Innovating in Saskatchewan: How Custom Software Is Powering Resilient Business Growth

By Owl Logic LabsJuly 15, 2025

Amid a digital talent shortage (over 30% of employers report skill gaps), manual operations, and growing pressure to operate sustainably, Saskatchewan businesses are rethinking how to grow. Custom software is now a strategic tool to boost productivity, connectivity, and resilience.

Innovating in Saskatchewan: How Custom Software Is Powering Resilient Business Growth

Why Saskatchewan Is Investing in Custom Technology

Key sectors like agriculture, mining, and logistics face very specific challenges: remote operations, lack of tech talent, and legacy manual processes. Custom solutions allow automation without losing identity, integration with existing equipment, and offline capabilities for scalable, efficient growth. Technology is no longer optional—it's essential.

Data That Highlights the Urgency

Automation to Sustain Productivity

60% of farms still rely on manual recordkeeping, leading to human errors, delays, and a lack of real-time performance tracking.

Demand for Smarter Connectivity

Only 48% of rural households in Canada have reliable high-speed internet, making hybrid offline/online software a necessity in rural operations.

Digital Talent Shortage

Over 30% of employers in Saskatchewan struggle to find talent with skills in data analysis, automation, cloud, or artificial intelligence.

Growth in the Tech Sector

Tech employment has grown by more than 100% since 2019 in Saskatchewan—especially in Saskatoon and Regina.
