Aboard’s mission: Great custom business apps for anyone who needs one

Aboard delivers professional-grade, customized business software faster and at a lower cost than ever before. We’re able to do this because of a revolutionary approach that leverages the power of AI and pairs it with human expertise and compassionate attention to detail.

The company’s founders, software industry veterans, know that small and medium-sized businesses have needs that off-the-shelf solutions simply can’t meet, and often lack the resources for months-long, expensive custom software development. Over the years, our team has delivered solutions to thousands of users across Fortune 100 companies and giant NGOs. With our new product, we can offer the same or better quality to any company, at any budget, on a timeline that’s never been possible before.

The key is our solution experts, product-oriented specialists with a deep understanding of how software should be built. They work alongside the AI, reviewing and tweaking the software at every stage to ensure it matches with the client’s needs and makes practical sense.

Aboard believes that technology should be inherently empowering, and we want to help you navigate and understand new technologies like AI as we build software that transforms your business. And we’ll stick with you. Need an update, need a new functionality, need to add on something else entirely? We’re here for that.
