Simplify Meetings, Empower Voting

About our company
Our Story
"In a world where decisions shape the future of organizations, communities, and governments, every vote holds significance, and every voice deserves to be acknowledged. Traditional methods of gathering votes, like pen and paper or outdated devices, have become relics of a less connected past. This is where Data On The Spot (DOTS) steps in, driven by the belief that technology should empower people, not complicate their lives.

Our journey began with a simple vision: to make voting at meetings, conventions, and events as easy as a tap, while ensuring it remains secure and accurate. DOTS is more than just a voting tool—it fosters engagement, participation, and instantly captures the collective pulse of the room. Built on this foundation, DOTS has evolved into a seamless platform that integrates electronic voting, secure document access, and real-time participation, becoming essential during moments when decisions must be made quickly and collectively.

At the core of DOTS is not just technology, it’s the people who trust us. Organizations rely on us to run their AGMs and conventions with integrity, ensuring every voice is heard. Our dedicated team understands each client’s unique needs, and we never compromise on transparency or accuracy. As we continue to innovate, we remain committed to our philosophy: empowering organizations through user-friendly technology while keeping the focus on the people and decisions that matter most."

A Message from the President - JP Copeland
"DOTS started as an education technology company, integrating voting technology into nearly every Canadian school board. After shifting from selling to renting our solutions to larger associations, we saw steady growth for nearly a decade. When COVID-19 hit, we quickly pivoted to online voting, experiencing significant success as one of the first in the market. Now, we’ve refined our offerings, reinvested in research and development, and are launching our very own event management app and real-time voting based on our in-depth event experience and feedback to simplify conferences for our clients."
