Fort McMurray serves the oil sands and Grande Prairie is the main centre of the northwest. Work in both often happens far from reliable signal. Glasshead Tech builds websites, offline field apps and paperwork automation for northern contractors and service firms, delivered remotely from Edmonton at published prices.

Fort McMurray serves the oil sands, and work there passes through layers of contractors and subcontractors. Each layer adds field tickets, timesheets and invoices that have to agree before anyone is paid. That matching is exactly the kind of paperwork software and automation handle well.
Grande Prairie is the main centre of the northwest. A firm with its office there and crews spread across the region needs scheduling, dispatch and job records that crews can read offline, so the office stays informed without a round of phone calls.
On remote sites and in camps, coverage can vanish for a whole shift. The field apps we build save every entry on the device, queue photos and signatures, and sync once a connection returns, so no record depends on signal at the moment it is made.
Rotational schedules mean the person who learned the system last month may be off when the next update lands. Short recorded training and screens that explain themselves let a new hand get going at camp, without waiting for someone from the office.
Glasshead Tech does app development in Edmonton for field teams that work without signal: web apps for the office and mobile apps for crews, built offline-first so forms, photos and signatures save on the device and sync later. Apps cost $18,000 to $50,000 CAD, take 8 to 16 weeks and are quoted at a fixed price first.
Glasshead Tech does custom software development in Edmonton, building the systems Alberta companies run daily operations on: quoting, scheduling, job costing, safety documentation, field capture, client portals and booking. Builds cost $18,000 to $50,000 CAD and take 8 to 16 weeks, with a fixed quote before coding starts. You own the code, data and accounts at handover.
Glasshead Tech builds business automation for Alberta companies, so nobody re-keys data between the tools they already pay for: quotes become invoices, web enquiries land in the CRM with an owner, and reports assemble on schedule. Each rule-based workflow costs from $2,500 CAD, takes two to four weeks and is quoted fixed before work starts.
Glasshead Tech does website design in Edmonton for businesses that want to edit their own site: custom, planned around what buyers ask, on an editor your team learns at handover, with on-page SEO, forms and analytics included. Projects cost $4,500 to $12,000 CAD, take four to six weeks and are quoted at a fixed price first.
Glasshead Tech provides IT support in Edmonton for teams of 3 to 40, covering Microsoft 365 administration, patching and monitoring, backups with tested restores, multi-factor authentication, onboarding and offboarding, and a help desk by email and phone. Ongoing care starts from $300 a month, cancel anytime, with the scope agreed in writing.
Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie
Web design for Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie clients is priced like every Glasshead Tech website: $4,500 – $12,000, with 4–6 weeks from kickoff to launch. The site loads quickly on weak connections, states your services and coverage area plainly, and sends quote requests straight to the office inbox, wherever the owner happens to be working.
For a contractor or service company, the site mostly has to answer three things fast: what you do, where you work and how to reach someone. Because the website design is built for your office to edit, crew details, equipment lists and safety program notes stay current between rotations without a call to us.
Yes. Field apps we build are offline-tolerant from the first screen. Hazard assessments, job tickets, timesheets and photos save to the phone or tablet, then sync when the device reaches a connection. Controls are sized for gloved hands. These offline field apps sit in our Operational software band, $18,000 – $50,000 over 8–16 weeks.
Safety paperwork is usually the first thing to move off paper. Under Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation, employers must assess hazards before work begins, COR audits look for proof that your program is followed, and injuries may need reporting to WCB-Alberta. We build forms around your own program and keep each record against the job and worker. None of this is legal advice; the oilfield services software page has more.
By capturing each ticket once and letting automation carry it forward. A signed field ticket can create the invoice line, match it to the purchase order and post to QuickBooks or Excel without retyping. Simple business automation starts from $2,500 per workflow over 2–4 weeks, and AI document reading starts from $3,500.
Prime contractors can run the same flow in reverse: incoming subcontractor invoices are checked against approved tickets, and anything that does not match goes to a person for review. Nothing financial is approved by software alone. AI document reading relies on outside model providers, some of which process data outside Canada, and we tell you which provider and region each step uses.
Every stage happens by call, screen share and test build. We start with a discovery call, send a fixed quote, then design with your office and a few crew members. Before launch the app is tested on real devices in real conditions, on site and at camp. Every question gets a reply within 24 hours.
Our on-site visits stay within the Edmonton region, so northern projects are planned to need none. If your team is in Edmonton for other business, a working session can be booked around the trip. After launch, the code, the data and every admin account belong to your business, and ongoing care is available from $150/month.
Glasshead Tech builds software for Alberta oilfield services companies, used by crews on the lease: digital field tickets signed on site, field level hazard assessments, time and equipment tracking, subcontractor invoice flow and document control, all usable offline. Most systems sit in our $18,000 – $50,000 software band, take eight to sixteen weeks and start with a fixed quote.
Glasshead Tech, based in Edmonton, builds software for Alberta contractors that crews actually use on site: quoting, scheduling and dispatch, job costing, and safety forms captured on a phone that works offline. Custom systems run $18,000 – $50,000 over 8–16 weeks with a fixed quote first; contractor websites run $4,500 – $12,000 over 4–6 weeks.
Glasshead Tech builds logistics software for Edmonton carriers, couriers and distributors: dispatch and scheduling, driver apps that work offline, proof of delivery with photos and signatures, customer tracking pages and invoicing from completed jobs. A dispatch and driver system sits in the $18,000 – $50,000 software band and takes eight to sixteen weeks, fixed-quoted first.
Expect $4,500 – $12,000 for a business website, live in 4–6 weeks. The price and scope are fixed in writing before work starts, and the whole project runs remotely, so being in Fort McMurray rather than Edmonton does not change the cost. Ongoing care is optional, from $150/month.
Plan on 8–16 weeks within the $18,000 – $50,000 band. A first release covering one or two forms, such as hazard assessments and field tickets, sits toward the shorter end. Apps with approvals, several roles and accounting links take longer. The quote fixes both scope and price before we begin.
Yes. Grande Prairie clients work with us exactly as Fort McMurray clients do: remotely, with video calls, shared screens and test builds on your own devices. Websites, field apps, automation and IT support are all available, at the same published prices we charge in Edmonton.
Site travel outside the Edmonton region is not part of our approach, because northern projects are designed to run remotely. Legal advice, compliance certifications and specialist security testing sit outside our scope, and we point you to specialists for those. If you advertise on Google, the ad spend is paid directly and is not in our fee.
It keeps the records those processes depend on: hazard assessments, inspections, incident reports and corrective actions, dated, signed and filed against the job. Exports are ready for a COR audit or a client's own review. The app supports your safety program rather than replacing it, and your safety lead stays in charge of the content.
Glasshead Tech does web design for Edmonton businesses and publishes the range up front: $4,500 to $12,000, four to six weeks to launch. The same Edmonton studio builds custom software and AI automation and runs IT support. Discovery happens in person or by video, the quote is fixed first, and replies come within 24 hours.
Glasshead Tech does web design for Fort Saskatchewan contractors, fabricators and suppliers: a business website costs $4,500 – $12,000 and launches in 4–6 weeks. Safety documentation, field capture and quoting software costs $18,000 – $50,000 over 8–16 weeks. We work from Edmonton, visit when it helps and fix the quote before work starts.
Glasshead Tech does web design for St. Albert owner-operators competing with Edmonton results in local search. A website costs $4,500 to $12,000 and takes four to six weeks. Local search, including your Google Business Profile, starts at $1,000 a month, and IT support at $300 a month. Quotes are fixed, with replies within 24 hours.
Describe the forms, tickets or invoices that slow you down in a few lines. We reply within 24 hours and send a fixed quote, and the whole project can run without anyone leaving site.
