What happened
An online order requests two units. Three local units are available after existing reservations.
What the system checked
SKU, current price, payment policy and available local quantity.
Next action
Reserve two local units and create one warehouse task. Reconcile the acknowledgement before marking it released.
What is recorded
Order ID, allocation, approved price version and warehouse task reference.
Controls and integration

Versioned price rules, source freshness, channel reservations and confirmed downstream actions. A repeated event does not authorise a second dispatch. Your stock system remains the record of ownership.

Connect to existing systems where their APIs and permissions allow. Rules, approvals, reconciliation and recovery are agreed before any production write. AI may extract or classify; validated business rules control consequential actions.

Built inside the business we run

One business. Many connected responsibilities.

At G3, custom systems connect commerce, customer service, staff work and growth. Explore what runs, where people decide, and how the same approach can fit a different industry.

G3 is Canvo founder George Ding’s own Melbourne business.

Services & pricing

Start with evidence. Pay for a system only when the workflow is worth fixing.

Review the value, agree the scope, then build and hand over. Work directly with George, with costs, authorised actions and acceptance checks agreed before work starts.

All Canvo fees shown exclude GST. Payment milestones are agreed in the proposal; third-party costs are itemised separately.

Support, payment and running costs

Included support covers 12 months from acceptance: delivered-workflow defects, minor compatibility adjustments within existing integrations and checks of the repair. Covered repairs do not require a paid care plan. New workflows, major migrations and broader ongoing engineering are scoped separately.

Broader cross-system deployments typically range from A$9,500–18,000 ex GST. Optional proactive care and improvements start from A$490/month ex GST, with separately agreed monitoring, reviews and improvements. Software, API, model and hosting costs are itemised separately.

Payment milestones are agreed in the proposal, typically starting with a 10% deposit followed by milestone payments. Any retention amount and release conditions are stated in the proposal where applicable.

Building a whole operating system, with ongoing engineering?

Map the process across teams, with named sources, owners, approvals and acceptance checks. Deliver in stages: prove one workflow, connect the adjacent steps, then expand to more teams or locations. Larger systems receive a separate scope and quote; the first-workflow starting price is not a whole-system price.

FAQ

Costs, control and risk — answered upfront.

Fit depends on the work, not a headcount range. Canvo works with Australian businesses where repeated work, disconnected systems, missed follow-ups or owner dependence create a worthwhile problem to solve. That can be a small management team or an operation across several sites. We check volumes, access, exceptions and value first; if existing software solves it, we recommend that route.

All Canvo fees shown exclude GST: the diagnostic is A$950; a first production workflow starts at A$4,900; broader cross-system deployments typically range from A$9,500–18,000. Implementation includes 12 months of support from acceptance for delivered-workflow defects and minor compatibility changes within existing integrations. No Canvo subscription is required. Optional proactive care and improvements start from A$490/month ex GST with a defined scope; covered repairs are not charged again. New workflows and major migrations are quoted separately, as are software, API, model and hosting costs. The proposal records the covered workflows, support process and responsibilities. After 12 months, you can self-manage, use another provider or arrange further support; there is no automatic subscription, and applicable statutory rights are unaffected.

No. Connecting what you already use comes first. A replacement is only discussed when the current system genuinely cannot deliver the outcome — and the migration cost is put on the table with it.

Autonomy is agreed for each task. We define which cases can run, validate the rules and complete result, and set permissions, action limits, execution records and recovery steps. Eligible work can finish without someone approving every item. Missing information, failed checks or actions outside the agreed scope stop or go to a person.

Client-specific code, configuration, documentation and access are delivered as agreed. Reusable components may be licensed rather than transferred; the proposal explains those terms. Ending optional care does not remove your agreed deliverables or access. You can maintain the system yourself or arrange another provider, while keeping its required services funded.

At application stage you never need to send passwords, full customer lists or financial statements. In an engagement, data access follows the minimum-necessary principle, sensitive fields can be masked or processed locally, and permissions and logs are auditable. Your data stays yours.

More about costs, deployment and tools

A real workflow diagnostic means observing the work, measuring the baseline, mapping exceptions and risks, and producing an implementation-ready scope. It is not a sales call. The A$950 is fully credited if you proceed, and the diagnostic remains yours if you do not.

Yes, where the workload, hardware, model licence and maintenance responsibilities make sense. Options include your own cloud account, an on-site GPU server, or a hybrid architecture that keeps only sensitive steps local. Canvo can help select the model and inference runtime, isolate the network, configure access, logging, backups and handover—but running locally is not by itself proof of privacy or industry compliance.

No. The advantage is not the lowest price; it is a leaner delivery model. The same founder understands the operation, designs the system, builds, tests and hands it over. You pay for delivery rather than a large sales and management structure.

Yes, where it fits. We assess your existing software first, then choose n8n, native integrations or custom code to deliver the required outcome. The scope names hosting, licence costs, approvals, monitoring, failed-action recovery and maintenance responsibilities. Handover covers the agreed workflow definitions, code, operating notes and access. You do not need to choose the technology first or move platforms just to automate.

Talk to George

Show me one real workflow. I will first decide whether it is worth automating.

Explain who does it, which tools are involved, how often it happens and where it breaks. Do not send passwords, customer lists or financial statements.

George reviews your request within 48 hours. If it fits, you will receive a link for a free 20-minute call.

We use your answers to assess and respond to your request, with hosting and email providers described in our privacy notice. We do not sell your information.

Received. Thank you.

I personally review every submission within 48 hours. If it is a fit, I will send a 20-minute workflow review link. If it is not, I will explain why and whether a simpler solution is more appropriate.

Selected system architectures

Systems that act—not just report.

Live signals enter explicit decision logic, then become a recommendation, an approval-ready action or bounded execution. Every step leaves a receipt, so exceptions can pause, be reviewed and recover cleanly.

Examples, not packages. The system is designed around your operation.

The detailed demos above show selected system patterns I have already built. The same signal, decision, guardrail and receipt architecture can be applied across the workflow families below. If work repeats, crosses tools, follows rules or needs reliable review, it is worth bringing to triage.

Deployment control · optional private architecture

Sensitive workflows do not always need to send raw data to a public AI service.

Canvo can design managed, customer-controlled or hybrid deployment around data sensitivity, performance, maintainability and budget. Architecture follows a data-flow and risk assessment—not local infrastructure for its own sake.

AU

Australian region or your cloud

Run the system in an approved Australian region, or inside the cloud account, network and keys your organisation controls.

LAN

Local inference and on-site deployment

Deploy local models and inference services such as vLLM on suitable hardware, keeping selected documents or prompts inside your environment.

HYB

Hybrid data boundary

Keep sensitive processing local while only de-identified, aggregated or approved tasks reach external services—with logs and human approval.

Important boundaryLocal deployment can reduce external data movement and third-party dependency, but it does not automatically satisfy privacy, security or industry compliance requirements. Collection, access, retention, backups, model outputs, monitoring and staff processes still require deliberate design and review.
Growth systems built

I also build systems that make acquisition decisions observable.

These systems collect evidence first, then prepare recommendations or drafts. Publishing, budget changes and customer communication remain human-approved.

Note: these interfaces and workflows show categories, structures and interactions I have built. All figures, customer details and device IDs are fabricated demo data and do not represent a real client or real trading outcome; some growth workflows still require human verification and approval. In real engagements, your data stays yours.
