A different approach
to municipal software

Most towns run a website from one vendor, a library system from another and recreation sign-ups on a spreadsheet. Castorix starts from the shared parts, so every application already knows your residents, your staff and your rules.

One back office for every department

Clerks, librarians and coordinators work in the same place, with the same navigation and the same resident lookup. Less training, fewer passwords, no swivel-chair.

Explore the back office

“New staff learn one interface instead of four, and they stop asking which system a resident lives in.”

Every application shares one citizen record

A library card, a swimming registration and a subscription to public notices all attach to the same person. Add a second application and it already knows your residents.

Explore the citizen record

“For the first time we can see a resident’s whole relationship with the town on one page.”

Share what’s happening with council and residents

Every application reports into the same place. Build a dashboard for council in minutes, and publish the numbers residents ask about as open data.

“Council asked for program enrolment by neighbourhood. It took one afternoon instead of one consultant.”

An AI assistant for staff and residents

Staff draft pages in plain language, translate between English and French and write alt text in seconds. Residents ask a question and get an answer from your own published pages. A person reviews everything before it publishes.

Work with the data, identity provider and domain you already have, so you aren’t locked in

Your current systems hold years of records. Castorix brings them along and lets you take them back out.

  • Import from your current website, ILS or spreadsheets
  • Sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or any SAML/OIDC provider
  • Keep your domain and your branding, and export everything any time

Control without compromise

Secure your residents’ data with isolation enforced by the database

Every row is tagged with your municipality, and Postgres row-level security refuses to return it to anyone else, even if application code has a bug.

Every change by a staff member is written to an audit log, and your data stays in Canada.

Evaluating Castorix

Applications Start with one, add the rest

Built with the people
who run towns

Castorix is shaped by clerks, librarians and coordinators in small and mid-sized municipalities.

One place for the front counter

Clerks find any resident, see every registration and loan, and answer without switching systems.

Circulation that knows the patron

Librarians check out, renew and return against the same citizen record the rest of the town uses.

Registrations without the spreadsheet

Recreation coordinators publish programs, manage waitlists and see who’s coming, in one place.

Fewer systems to secure

IT manages one login, one set of roles and one vendor, with an audit trail from day one.

Built to be audited

Commitments we test before every release. See how →

“Our vision is that any resident can find a book or sign up for swimming without knowing which department runs it. Castorix is the first system that works that way.”

Chief administrative officer Pilot municipality

Instant fitwith the municipal stack

Every application has an API and webhooks, so Castorix works with what you already run: finance, GIS, 311 and your data warehouse. See all integrations →

Identity providers

Staff sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or any SAML/OIDC provider. Residents use email and password or passkeys.

MARC21 and SIP2

Library records import from your current ILS, and self-checkout kiosks keep working.

Hosted payments

Hosted payment pages keep card data out of your systems and out of your PCI scope.

iCal calendars

Programs and events publish as calendar feeds residents can subscribe to on any phone.

Open data

Publish datasets in DCAT format to your open data portal automatically.

API and webhooks

Every record is reachable through a documented REST API, with keys that do only what you allow. Signed webhooks tell your other systems the moment something changes.

Getting started is easy.

Start with one application and a pilot group of staff. We import your data and you keep your domain.

FAQ

Do we have to buy every application?

No. Start with one. Each application is sold on its own and works on its own; what you gain by adding more is a shared citizen record, single sign-on and one place for staff to work.

Where is our data stored?

In Canada. Every row is tagged with your municipality and isolated by the database itself, not just by application code. You can export everything, any time, in open formats.

How do you use AI?

To draft, translate, summarize and answer questions from your own published content. Nothing an assistant writes is published without a person approving it, and your data is never used to train models.

Can we move off Castorix later?

Yes. Every application has a documented export and a public API. We would rather earn your renewal than lock you in.

Is it accessible?

Every page is built to WCAG 2.1 AA and tested with keyboard and screen reader before release.

Who answers when we call for support?

Our own team in Canada, in English or French, on weekdays during Eastern business hours.

What does it cost?

A yearly subscription per application, scaled to population. No setup fee for the first application. See pricing for the bands.
