Clinics, brokerages, and hospitality groups across Ottawa lose hours a week to manual intake, follow-up, and reporting. We automate it — integrated with the systems you already run, built by a team based in the city.
Picture a multi-chair dental clinic in Westboro losing hours a week to manual recall scheduling and intake form chasing. Automating intake form delivery and completion tracking, recall reminders tied to treatment history, and no-show follow-up (synced with a system like Dentrix) frees front-desk staff to spend their time with patients in the chair, not on the phone chasing paperwork.
Picture a boutique brokerage in Nepean manually following up on every showing request and listing inquiry across three different lead sources. Connecting the CRM (a tool like Follow Up Boss) and automating the follow-up sequence, instant response to new inquiries, showing coordination with sellers and buyers' agents, and post-showing feedback requests, frees agents to spend their time closing, not chasing.
Picture a small downtown hospitality group running two locations, reconciling reservations, covers, and inventory manually across spreadsheets every week. Automating the reporting pipeline — nightly reservation and covers data pulled from the POS (a system like Toast), inventory variance flagged automatically, and a Monday-morning ownership report — means nobody has to touch a spreadsheet to get there.

Yes — NerdSnipe is headquartered in Ottawa and has been since 2019. We're not a national or US firm with an Ottawa sales contact; the team that scopes and builds your automation works out of the city.
Yes. We build automation for intake form delivery and tracking, recall scheduling tied to treatment or visit history, appointment reminders, and no-show follow-up, integrated with practice management systems like Dentrix. Front-desk time savings from automation like this typically show up within the first couple of weeks of go-live.
Yes. We build automation for listing follow-up, showing coordination, and post-showing feedback for boutique Ottawa brokerages, typically integrated with CRMs like Follow Up Boss or similar platforms. The goal is instant response to every inquiry regardless of which lead source it came from.
Most first automation projects for Ottawa clinics, brokerages, or hospitality businesses run $275–$2,500 CAD to build, with ongoing tool and support costs of $75–$1,200/month. The exact figure depends on how many systems need to be integrated and how much of the workflow follows predictable rules versus requiring judgment.
Yes — we work with clients across Nepean, Westboro, Kanata, and the wider National Capital Region, and delivery is largely remote once the initial scoping is done, so location within the region isn't a practical limitation.
Zapier and similar tools are fine for a single trigger-and-action step, but most real workflows — a clinic's recall scheduling, a brokerage's showing coordination — involve judgment calls, exceptions, and data pulled from multiple systems that no-code templates can't handle cleanly. AI automation adds the reasoning layer on top: deciding what to do with messy input, not just moving data between apps. Many projects we build do use tools like Zapier under the hood, with the AI layer handling the parts a simple trigger can't.
Worth automating: high-volume, repetitive work with a clear set of rules — intake forms, recall reminders, showing follow-up, nightly reporting. Not worth it (yet): low-volume tasks, or anything requiring genuine relationship judgment, like closing a sensitive client conversation. A good rule of thumb for an Ottawa clinic or brokerage: if front-desk or admin staff do it the same way more than a few times a week, it's a candidate. If it happens twice a month and needs a human read on the situation, it probably isn't.
Yes, when it's built correctly. We integrate directly with the systems you already use — practice management software, CRMs, POS platforms — using their official APIs rather than screen-scraping or storing duplicate copies of sensitive data. Where privacy is a bigger concern, such as patient records at a dental clinic, we use local models and/or obfuscate sensitive fields rather than sending them to third-party AI providers.
No. NerdSnipe does not train third-party AI models on client data. Your information is used via retrieval and context within your own solution — the AI reads what it needs to complete a task — and is never sent to an external provider to improve their models. This applies whether it's patient intake records, listing data, or reservation history.
You own the code and system once it's built — there's no vendor lock-in by design. We also provide a full year of support after sign-off, covering error fixes, upgrades, and model updates, in addition to any monthly running-cost plan you choose. If you want to bring maintenance in-house or switch providers after that, the system is yours to take with you.
Before we build anything, we define what success looks like in hours saved, response time, or error rate — for example, recall scheduling handled without front-desk time, or every listing inquiry followed up within minutes instead of hours. After go-live we check those numbers against the baseline. If an automation isn't saving measurable time or reducing errors within the first few weeks, something in the scope needs to change.
Workflows change — a clinic switches practice management software, a brokerage adds a new lead source — and automations built around rigid assumptions break when that happens. We build with that in mind and adjust the automation as part of the year of post-launch support included with every build, so a reasonable process change doesn't mean starting over or paying for a full rebuild.
It's not a one-time build. Every project includes a full year of support after sign-off — error fixes, upgrades, and model updates — on top of whatever ongoing monthly plan covers the tools and infrastructure running the automation. For an Ottawa hospitality group or brokerage, that means if something breaks or an integrated system changes its API, it gets fixed as part of the relationship, not billed as a separate emergency.
In most cases, yes. We've built integrations with practice management systems like Dentrix, CRMs like Follow Up Boss, and POS platforms like Toast for Ottawa clients, and most mainstream business software exposes an API or at least a reliable export we can work with. We check compatibility with your specific tools during the initial scoping call before any commitment is made.
It depends on complexity and how much your time is worth. DIY no-code tools work for a single simple trigger. A big agency often makes sense only once you're automating dozens of workflows across departments. For a single-location clinic, brokerage, or hospitality business with a handful of specific bottlenecks, a focused consultant who scopes, builds, and supports the system directly — typically $275–$2,500 CAD to build and most projects live within 2–4 weeks — tends to be both faster and cheaper than either extreme.
