DyGarn Technical Solutions is led by Greg Drysdale. We work directly with business owners to learn how their operation actually runs, where the pressure builds up, and what's quietly eating time and money. Then we build the tools around it. No templates. No generic solutions. PadmaHQ is the clearest example, but the same approach fits any operation that has outgrown its software.

30-Minute Discovery Call

Real Answers. Built Around Your Business.

Not a pitch. Not a template. A real conversation.

Most business owners know AI could help. The question is where it fits and who builds it right. This isn't a checklist or a pitch. It's a real conversation where I come in genuinely wanting to understand your business: the tools you're running, where things break down, and what's quietly costing you time and money every day. No agenda, no pressure, no commitment. The more you share, the more useful this becomes.

I Want to Understand

The more context you give me, the more this session is worth. There are no wrong answers.

  • The software and tools you're running

    What your stack looks like and how your team actually uses it day-to-day

  • Where you're losing time or hitting walls

    The tasks that feel repetitive, slow, or frustrating - even if you've accepted them as "just how it is"

  • What's slowing your growth

    The bottlenecks that keep you from operating at the level you want

  • What you've already tried

    So we build on what worked and don't repeat what didn't

  • Where you want to be

    Short-term wins and longer-term vision - so I prioritize what actually moves the needle

What This Leads To

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.

How We Work

Our Process

Five focused phases, from the first conversation to ongoing partnership. Every step is built around your business.

1

Discovery Call

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.

2

AI Audit

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.

3

Custom Proposal

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.

4

Build

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.

5

Stay In Your Corner

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.

The Person Behind DyGarn

Meet Greg

Greg Drysdale, Founder of DyGarn Technical Solutions

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

FAQ

Do I need technical knowledge to work with you?

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.

How long does a typical project take?

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.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

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.

Is my data safe and private?

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.

What's the investment to get started?

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.

What is the discovery call and what does it cost?

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.

Do I need to be technical to benefit from the discovery call?

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.
