Canadian digital consultancy

We help you carry the technical load.

Tumpline helps growing teams use technology — and AI — sensibly. Better tools, lower costs, and nothing that leaves your control unless you want it to. No big-agency overhead.

What we do

Four ways we lighten the load.

We start with the problem, not the product. Most teams need less than a vendor will sell them — so we build only what earns its keep.

01

VMware Exit

Broadcom changed the math on your renewal. We inventory the estate, design the landing zone, and execute the migration before the next invoice lands.

02

Ingress Retirement

End-of-life NGINX is a liability with a date on it. We replace aging ingress with supported, automated alternatives — without breaking what sits behind it.

03

Cloud Bill Audit

Two weeks with your billing data. You get a prioritized savings plan you can act on the day we hand it over.

04

Platform & Infrastructure as Code

CI/CD pipelines that actually work for your engineers. We codify your infrastructure and build delivery platforms your team can run without us.

How we work

We bring you what we use ourselves.

Tumpline runs lean on the same tools and automations we set up for clients. If something doesn't make us faster or cheaper, we don't keep it — and we won't sell it to you.

That's the whole pitch: we've already done the homework on our own time, so you get practical answers instead of a sales process.

Private & local AI, when it matters

Some work shouldn't leave the building. We can run AI models on your own hardware so sensitive data stays in-house — no cloud, no third parties, no surprises. It's good for privacy, and often good for the bill too.

the name
tump·line
/ˈtʌmplaɪn/  ·  noun

A strap worn across the forehead or chest to carry a heavy load.

For centuries, Indigenous peoples and voyageurs across Canada used the tumpline to move more with less strain — distributing weight so the body could go further. A fitting name for taking the technical weight off your team so it can keep moving.

Who you'll work with

A small shop with a lot of mileage.

We're a Canadian team with years behind us in SaaS, web development, and consulting. We've sat on both sides of the table — building products and buying them — and spent that time solving unusual problems with practical, sometimes unconventional, solutions.

No layers, no account managers, no upsell. Just experienced hands and straight answers — and the discipline to tell you when the simplest fix is the right one.
