Yocale rises to No. 18 on Deloitte’s 2026 Technology Fast 50
Yocale Network, the company behind the Yocale.ai platform, has achieved the No. 18 ranking on Deloitte’s 2026 Technology Fast 50, an annual list recognizing Canada’s fastest-growing technology companies. This recognition underscores the rapid expansion of Yocale.ai, which focuses on providing an AI-powered operating system for independent salons, med-spas, and wellness brands.
The Vancouver-based company’s platform serves businesses in over 22 countries and aims to equip small service businesses with tools for scheduling, payments, client management, and data analysis, previously accessible only to larger national chains. The integrated nature of Yocale.ai, combining bookings, payments, client engagement, and daily operations into a single platform, allows for comprehensive data visibility and AI-driven automation.
The platform handles a wide range of functions, including online booking, staff scheduling, membership management, package creation, gift card processing, and invoicing. Yocale Pay facilitates payments through various methods, including deposits, card payments, contactless options, and payment links, all tied to client records and transactions. AI agents automate tasks like voice booking, client retention, marketing, and revenue recovery, reducing manual workload for business operators.
According to Arash Asli, Co-founder and CEO of Yocale Network, the company was created to address the high failure rate among small businesses – over 50% within their first three years. “That’s why I created Yocale, something that was meant to help the backbone of our economy, the small business owners, not just survive, but actually thrive,” Asli stated.
The company’s revenue streams include software subscriptions and a share of payment processing revenue through Yocale Pay, with plans for additional AI and other services. Yocale.ai began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) in May 2026, completed a private placement of approximately $1.74 million in July, launched integrated payments in September, and received OTCQB approval in October.
“I’d like to thank our customers who trusted us, our team that was with us, and our shareholders who backed us to get to this point,” Asli said. Yocale.ai is positioned at the intersection of AI automation and the growing demand for improved tools among independent service businesses.
