Christie-Benn Inc. — Independent Software Since 1993

Practical software,
crafted with thirty-plus years
of real-world experience.

We are a small, independent Canadian software house. No venture capital, no acquisition strategy, no off-shore assembly line — just focused, purpose-built software for the businesses that need it most.

1993 Founded

2 Active Products

30+ Years in Market

An independent developer
you can actually reach.

Christie-Benn Inc. (formerly Asseance Software Inc.) has been writing business software since 1993. We are based in Cobourg, Ontario, and we operate as a lean, focused organization — which means the person who answers your support call is the same person who wrote the code.

Our products are not built to be resold or absorbed into a platform suite. They are built to solve specific, real-world problems for the kinds of businesses that cannot afford to be wrong about their software. We write in C and Harbour/xBase, targeting native Win32 — no frameworks, no runtimes, no subscription-locked cloud dependencies for core operations.

That philosophy has kept our products in active deployment for decades, running reliably at client sites without the overhead of mandatory upgrades, ballooning storage costs, or internet dependency for day-to-day operations.

Two products. Two problems solved.

Each Christie-Benn product addresses a distinct market need, developed from years of direct engagement with the businesses that use it.

"One platform. Every corner of your operation."

"Email your customers — and have them look forward to it."

You're a Winner! (YAW) is a permission-based email marketing system built around a simple but powerful idea: give customers a reason to want your emails. By anchoring each broadcast to a genuine prize draw, YAW turns routine marketing contact into something your customers anticipate. The result is dramatically higher open rates, real contact tracing data, and an organically grown customer database — for around $50 per month.

Prize-draw model drives voluntary, repeat customer sign-up
Automated draw generation and winner notification
Birthday & anniversary triggered email campaigns
Visit-frequency and postal code demographic tracking
Custom email template support (Stripo and others)
Separate client, marketer, and tablet login roles

How we work — and why it matters.

Long-term thinking

Our software is not built on a quarterly product roadmap driven by investor pressure. Features are added because clients need them — and they stay in because they work. Some of our client relationships span twenty years.

Direct accountability

There is no tiered support queue, no Level 1 script-reader between you and a solution. When something goes wrong, the developer responsible for that code is the one who fixes it. That's not a sales pitch — it's just how a small shop works.

No artificial lock-in

Your data is stored in open, accessible formats. We don't make it hard to leave because we'd rather make it worthwhile to stay. If a client outgrows our software or changes direction, we help with the transition rather than litigate the exit.

We're a phone call or email away.
