Local moving co. · Montréal
A client’s history lived in one rep’s head: when they were out, calls and follow-ups went missing.
One client file any rep can pick up cold, with follow-ups that run on their own so no lead goes quiet.
No context lost on a handoff, and far higher response rates from the human plus automated follow-up combo, so fewer leads slip through.
Year-over-year, same month:June 2025 → June 2026.
Pool installation co. · L’Assomption
Every quote was built by hand from scratch: about 30 minutes of prep before the client heard anything, and no two quotes alike.
Requests now come back as complete, consistent quotes in about 5 minutes: the rep just reviews and sends.
Clients now get an accurate quote within about five minutes of asking instead of waiting on manual prep, and every quote lands consistent.
Quote prep time,~30 min → ~5 min per quote (automated).
Post-production studio · Montréal
Posting a client’s media meant logging into every platform by hand and hoping nothing got missed.
Every channel now publishes from one workspace: each account connected once, everything scheduled in one place.
No more platform-by-platform logins. Delivery runs from one place, the connections stay authorised, and posting across every channel is consistent and quick.
Every client account connected once via OAuth; posting runs from one custom app.
How we work
A 20-minute call, video or phone, to see if we’re a good fit for each other. It’s where we scope the diagnostic, or point you to a better option than us.
We sit down with the people who see the leaks: the owner, the admin who sees every file, the ops lead. Within two weeks you get a report showing what’s working, where money slips out, and the first project worth starting.
We fix the process first: who does what, in what order, before a single tool gets involved.
We connect your tools and automate the repetitive steps, adding AI only where it earns its keep.
We run it, train your team, and keep it working, so it sticks instead of becoming a tool no one opens.
Start a 2,500$+ project within 60 days and the diagnostic comes off the bill.
More than ~10 full-timers? We scope it on the call.
Automation without process improvement just makes bad habits happen faster.
We work inside the tools you already pay for

Clover+ your toolThe people behind it
One of them ran his own business and saw the operational mess up close; the other has built automation systems for years. They build what they recommend and stay on to run it, so the work keeps moving without landing back on your desk.
Founder
Winner of the AQIII Prix de la relève, Québec’s 2026 award for rising independent IT consultants. Before advising other businesses, he owned and ran a money services business, an industry where licensing, AML checks, and reporting touch every transaction. He later spent years inside Harmony Movers, handling what owners actually face: hiring and firing, CNESST claims, keeping the accounting books up to date, answering sales calls, the daily scramble. His fixes come from sitting in that chair. Off the clock, video games are his péché mignon.
Partner
Philippe has worked in IT since 2014. In 2019 he joined TCG Process and built accounts-payable automation years before it was common, the kind of system where a dropped invoice means money actually goes missing. He came to ValStratis as a partner to bring that same low tolerance for slippage to small and mid-sized businesses: understand how a company actually runs, then automate the parts that quietly drain its time and money. Off the clock, he’s out on his bike.
Operating questions
Short answers for business leaders comparing automation and systems work without wanting a vendor circus.
We find where work, follow-ups, money, or information gets lost between your tools, then connect and fix the process underneath using the latest technology where it helps.
Service businesses and the teams that run them, where work moves through too many disconnected places, from sales and scheduling to bookkeeping and onboarding. If someone on the team is still the glue between systems, there is probably a leak worth diagnosing.
Yes. We work inside the tools you already own and connect them with named accounts and scoped access, so we do not copy your customer data into places it does not need to live. What we build runs on infrastructure you control or that we host in Montréal, kept in line with Québec’s Law 25 on personal information. Where AI touches customer records, everything is logged and supervised; it never decides on its own.
Yes. ValStratis is based in Montréal and works with service businesses across Québec, in English and French. We can work on-site in the Montréal area or remotely anywhere in the province, and what we host stays in Montréal under Québec’s Law 25.
The Operations Diagnostic is a fixed 1,250$ CAD + tax, for teams of about 10 full-time employees or fewer. Within about two weeks you get a report showing where you’re losing money, how much, and what to fix first. Any fixes are quoted from what it finds, so you decide with real numbers in hand. Start a 2,500$+ project within 60 days and the diagnostic comes off the bill. Bigger than that? We scope it on the call.
We sit down with the people who see how the work really moves: the owner, whoever runs the files, whoever runs operations. We follow your real calls, quotes, jobs, invoices, and follow-ups, and mark where each one stalls or slips. You get a written report: what's working, where money and time leak with the dollars attached, a prioritized list of fixes, and the first project worth starting. It lands within about two weeks.
Broken decisions, unclear ownership, sensitive customer moments, and exceptions nobody understands yet. Automating a messy process usually just makes the mess faster. We fix the route first, then automate the parts that are stable enough to trust.
Yes. We work with AI agents like OpenClaw and Hermes. We use Hermes in ValStratis’s daily operations, and our contributions have been accepted and merged into its GitHub repository. We also host and manage agent deployments for businesses and connect them to their existing tools.
