About Credovix
Credovix helps operations-heavy small and mid-sized businesses turn fragmented tools and ad-hoc AI usage into a measurable, governed automation layer on top of the systems they already run.
We work with manufacturers, distributors, and service businesses across Canada — companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and DIY workflows but aren't ready for enterprise consultants who don't understand how an SMB actually operates. Our edge is simple: we've spent years inside small-business operations. We understand ERP logic, production realities, communication bottlenecks, and the gap between what software outputs and what teams actually trust.
Engagements typically start with a readiness assessment, move into a first AI or automation implementation, and continue as ongoing operations support. Whatever the shape, the goal is the same: do more with less.
About the founder
Credovix is founded and led by Manley Gage, a Cochrane, Alberta based developer with an unusual path into automation work.
He grew up in and around Cochrane, working a string of local jobs after high school and tree planting up north. Those years gave him a close-up view of how real people and real businesses operate day to day — the kind of perspective you don't get from a business degree.
Following a passion for filmmaking, Manley moved to Vancouver to study post-production. After graduating in 2008, he worked on television shows and contributed to major feature films, including large-scale Marvel productions like Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther. It was there, surrounded by talented people doing repetitive manual work, that he first taught himself Python — building scripts to automate everyday workflows. What started as small time-savers grew into full applications with proper interfaces, used by teams across post-production studios.
After about nine years in film, family reasons brought Manley and his family back to Cochrane — and that move became a turning point. He decided to make automation, integrations, and software his full-time career, and joined a local manufacturer as a software developer.
Over the next seven-plus years, he became deeply embedded in SMB manufacturing operations — implementing an ERP system, building custom internal applications for WIP tracking, forecasting, and shipping, and engineering integrations between systems that didn't naturally talk to each other. He worked across engineering, manufacturing, inventory, shipping, sales, production planning, and contract manufacturer coordination — the kind of full-stack operations exposure that's hard to find in any one consultant.
That depth — knowing how the business works, not just how the code works — is what Credovix is built on.
