A technology company that has lived the problems it solves
Pycas Design Innovations began as a digital production and web solutions studio and has grown into a software engineering company focused on custom applications, AI, and cloud.
From digital production to production software
For years Pycas delivered software development, GIS, digital production, and web solutions to businesses across the Chicago area. Alongside that work, the team built and ran a photo and video production business, and watched firsthand as AI changed the economics of an entire industry.
Rather than resist that change, we engineered on top of it. The result was ShootPro24AI, an AI-powered multimedia workflow platform that we designed, built, and now operate in production. That experience, taking a product from idea to a production deployment on AWS with real users, is what we bring to every client engagement today.
Pycas Design Innovations is based in Glenview, Illinois, and serves commercial and public-sector clients nationwide.

What you can expect from working with us
Direct access
You talk to the people writing the code. No account layers, no hand-offs to a team you never met.
Honest scoping
We will tell you when a smaller solution will do, when a problem doesn't need AI, and when we are not the right fit.
Working software, often
Two-week sprints with demonstrable progress. You see the system grow rather than waiting for a reveal.
You own everything
Source code, cloud accounts, and data belong to you from the start.
Built to be maintained
Documentation, version control, and mainstream technology choices so your system can outlive any single vendor, including us.
We stay on
Launch is the beginning. We support, monitor, and improve the systems we build.
Let's build something together
Whether you're a business with a workflow to automate or an agency planning a modernization, we'd like to hear about it.
