Aboard’s mission: Great custom business apps for anyone who needs one
“Everyone can have the tools their organization needs. I love being part of that change.”
Paul Ford
Aboard delivers professional-grade, customized business software faster and at a lower cost than ever before.
Our Mission
Aboard’s founders 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.
Our Process
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.
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.
Need an update, need a new functionality, need to add on something else entirely? We’re here for that.
