Agency Headquarters
Introducing Padma
Our development team has been busy onboarding new clients, and our focus has shifted to the development and expansion of Padma - one place for quoting, projects, submittals, orders, commissions, and CRM. DyGarn Technical Solutions still builds custom dashboards, automation, and AI systems for growing businesses.
Up and Running
The headquarters rep agencies have always wanted. One place for the way your agency actually runs. The tools you like stay.

Beyond Padma
Padma is where our focus is, but DyGarn still takes on custom work for other businesses - dashboards, automation, and integrations built around how you actually operate.
A single hub that connects your tools, your data, and your team. Custom dashboards with the KPIs that matter. Integrations between your CRM, accounting, scheduling, and field tools so data flows automatically. Whether you run one business or five, see everything and control everything from one place.
We map your existing processes and rebuild them with intelligent automation. Manual tasks gone, errors reduced, your team freed for higher-value work.
Not sure where AI fits? We start with your business, not the technology. A focused conversation to find the highest-impact opportunities and build a clear path forward.
AI-powered systems that read invoices, catch billing errors, reconcile payments, and flag discrepancies. Nothing slips through the cracks and you stop leaving money on the table.
30-Minute Discovery Call
Not a pitch. Not a template. A real conversation.
Every business is figuring out where AI fits, and there is no wrong place to be starting from - whether you are just getting curious or already leaning on a few tools day to day. The useful question is how it plugs into the way you actually work. This is a real conversation, not a pitch: the tools you run, where things snag, and what is quietly costing you time. No agenda, no pressure. The more you share, the more useful it gets.
The more context you give me, the more this session is worth. There are no wrong answers.
What your stack looks like and how your team actually uses it day-to-day
The tasks that feel repetitive, slow, or frustrating - even if you've accepted them as "just how it is"
The bottlenecks that keep you from operating at the level you want
So we build on what worked and don't repeat what didn't
Short-term wins and longer-term vision - so I prioritize what actually moves the needle
There's no preset outcome. What comes next depends entirely on what we find.
A clear picture of where AI fits - and where it doesn't - in your specific business
A prioritized path: what to do first, what to do later, what to skip entirely
An honest read - one targeted fix, a phased build, or a full strategy, depending on your situation
Answers you can act on - with or without me
No Commitment. Just Clarity.
There's no obligation to move forward. If AI genuinely isn't the right fit for your business right now, we'll tell you that. The goal isn't a sale. It's honest answers. Most business leaders leave with a clearer picture of their operation than they expected, and that alone is worth the 30 minutes.
30 minutes · No obligation · No tech jargon
How We Work
Five focused phases, from the first conversation to ongoing partnership. Every step is built around your business.
A conversation to hear your story. How you got here, where you want to go, and what's eating up your time along the way. No pitch. We listen. If there's a way to get hours back in your week, we'll figure out the right place to start together.
We sit down with you and your team and dig into how your business actually runs. What matters most to you. Where your time disappears. The bottlenecks you've learned to work around but shouldn't have to. You get a detailed report with findings specific to your operation. Your business, your numbers.
A plan built around your goals. What we'd build, what it costs, and what the return looks like. Real numbers from your real data. Because we've been in the room with your team, we'll often spot opportunities beyond what was originally discussed. Everything we build is designed to learn and improve over time, so the return compounds the longer it runs.
We build your system around how your team actually works. Workflows that take the repetitive stuff off people's plates, tools that give you visibility without having to chase it, and a live view of how it's all performing. Training included. We scope the timeline to fit the project, whether that's days or phases.
We don't build it and disappear. If something needs attention, we know about it before you do. Regular check-ins, ongoing optimization, and new ideas as your business grows. AI moves fast and we stay on top of it daily, so your systems evolve with the latest advancements. This isn't a handoff. It's a partnership.
Why DyGarn
Real time inside the industry, on every side of the business. That experience shapes everything we build.
No templates, no one-size-fits-all software. Every system is built from the ground up for your specific business. We move quickly without cutting corners, and first versions are usually live within weeks.
We're local and we show up. When it matters, we're in the room with you and your team, not on a screen three time zones away. That's how the best work gets done.
We don't disappear post-launch. Your success is ours. Continuous support, optimization, and growth planning. Your data stays private, protected, and fully under your control.
Canadian businesses may qualify for government programs that cover 50-75% of AI project costs. We'll help you navigate what's available.
The Person Behind DyGarn
Founder
I'm Greg Drysdale, founder of DyGarn Technical Solutions. I spent most of my career inside the electrical and lighting rep-agency world, on every side of the business, and was in the room for every major software migration along the way. That is where I learned the difference between software that fits how a business actually runs and software that fights it every day.
That experience is why I started DyGarn. Small and mid sized businesses know technology could give them their time back. They just need someone who understands their work, not only the code. So we sit down with owners, learn how the operation actually runs, and build the tools around them.
PadmaHQ is the clearest example. A dedicated headquarters built for rep agencies, built from the inside out. It is live now, onboarding agencies across Canada, and we work alongside each one to add custom modules as they grow.
When you work with DyGarn, you work directly with me and my team. No account managers. No handoffs. We learn your business, build what you need, and stay behind it long after launch.

Common Questions
Not at all. We handle all the technical complexity. You just need to know your business goals. We translate your needs into working systems and guide you through every step.
Most initial systems are live within 2-6 weeks depending on scope and complexity. You'll get a precise timeline after our discovery call, and we stick to it.
We work primarily with small and mid-sized businesses. Electrical and lighting rep agencies, contractors and trades, manufacturing, real estate, and professional services. If your business has processes that eat up time or money, there's likely a fit.
Absolutely. We build with security-first architecture and follow industry best practices for data protection. Your data is never shared, sold, or used to train public models.
Pricing depends on the scope and complexity of your project. Book a discovery call and you'll get transparent, honest pricing. No surprises. No hidden fees.
The discovery call is a 30-minute conversation. Not a slide deck, not a generic assessment. We dig into your specific situation, where your business is losing time, and what's holding back your growth. From there, we figure out what to do first, what to do later, and what's actually worth the investment. No templates, no predetermined outcomes. Just a real conversation built around your situation.
Not at all. The discovery call is designed for business owners and operators, not IT teams. You don't need to understand how AI works. You just need to know your business. We handle the technical side and translate everything into plain-English recommendations focused on outcomes and ROI.
Tell us about your agency and what is on your plate. We will personally review it and reach out to show you how Padma fits - or how we can help another way.
