App Development Company in Vancouver

Vancouver's other engineering option

Vancouver's problem isn't talent, it's price. Local engineers are excellent and everyone wants them — the game studios in Burnaby, the VFX houses that follow film work up from Los Angeles, the e-commerce brands scaling out of Gastown offices. GTS Infosoft is the other option: a 16-year-old India studio that builds your product remotely, at senior rates from about CAD 27 an hour, and says plainly that we have no Vancouver office.

Pacific Time is the stretch case for offshore work, so let's be straight about it: you get roughly three hours of live overlap, and it lands in your morning. We spend that window on standups, demos and any decision that can't wait, then build while you sleep. A blocker you flag at 10 AM is usually resolved code by the time you're back at your desk.

The rest of the pitch is track record. Sixteen years, 250-plus shipped apps, 100-plus clients, ISO 9001:2015 certification — which in practice means requirements written down, testing traceable, and handovers your ops lead can actually use. We've built for funded startups guarding an unannounced product and for established brands mid-replatform. Vancouver's mix of both suits us.

What We Build for Vancouver Companies

Game-adjacent products
companion apps, community platforms, LiveOps dashboards and backend services — the software next to the game, built while your core team ships the game.
E-commerce platforms
storefronts, subscriptions, loyalty and inventory sync for DTC brands that treat a launch weekend as make-or-break.
Cleantech dashboards
monitoring, reporting and IoT data interfaces for hydrogen, energy-storage and emissions ventures raising on measurable results.
Mobile apps
Swift and Kotlin natively, Flutter and React Native when a startup budget says one codebase.
AI features
chat, search, document processing and prediction built on Python and OpenAI, shipped into production rather than left in a notebook.

Why Vancouver Businesses Choose GTS

Pricing that survives Vancouver overhead
senior engineering from about CAD 27 an hour, in a city where salaries chase the game studios and rent chases everything else.
Three honest hours of overlap
Pacific is the tightest zone for offshore and we say so. You get a dependable morning window for live calls, then overnight progress.
Sixteen years of shipping
250-plus apps, 100-plus clients, ISO 9001:2015 process discipline. We've outlasted several generations of frameworks.
Confidentiality as default
NDAs before specs, access controls on repos, full IP assignment — habits formed working with clients who guard unannounced products.

Industries We Know in Vancouver

Games and interactive
Vancouver and Burnaby form one of North America's oldest game clusters. We build the tooling and services around titles — not the engine, the ecosystem.
Film, TV and VFX
Production follows the tax credits north, and every production needs software: review tools, asset trackers, scheduling and crew apps.
Cleantech and climate
BC's hydrogen and clean-energy companies need data platforms that make pilots legible to investors and regulators. That's dashboard and integration work — squarely our trade.
E-commerce and DTC brands
This is the city that exported athleisure to the planet. Its current crop of brands needs storefronts, retention tooling and analytics built fast and priced to allow experiments.
Startups
From Railtown offices to remote-first teams, Vancouver founders raise smaller rounds than the Valley does. Offshore rates are how those rounds ship a real product.

How We Work With Vancouver Clients

A deliberate overlap window
we plan the week so decisions, demos and blockers land in your Pacific morning; everything else moves async with written updates.
Engagement models that flex
fixed-scope, dedicated team or staff augmentation, switchable as your roadmap firms up.
No black box
shared source control from day one, boards you can read, weekly reporting on progress and spend.
Handover you own
discovery and a fixed estimate up front, complete IP and code transfer at the end. If you ever leave, you leave with everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have an office in Vancouver?

No, and we won't rent a mailbox to suggest otherwise. We're an India-based studio serving Vancouver remotely. You get about three hours of live overlap each Pacific morning, plus overnight delivery on everything discussed in it.

Is Pacific Time actually workable with a team in India?

It's the tightest overlap of any North American zone, so we're deliberate about it: blockers and decisions are queued for the shared morning window, and the rest runs on written handoffs. Clients who try the rhythm for a sprint usually keep it.

How do your rates compare with Vancouver shops?

Senior engineering from about CAD 27 an hour — roughly USD 20 — against the CAD 120-plus local agencies typically charge. For a six-month build, that difference is often the whole budget for a second product.

We're a game studio. Can you handle confidentiality around unannounced titles?

Yes. NDAs are signed before anything is shared, repository access is need-to-know, and we never publish logos or case studies without written permission. Several long-term clients have never appeared anywhere on our site — by their choice.

Can you take over an existing codebase?

Often that's how engagements start. We run a paid audit first — architecture, test coverage, the honest state of things — then quote the takeover with eyes open on both sides.

What clients say

“Navratan and his team made the app exactly as we wanted/hoped and were great about making any changes we requested along the way. It really looks perfect and we couldn't be happier!”
