Vaughan, Ontario, Canada · Taking on new projects
Big-company automation, now within reach of your small business.
Our founder led transformations that saved one national operation $2.6 million over five years and a Toronto warehouse about $500,000 a year. SZTek brings that same discipline to Ontario businesses with 1 to 50 people, in plain language, and you own everything we build.

A front desk buried in booking and reminder calls.

Deliveries and paperwork that take days to invoice.

What SZTek does
What we take off your plate
Four ways to take repeated work off your plate, each explained in plain words with who it fits and who it does not.
How we work
Straightforward, from first call to done
No jargon and no lock-in. Here is what working with us looks like, and what you get at each step.
A free call
You tell us what slows you down. We ask questions and listen.
You getA straight answer on whether we can help, or an honest no.
A short assessment
A fixed-scope look at how your work actually flows today.
You getA plain plan that ranks the few changes worth doing first. It is yours whether or not you build with us.
We build it
Careful, clean work, tested on your real tasks before it goes live.
You getWorking software, and a walkthrough in plain language.
You own it
Your stack, vendors paid at cost, no SaaS markup and no per-seat lock-in.
You getSupport when you ask for it, never pushed by default.
The person who takes your first call is the person who scopes the work and stays on it to the end.
Where the savings come from
Real savings you can check for yourself
The right tool creates hard cost savings from day one, from four sources you can check against your own business.
Fewer repeated manual tasks
The small jobs your team does by hand, over and over, get handled for you.
Fewer avoidable errors
A computer doing the same step the same way means fewer slips to fix later.
Shorter turnaround times
Work moves faster from first contact to done, so you can take on more.
Better use of staff hours
Your people spend their time on the work that only people can do.
And it is not just theory. In past work we have cut $2.6 million from one operation's costs over five years and about $500,000 a year from another's shipping. See the work.
Your own numbers
What does one repeated task cost you?
Put in your own numbers. This is your arithmetic, not our promise.
Wage plus benefits, or your own rate if it is you.
We assume 50 working weeks a year. Your numbers, not our promise.
Some tasks are not worth automating. If yours is one of them, we will say so. Read how to tell: Is this process worth automating?

Questions
Quick questions
What does SZTek do?
SZTek is an Ontario AI consultancy based in Vaughan. We build AI tools and automation for small and medium businesses, in plain language you can follow.
How does AI save my business money?
The right tool can save money through fewer repeated manual tasks, fewer avoidable errors, shorter turnaround times, and better use of the staff hours you already pay for.
Do I have to pay a monthly SaaS fee?
No. You own your stack and pay vendors at cost, with no SaaS markup and no per-seat lock-in.
Where is SZTek based?
SZTek is based in Vaughan, Ontario, and serves businesses across Ontario.
What does it cost?
Every project is quoted as a fixed scope after a free call, so you know the price before any work starts. There are no hourly surprises, and no monthly fee to SZTek for software you own.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the task. We give you a clear timeline after the short assessment, and we would rather tell you a real date than a fast one.
Who actually does the work?
The founder who takes your first call scopes the work and stays on it to the end. Nothing is handed off to someone you have never met.
What if AI is not the right fix for us?
We say so. Some tasks are cheaper to leave alone, and our advice does not depend on selling you a build.
How the economics work
Technology delivered at your doorstep.
You own your stack, pay vendors at cost, with no SaaS markup and no per-seat lock-in. SaaS markup means the extra fee software companies add on top of the real cost. Per-seat lock-in means paying again for every single person who logs in.
- Own your stack
- The tools we build are yours to keep and run.
- Pay vendors at cost
- You pay the real provider price, not our markup.
