Shan is not a career developer turned consultant. He's a business operator who has started companies from scratch, navigated regulatory environments, raised capital, managed vendors and customers, and built teams. He now builds AI-powered automation tools that solve real business problems because he has lived those problems firsthand.

What We Build

Three ways to work together

No templates. No cookie-cutter systems. Every engagement starts with understanding how your business actually operates - and what's eating up your team's time.

01
Custom Automation Builds

End-to-end development of workflow automation platforms built specifically for your business. Client document collection, intake forms with automated follow-ups, internal process tools, client-facing portals.

Project-based
02
AI Integration

Connect AI capabilities - chatbots, document analysis, automated responses, AI assistants - into the workflows you already have. Built for businesses that know they need AI but aren't sure where to start.

Consulting + Build
03
Ongoing Support

Post-build maintenance, new features, and continuous improvement. For clients who want a long-term partner rather than a one-time vendor.

Ongoing Partnership
How It Works

From first conversation to working software

No guesswork. No bloated proposals. Every engagement starts with a direct conversation about your actual situation.

01
Discovery Call

We talk through your business, your workflows, and what's costing you time. No sales deck, no pressure. If automation makes sense for your situation, we'll know by the end of it.

02
Clear Proposal

You receive a fixed-price proposal scoped to exactly what you need. No hidden costs. No SaaS subscriptions. You know what you're getting before a single line of code is written.

03
Build and Launch

Modern AI-assisted development delivers in days what traditional dev teams take weeks to complete. You get a working, tested system - ready to use from day one.

FAQ

Common questions

What is workflow automation for small business?
Workflow automation replaces repetitive manual tasks - like chasing clients for documents, sending follow-up emails, or copying data between systems - with software that does it automatically. For small and medium-sized businesses, this means your team spends time on work that actually requires human judgment, not administrative tasks a computer can handle.
What does Shanlytic AI build?
Shanlytic AI builds custom automation systems tailored to your specific business. This includes document collection and e-signature workflows, client intake forms with automated follow-ups, internal process tools, client-facing portals, and AI-powered assistants. Every build is scoped to your actual situation - not a template.
How much does a custom automation build cost?
Projects typically range from $1,200 to $15,000 CAD depending on scope and complexity. Every engagement starts with a free discovery call to understand what you need. You receive a fixed-price proposal before any work begins - no surprises and no hidden costs.
How long does a build take?
Most projects are delivered in days to a few weeks - not months. AI-assisted development significantly compresses timelines compared to traditional software development. A simple automation can be built and deployed in as little as a week.
Do I need technical knowledge to use what Shanlytic AI builds?
No. Everything Shanlytic AI builds is designed for business operators, not developers. You get a working system that your team can use from day one, with no technical background required.
What kinds of businesses does Shanlytic AI work with?
Any small or medium-sized business that is losing time to manual work, repetitive tasks, or disconnected tools. The common thread is not the industry - it is the problem: processes that should be automated but are not.
Where is Shanlytic AI located and do you work with clients outside Canada?
Shanlytic AI is based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and works with clients across North America - both Canada and the United States.
