AI & Technology Consulting — Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦

Your business runs on decisions.
We make them smarter.

You don't need a tech team to use AI — you just need the right partner. We work with businesses of every size and background to find where technology can save time, cut costs, and open doors you didn't know were there.

We meet you where you are

AI & Automation

Not sure where AI fits in your business? That's exactly where we start. We'll find the repetitive, time-consuming work that's costing you money and build tools to handle it — whether that's sorting invoices, answering common customer questions, or forecasting your busiest months.

Software & App Development

Still running your business on spreadsheets, paper forms, or a patchwork of tools that don't talk to each other? We build custom software that brings everything into one place — clean, simple, and built around how your team actually works.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Whether you're moving off a clunky server in the back office or scaling a system that's already in the cloud, we set up infrastructure that's reliable, secure, and right-sized — so you're not paying for capacity you don't need.

Data & Analytics

You're probably sitting on more useful data than you realize. We help you organize it, make sense of it, and turn it into dashboards and reports that actually help you make decisions — no data science degree required on your end.

Built for businesses that don't have a tech department

We speak your language

No jargon, no acronyms, no assuming you know what Kubernetes is. We explain everything in plain terms and make sure you understand exactly what you're getting before we build anything.

Budgets we respect

Big consultancies sell big projects. We scope work to what actually makes sense for your business — and we'll tell you honestly if something isn't worth the investment yet.

Quick wins first

We don't start with a six-month roadmap. We find the one or two things that'll make an immediate difference, deliver those, and grow from there.

A partner, not a vendor

We stick around after launch. When your needs change or something breaks at 9 PM, you're not calling a support line — you're calling the people who built it.

Small team. No layers. Direct access to the people doing the work.

We founded SHBV in 2021 because we kept seeing the same problem: small and mid-sized businesses either couldn't afford the big consulting firms, or hired them and ended up with solutions too complex for their team to actually use.

We're senior engineers who work directly with clients — no hand-offs, no rotating cast of junior developers. But more importantly, we've learned how to listen to people who aren't technical and translate what they need into technology that genuinely helps. Whether you're a 5-person operation that's never touched AI or a growing company ready to modernize, you get the same team, the same attention, and straight answers about what's worth building and what isn't.

How We Work

  • We tell you what we'd do if it were our money
  • Scope stays honest — if something's overkill, we'll say so
  • We stick around after launch to make sure it actually works

Not sure what you need? That's a perfectly good place to start.

You don't need a requirements doc or a technical brief. Just tell us what's slowing you down, what's eating up too much time, or what you wish your business could do better. We'll figure out the technology part together.
