About us
A Canadian mobile engineering practice, built for the long term.
Since 2008, Pacific Mobile Innovations Inc. has helped Canadian and international organizations ship mobile products their customers actually rely on — from logistics platforms to regulated financial apps.
Our story
We started in 2008 in a one-room studio off West Hastings, building some of the first native iPhone apps for Canadian businesses. Three principles defined the practice then and still do now: senior engineers on every line of code, transparent commercial terms, and a relentless focus on the user's hand.
Today, our Vancouver headquarters at Royal Centre is home to product managers, designers, iOS and Android engineers, mobile QA specialists, and a dedicated security team. We've delivered 240+ production mobile applications for organizations across finance, healthcare, logistics, energy, and the public sector.
Mission
To make mobile the most trusted, productive interface between Canadian organizations and the people they serve — through engineering excellence, ethical design, and durable partnership.

What we value
Senior by default
Every project is staffed with senior Canadian engineers — no offshore handoffs, no junior padding.
Outcome accountable
We commit to measurable business outcomes, not just sprint velocity.
Quietly secure
Security and privacy reviews are part of every release, not a quarterly afterthought.
Long-term partner
Average client relationship: 6.4 years. We build for the decade, not the demo.
