The problem

Your master Excel is a person, not a file.

It got you from S$2M to S$10M. It will not get you to S$30M. When the person who maintains it goes on leave, the business slows down.

Quotation cycle drag

Custom-spec quotes take two days because pricing lives in one senior staff member’s head and one master sheet. Competitors with a real pricing engine quote in two minutes.

Production status fog

Updates live in WhatsApp groups, supplier emails, and notes on the shop floor. Your production manager becomes the human API for "where’s my order?".

Supplier coordination chaos

Six subcons across three time zones, three languages, no shared view. Every status update is a phone call. Every miscommunication is a missed deadline.

What we build

We do not sell modules.
We build the system your workflow needs.

01 Map
Workflow, roles, spreadsheets, exceptions.
02 Build
The smallest system that removes the bottleneck.
03 Hand over
Training, source ownership, extension path.
Workflow surface
Custom pricing engines

B2B pricing with customer-tier rates, multi-form products, and live recalculation. The senior salesperson stops being the calculator.

Workflow surface
Multi-portal ops platforms

Admin, customer, and supplier surfaces with role-scoped views and one shared source of truth. The "where’s my order?" question answers itself.

Workflow surface
Supplier coordination layers

Multi-language supplier portals, structured POs, status updates that flow back into your production view. Suppliers self-serve instead of calling.

Why Start Canyon

Not no-code. Not SAP. Not a freelancer who ghosts.

Manufacturing-specific

We do not build generic web apps. We build for SG manufacturers, with case studies to prove it.

Productized engagement

Paid discovery first. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Six to twelve weeks. No scope creep, no agency-style surprises.

Singapore-based

We visit your factory. We know JTC, Tuas, Loyang. We are fluent in PSG, EDG, InvoiceNow.

You own the code

TanStack Start + Postgres on infrastructure you control. Any senior developer in Singapore can extend the system later.
