Built for Canada’s energy industry, by the people who worked it.
Glendale builds custom software for operations in Canada’s energy industry: systems shaped around how each operation runs, owned outright by the company that runs on them.
How we work.
We start from how the work moves
The work itself is usually fine. The workflow around it isn’t. Every build starts there, not from a menu of features.
You own it outright
No subscription and no seat rental. The build is yours, it runs on accounts you own, and your data exports any time.
Built with your people
Built remotely with check-ins as the work comes together, or in-house alongside your team, around the way the work actually moves.
Held to a security baseline
Every build passes a pre-ship security check before it goes live, and anything that acts outside the system waits for a person to approve it.
Where it started.
Glendale was built by someone who started out close to the work.
First running heavy equipment, then relining municipal water and sewer mains — most of the lines still live while the crew worked around them. Later, in marine systems and engineering with the Royal Canadian Navy, he kept warships’ engineering systems running and maintained. A critical diagnostic and repair at sea on an Arctic deployment earned a commendation.
Back in Alberta, he moved into the oilfield — cementing first, then nitrogen work across pipeline, processing, and downhole applications.
At one of those companies he pitched a marketing program and built the whole thing himself. Wrote it, filmed it, edited it. The heart of it was interviews: nearly the entire staff, operator to president, about an hour with each of them, cut down to a few minutes of finished video. The minutes were for the screen. The hours were people telling him, in their own words, where their day held up and where it fought them.
He kept hearing the same thing he’d seen in his own jobs, in every industry and every seat: the work itself was fine. The workflow around it wasn’t. Paper tickets driven back to town. The same numbers typed into three systems. A quote sitting in a truck for a week. Jobs that were never tracked in one connected system.
He’d built computers since he was a kid, and he knew what modern software could do for operations like these. So he built one system, end to end, for a single Alberta operation. The people who saw it started asking who’d built it. That’s how Glendale started.
We’re growing.
Glendale is actively looking to begin conversations with interested candidates for Solution Engineer positions opening in the 2027 calendar year.
