AI Speed
Aboard is the world’s first solution engineering firm. Our team of experts uses our AI-powered platform to deliver your business software in record time.
The Landscape
Aboard = Platform + People
Your off-the-shelf software isn’t living up to your business’s ambitions. Or you’re tired of relying on one-size-fits-none SaaS tools. It’s all held together with spreadsheets, clutch team members, and chewing gum.
You’re losing money through all this friction. We have a better way, and people are the solution: our people and your people.
World-class Solution Engineers
If your software isn’t growing with you, you need a partner who listens. Our speciality is in finding unifying solutions. We use AI to deliver world-class software at a reasonable monthly cost. We can ship quickly, bring your data in today, and make your business stack better.
AI-driven Software that Truly Ships
95% of AI software initiatives fail. That’s because the last mile is truly long. We solved that. Aboard’s custom platform, when operated by a skilled solution engineer, can deliver fully functioning, reliable, stable digital business software in a fraction of the time of other tools—as unique as your business and your team.
What We Do
Let us show you how it works.
We’d love to give you a demo—just get in touch.
We’re something new, and we take you from idea to deploy, at the highest level of quality, in record time.
Meet one of solution engineers, Matt, who will take you through the basics of our platform and show you how a relationship with Aboard can deliver great, stable software on your schedule.
Our solution engineers are trained to use the most advanced AI tools around to solve the most challenging business problems. We’ve done it for some of the largest firms on earth, and we can help you, too.
Here’s how we work with you to identify problems, develop an approach that combines software, data handling, integrations, and more, iterate software, and ship your solution, all in record time.
Platform
CRM, ERP, CMS, project management, and dashboards galore. We can do it all—fast.
We use AI to radically accelerate the software development lifecycle. Our Solution Engineers partner with you, learning your pain points, critical needs, and how your data and integrations need to evolve. They can design, prototype, and explore applications—often in minutes—using Aboard’s proprietary AI-accelerated platform. Then they keep iterating with your feedback until the software takes shape: familiar, secure, powerful, and integrated with any legacy systems.
