Current
by SilverServers
Agency management software
Run your business on Current.
The software we run SilverServers on, for every client, project, to-do and hour. Any business can run it, and we’ll set it up for your team.
Kamloops custom web apps. Software that fits how you work.
Pulse, Paradigm, Current and VeridianSEO are software we wrote and run ourselves. When the tools out there don’t quite fit your business, we sit down with you, work out the problem, and build the one that does.
Why build your own
Stop working around your software.
Software made for everyone leaves gaps your team fills by hand. When it’s built for your business:
- It works the way your team does, not the other way around.
- You decide who can see your records.
- Your data is kept where you choose: on our servers in Kamloops, Canada, or on your own servers or cloud.
- On our servers, it’s watched day and night, and repeat attackers are blocked automatically.
- The people who built it are a phone call away, here in Kamloops.
Pulse · on watch since 2015
Pulse watches our servers, day and night.
Watching hundreds of services with someone else’s monitoring cost too much, so in 2015 we wrote our own. The first version checked that our servers were online, and told us when they weren’t. Today Pulse also tracks the bandwidth our data centre uses, its temperature and humidity, the addresses attacking our servers, our weekly SEO reports and the PHP errors in our CMS. (Some of us call it Heartbeat.)

Built here
Two of our own apps. Your business can use both.
VeridianSEO
by SilverServers
Search visibility, measured
Find out why customers can’t find you.
SEO reports, website health and security checks, with a clear report of what to fix first.
Also built here
For us, and for our clients.
Our CMS
Paradigm
The content management system we wrote from scratch. Many of our SEO clients’ websites run on it, and they can add and edit their own pages, files and photos.
For a client · 2018
A community map for a museum
For the Pitt Meadows Museum: visitors click anywhere on the map to share a memory, with photos, a video and audio. Each story is moderated, then becomes an article search engines can find. The BC Museums Association gave the museum a Change Makers Award for the project.
Integrations
Systems that talk to each other
We’ve built integrations against OpenSRS and Windward System Five. The Windward one ties an online store into an ERP: the business system that runs stock, orders and accounts.
Schema and surface
Behind every screen, a schema
Custom apps live in tables, columns, and foreign keys. Here’s one sample screen and the schema it sits on.
How we start
First the problem. Then what the solution looks like.
-
01
We sit down with you.
And work out the problem you’re trying to solve, and what the solution looks like.
-
02
A written plan.
A written scope, a phased build plan and a starting estimate. Every build is quoted on its own.
-
03
Built in phases.
You see working drafts as each phase comes together, and help shape what comes next.
-
04
Then it runs.
On our servers in Kamloops, or on your own servers or cloud. On ours, it joins everything Pulse watches.
Straight answers
Questions people ask us.
What’s a web app?
A website that does a job. People sign in, keep records, and the app works things out for them. Current, the software we run SilverServers on, is one.
What does a custom app cost?
Every build is quoted on its own, after we talk it through. We come back with a written scope, a phased build plan and a starting estimate.
Should we build one, or use what’s out there?
Plenty of businesses are well served by what’s already out there. Building makes sense when nothing quite fits, or when privacy, where your data is stored, security or who’s behind a tool matter to you.
Where does it run?
On our servers in Kamloops, Canada, or on your own servers or cloud: AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Can it work with the software we already use?
Connecting systems is part of the work. We’ve built integrations against OpenSRS and Windward System Five: tell us what yours has to talk to.
Can my business use Current?
Yes. Current isn’t only ours: your business can run it too, and we’ll set it up with you. Try the demo first.
Do you build for clients, or only for yourselves?
Both. For the Pitt Meadows Museum we built a community map where visitors share their own stories, and the museum won a BC Museums Association award for the project.
Do you only work with Kamloops businesses?
No. Our team is in Kamloops, and we build software for businesses across the Interior, the rest of BC and beyond.
Tell us what’s broken about the software you’re using now.
Or what nothing out there does yet. We’ll come back with a written scope, a phased build plan and a starting estimate.
