Ship Faster. Scale Smarter. Build the Future.
We engineer high-performance, visually striking mobile applications for Canadian startups and enterprises ready to dominate their market.
Full-Stack Mobile Capabilities
From concept to App Store, we handle every layer — design, development, deployment, and beyond.
Native iOS & Android
We write optimized native code for both platforms — buttery-smooth performance, platform-specific UX, and bulletproof reliability.
Cross-Platform Development
React Native and Flutter expertise to ship to both iOS and Android simultaneously without sacrificing the feel of a native app.
AI & ML Integration
Embed intelligent features — recommendations, computer vision, NLP chatbots — directly into your app experience.
Enterprise Security
PIPEDA-compliant data handling, end-to-end encryption, and rigorous penetration testing — built for Canada's strictest industries.
Growth & Analytics
Deep analytics pipelines, A/B testing frameworks, and growth tooling baked in from day one so every decision is data-driven.
Rapid MVP Launch
Idea to live App Store product in 10–14 weeks. Our sprint-based MVP track gets you to market before your competitors can blink.
Our Build Process — No Guesswork
Every engagement follows our battle-tested five-phase framework. Transparent milestones, continuous delivery, and zero surprises — from kickoff to launch day.
Discovery & Strategy
We dig into your market, users, and competitive landscape to define the app's core value proposition and technical architecture.
UI/UX Design
Pixel-perfect interactive prototypes that validate user flows before a single line of production code is written.
Agile Development
Two-week sprints with working demos after every cycle. You see real progress, not just status updates.
QA & Testing
Automated test suites plus manual QA on real devices across a broad Canadian device matrix before any release.
Launch & Scale
App Store submission, go-live monitoring, post-launch support, and an ongoing roadmap to keep growing after day one.
Built in Canada.
Engineered for the World.
FORKLIFT CORP. was founded by engineers who got tired of watching brilliant Canadian founders get burned by offshore dev shops that promised the world and delivered broken builds six months behind schedule.
We set out to prove that a Canadian studio could out-ship, out-design, and out-engineer anyone — anywhere. Eight years and 120+ apps later, we're proud to say we've done exactly that. Our team of designers, engineers, and product strategists operates from coast to coast, bringing deep knowledge of the Canadian tech ecosystem, regulatory landscape, and consumer behaviour to every project we take on.
"We don't build apps. We build competitive advantages — the kind that keep customers coming back and competitors up at night."

Your Questions, Answered
Straight talk on how we work, what it costs, and what you can expect.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A focused MVP typically ships in 10–14 weeks. A full-featured enterprise app can take 4–8 months. We'll give you a precise timeline after your discovery session — no guesswork, no vague estimates.
Do you work with startups or only enterprises?
Both. Our Rapid MVP program is purpose-built for early-stage startups with lean budgets and aggressive timelines. Our Enterprise track handles complex, multi-platform systems for larger organizations across Canada.
What does mobile app development cost?
MVPs typically start around $40,000 CAD. Full enterprise applications range from $150,000 to $500,000+ CAD. We provide detailed fixed-scope quotes after discovery — you always know exactly what you're paying for.
Will my app comply with Canadian privacy laws?
Absolutely. Canadian compliance is built in by default — PIPEDA, PHIPA for health apps, FINTRAC for fintech, and Quebec's Law 25. We work with legal counsel to ensure your app meets all applicable regulations.
What happens after my app launches?
We offer flexible post-launch support ranging from monitoring-only to full ongoing development retainers. Most clients engage us for a 6–12 month roadmap after launch to keep shipping features and optimizing performance.
Do we own the source code and IP?
Yes. Full source code and all IP transfers to you upon final payment. No lock-in, no licensing fees, no dependency on us to operate your own product. What we build is unambiguously yours.
