforce, email delivery and the other services your business already runs on.

  • Hosting and operations

    We deploy to AWS, set up monitoring and backups, and keep the system running after launch.
