AI & Automation · Regina

With roughly 4,400 Regina-area jobs going unfilled and a skills mismatch costing the local economy more than $500 million a year, AI-driven automation isn't a futuristic nice-to-have here — it's a practical way to get more output from the team you can actually hire.

Doing business in Regina

Regina's economy is expected to grow faster than the national average, with real GDP forecast to rise 2.5% in 2025 and unemployment expected to fall to 5.3%, even as the city's population climbs toward a projected 293,000 residents. That growth touches nearly every corner of the local economy, from the steel mills and heavy-equipment manufacturers around Ross Industrial Park to the agribusiness and agri-food processors moving Saskatchewan's grain and canola, to the financial services and insurance firms headquartered downtown. It's a good time to be doing business here — but growth on paper doesn't automatically show up on your books.

The bigger obstacle isn't demand, it's people. Economic Development Regina estimates that roughly 4,400 unfilled jobs across the city cost the local economy close to $500 million a year, including about $428 million in unrealized employment income and $54 million in unrealized tax revenue. On top of that sits a persistent skills mismatch between the workers available and the roles employers actually need filled, itself estimated to cost the region more than $500 million annually. If you've spent the last year trying to hire for a role in manufacturing, agri-food processing, or financial services and come up short, this isn't news to you.

Meanwhile, the sectors Regina depends on are managing real headwinds. Steel and heavy industrial manufacturing, energy and resource processing at the Co-op Refinery Complex and in potash processing, and agribusiness anchored by names like Viterra, Cargill, and Bayer CropScience are all navigating trade uncertainty and geopolitical tensions flagged in Economic Development Regina's 2025 outlook. Cargill's $350 million investment in a new canola crush plant is a strong signal for the region, but it doesn't erase the pressure smaller suppliers and processors feel. Downtown, office vacancy sits around 13% citywide and closer to 15% downtown in 2025 — better than the 17-18% highs of a couple of years ago, but still a real headwind for businesses in Cathedral Village, the Regina Warehouse District, and the Downtown Business Improvement District competing for customers and tenants.

This is where an AI-first software and automation studio earns its keep. Global Maple System builds custom software, business websites, and workflow automation for Regina companies that need to do more with the team they already have — a manufacturer near the Global Transportation Hub automating order processing, a financial services or insurance firm streamlining back-office work, or a Warehouse District retailer that needs a website built to convert. We build alongside the institutions already investing in this city's growth, from the University of Regina's Paul J. Hill School of Business and Saskatchewan Polytechnic to the Regina & District Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Regina, because a stronger local talent and technology base is good for every business here, including yours.

What we build

For Regina's key industries

Steel and heavy industrial manufacturing

Regina's steel and heavy industrial base — anchored by employers like EVRAZ Regina, Brandt Group of Companies, and Degelman Industries — runs on production schedules, maintenance cycles, and supply chains that don't tolerate guesswork. Custom software can tie together inventory, work orders, and equipment tracking so fewer things fall through the cracks, while automation handles the repetitive data entry and reporting that eats into skilled workers' time. In a sector already stretched thin by hiring shortages, freeing your best people from manual admin work is one of the fastest ways to add capacity without adding headcount.

Agribusiness and agri-food processing

With Viterra, Cargill, and Bayer CropScience all active in the region — and Cargill now investing $350 million in a new canola crush plant — Regina's agribusiness sector is scaling fast. That growth creates real operational strain: more volume moving through the same processing, logistics, and quality-control systems. We build software that tracks product through processing and shipment, automates reporting for regulatory and customer requirements, and gives operations teams visibility without another spreadsheet. For agri-food processors navigating trade uncertainty, reliable, real-time data on what's moving where is a genuine advantage.

Energy and resource processing

Regina's energy and resource processing sector, including the Co-op Refinery Complex and the region's potash processing operations, faces the trade uncertainty and geopolitical headwinds flagged in Economic Development Regina's 2025 outlook. Software won't remove those external pressures, but it can tighten the operations you do control — maintenance scheduling, safety and compliance reporting, supply and logistics tracking. We build systems that give plant and operations managers a clearer, faster view of what's happening on site, so decisions get made on current data instead of yesterday's report.

Financial services and insurance

Regina is home to a substantial financial services and insurance sector — SGI, Conexus, Co-operators, Farm Credit Canada, and Greystone Managed Investments all have a presence here. These are businesses built on accuracy, compliance, and client trust, which makes manual, error-prone back-office processes a real liability. We build internal tools and automation that handle document processing, client onboarding workflows, and reporting, cutting the manual work that slows teams down and introduces risk, while keeping the client-facing experience sharp.

Transportation and logistics

The Global Transportation Hub has positioned Regina as a genuine inland port, and that only works if the software behind it keeps pace with the freight moving through it. We build tracking, scheduling, and inventory systems that give logistics and transportation businesses real-time visibility into shipments and warehouse operations, plus automation that cuts down the manual coordination between dispatch, warehouse, and customer-facing teams. For businesses operating out of the GTH or the Regina Warehouse District, that visibility is often the difference between a smooth week and a scramble.

How we help

Built for Regina businesses

Automation That Multiplies Your Existing Team

With roughly 4,400 jobs going unfilled across Regina and no guarantee the next hire shows up soon, we build workflow automation that lets your current staff handle more — order processing, reporting, data entry — without adding headcount you can't find.

Custom Internal Software & Systems

The skills mismatch costing the Regina-area economy an estimated $500 million a year means the people you can hire don't always have the experience the role demands. We build internal tools that bake your processes and institutional knowledge into the software itself, so new hires ramp up faster and make fewer costly mistakes.

Operations & Supply Chain Dashboards

Manufacturing and energy exporters here are navigating real trade uncertainty and geopolitical headwinds, per Economic Development Regina's 2025 outlook. We build dashboards that pull your production, inventory, and shipping data into one place, so you can react to changing conditions with current numbers instead of a week-old spreadsheet.

Websites & Digital Storefronts

Downtown Regina's office and commercial vacancy is still elevated — around 13-15% in 2025 — even as it slowly recovers from prior highs. A strong website and online presence helps businesses in Cathedral Village, the Warehouse District, and the Downtown Business Improvement District compete for customers and foot traffic while that recovery plays out.

Process Automation to Manage Rising Costs

With average home prices forecast to grow roughly 9% in 2025 and operating costs climbing alongside them, every hour of manual work you can automate is money back in the business. We find the repetitive processes eating your team's time and automate them, so rising costs don't have to mean rising headcount.

Regina questions, answered

Yes. Most of our work is with small and mid-sized businesses across Regina's industrial parks, warehouse district, and downtown core, not just the city's largest employers. Software and automation often make the biggest difference for smaller teams that don't have a dedicated IT department.

It won't fill an open position for you, but it can reduce how many positions you need filled in the first place. With an estimated 4,400 unfilled jobs across the Regina area, automating the repetitive parts of a role — data entry, reporting, order processing — lets your existing team absorb more work.

No. We work with businesses across Regina, including the Global Transportation Hub, Ross Industrial Park, the Regina Warehouse District, Cathedral Village, and downtown, as well as remotely with companies outside the city.

Software can't control trade policy, but it can give you faster visibility into your own production, inventory, and shipping data, so you can adjust quickly as conditions change instead of finding out weeks later. That kind of operational clarity is one of the more direct ways to manage risk you don't control.

We start with a conversation about your business, your team, and where manual work or outdated systems are actually costing you time and money. From there we scope a project around the outcome you need, whether that's a custom internal tool, a business website, or a specific automation, rather than selling you a fixed package that may not fit.
