Business modernization and technology consulting
for small and mid-sized businesses.
Remote across Canada.
Better ways of working, and the technology to back them.
AMPL Advisory helps owners and small to medium teams fix how work moves, choose and modernize the systems they rely on, use AI and automation where it helps, and get important projects over the line.
Who we help
We work with independent professionals, business owners, and teams who want to improve how they operate or need help making an important change.
That can look different from one business to another. For example:
Independent professionals and online businesses
A consultant, designer, or online retailer bringing client enquiries, administration, and business tools into a more manageable setup.
Shops, restaurants, and businesses with several locations
A retailer or restaurant group improving how ordering, staff handovers, information, and day-to-day procedures work across locations.
Professional-services firms
An accounting, legal, or consulting practice improving client intake, document handling, scheduling, and follow-ups.
Trades and service businesses
A contractor or service company connecting enquiries, estimates, scheduling, job records, and invoicing.
Startups and growing teams
A business putting clearer processes and suitable systems in place as its customers, workload, and team grow.
Owners managing or acquiring businesses
An owner assessing existing operations and technology, bringing different ways of working together, or planning the next stage of improvement.
What we do
We help businesses improve how they work, make better technology decisions, and put important changes into practice.

Understand how your operation works, identify what needs attention, and improve the processes your business relies on.
ExploreAI & Automation
Identify useful applications, automate recurring tasks, and introduce AI with clear responsibilities and ways to check its work.
ExploreTechnology & Modernization
Choose and improve business systems, connect tools, and plan changes involving cloud services, web applications, and other digital capabilities.
ExploreProject Management & Change
Plan and lead important initiatives, get stalled work moving, and help people adopt new systems and ways of working.
Why AMPL exists
Between the hype and the skepticism.
Large organizations have project managers, analysts and architects to work out which technology to adopt and how. Most smaller businesses have the owner, a busy team, and advice from people selling something.
AMPL brings enterprise project, process, and technology experience to smaller businesses, together with the practical perspective of business ownership and managing day-to-day operations.
Our approach also draws on education in psychology, philosophy and logic, project management, cloud development, and cloud DevOps. That combination shapes how we understand people, examine a problem, assess the options, and carry a decision through into practice.
We explain the possibilities in plain language and work with you to make useful improvements.
