About
Monkeylab is a Vancouver-based technology company that helps small and mid-sized businesses in Canada and the USA fix the work that slows them down.
Monkeylab was founded by a former Head of IT with more than 25 years across a range of industries. At a wireless-carrier franchise with more than 125 stores across eight states, that meant setting the IT strategy, managing the budget alongside the CFO and CEO, and leading more than 35 staff and 10 vendors. We bring that discipline to smaller companies in two ways: advice on technology and operations, and hands-on building when something needs fixing.
Our projects are small, fixed in scope and quick to start, and we explain every step in plain English. There are no hand-offs: the person you talk to is the person doing the work.
What we do
Five kinds of work
A · Build
Web applications and internal tools
Portals, dashboards and apps shaped to your process.
B · Automate
Operations automation
The repeat work between your tools, handled for you. A person approves anything that matters.
C · Connect
Systems integration
Your tools talk to each other, so information moves once instead of being retyped.
D · Advise
Technology and operations advisory
A second opinion from someone who has run IT at scale.
E · Secure
Security gap audit
A plain-English look at where your business is exposed, with the fixes ranked by what matters first.

FAQ
Questions we get
What happens on the free call?
Twenty minutes. You walk us through how a job runs, and within a day you get a one-page summary of where the time goes, using your own numbers. If there is nothing worth fixing, we will say so. The summary is yours either way.
What does it cost?
The assessment is free. After that we pick one workflow and agree scope and price in writing before any work starts. We do not quote savings before we have seen your numbers.
Can you advise without building anything?
Yes. Technology and operations advice is its own service: planning, vendor selection and a review of how work moves through your company. Sometimes the advice is that you do not need to build.
Do we have to replace the software we already use?
No. We connect the tools you already pay for so information moves once instead of being retyped. We build something new only when nothing you have does the job.
Where does AI come in?
Where it helps, we add AI to read, sort and draft, with limits you set. A person approves anything that matters.
Who do you work with, and where?
Teams of 10 to 200, starting with construction. We also work with accounting and bookkeeping firms and small professional practices across Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Sea to Sky, Vancouver Island, Washington and Oregon.
