QReserve Inc. is a Canadian software company that develops enterprise-grade scheduling, workflow automation, and resource management solutions. Its all-in-one SaaS platform enables organizations to manage spaces, equipment, services, and staff through intelligent scheduling, utilization tracking, invoicing, and analytics. The company helps institutions optimize usage, reduce operational inefficiencies, and enhance collaboration across multidisciplinary environments such as universities, healthcare, research labs, and government offices.
Founded in 2014 by Brandon Aubie in Hamilton, Ontario, QReserve originated from a need to optimize underused scientific research equipment at McMaster University. The platform evolved rapidly from a local research tool into a full-fledged SaaS solution serving global markets. QReserve was incubated at The Forge at McMaster University and supported by Innovation Factory, which helped the company refine its business model and secure mentorship and grant-based funding for scaling. Over the past decade, the firm has grown from a small academic project to an enterprise-class software provider with more than 150 institutional and enterprise customers worldwide, primarily through organic and referral-driven adoption.
QReserve’s growth has been primarily self-funded and supported through Canadian innovation grants and customer revenue rather than venture capital. Available records indicate modest but steady financial performance, with annual revenue estimated at $3 million as of 2025. While QReserve has not disclosed any startup valuation publicly, its organic revenue growth, enterprise contracts, and product diversification suggest a stable mid-market valuation category within the Canadian SaaS sector.
QReserve’s core offering is its cloud-based resource and workflow management platform. Key modules include:
Support for compliance across sectors, including life sciences, higher education, healthcare, and government.
These capabilities integrate through APIs with Microsoft 365, Google Calendar, and other major enterprise systems.
QReserve has not announced any acquisitions to date, but has expanded product functionality internally. In 2021, it launched “sneq”, a proprietary reservation scripting language for advanced workflow customization. By 2024, it expanded into property and facility management, offering customized tools for landlords, tenants, and commercial property operations. This diversification demonstrates QReserve’s strategic move from a specialized research scheduler to a cross-industry workflow automation solution.
Recent updates in 2024–2025 include:
