The Orivian Pilot
One working system. Two to three weeks. One fixed price.
Instead of a long proposal cycle, we build the single highest-leverage system for your operation — a live dashboard, an automation, or a workflow tool — on your real data, at a fixed price agreed before work begins. You keep the system either way, and the fee credits toward a full build if you continue.
From $1,500 · Fixed quote before work begins · Fee credits toward a full build
How it works
Scoped in a call. Quoted on a page. Live in weeks.
01
Scoping call
A 30-minute call to understand how the work runs today and pick the single highest-leverage system to build first.
02
Fixed quote
A one-page pilot scope: what gets built, what it connects to, what it costs. Priced from $1,500, agreed before work begins.
03
Build — 2 to 3 weeks
We build on the systems you already run and test with your team along the way. Less than two hours of your time, total.
04
Handover
The system goes live with documentation and 30 days of support. You own it — and the fee credits toward a full build if you continue.
What a pilot looks like
Typical first builds, by sector.
Every pilot is scoped to your operation, but these are the shapes they most often take.
Municipalities
One department's recurring council or board report automated end-to-end — from source systems to a finished, traceable packet — or a live backlog dashboard for permits and service requests.
More on municipalities →Trade Economics
A landed-cost dashboard for one product line or lane — product cost, freight, duties, and FX combined — live on your real data, with the pipeline that keeps it current.
More on trade economics →Logistics
RouteOps configured for your fleet — routes, drivers, hubs, and dispatch workflow — operational by the end of the engagement, with a live dispatch dashboard replacing the morning spreadsheet.
More on logistics →Small Business
A DashEase owner dashboard connected to your QuickBooks — revenue, receivables, and job status live every morning — or one automation (invoicing or lead follow-up) running end-to-end.
More on small business →Why it’s a safe decision
Priced to be easy to approve. Real enough to matter.
Fixed price, agreed first
The quote comes before the work. No hourly billing, no scope drift, no surprise invoice.
You keep the system
Whatever happens after the pilot, the working system, documentation, and data stay with you.
The fee isn't sunk
Continue into a full build and the pilot fee credits toward it in full.
Working software as evidence
You evaluate a larger engagement based on a system running on your real data — not a proposal document.
FAQ
Common questions about the pilot
What does a pilot cost?
Pilots start at $1,500 and are quoted as a fixed price after the scoping call, based on the system being built and the data sources involved. The price is agreed before any work begins — there are no hourly rates and no overruns. If you continue into a full engagement, the pilot fee credits toward it.
What exactly do we get?
One working system, running on your real data, in your environment: a live dashboard, an automation running end-to-end, or a focused workflow tool. Not a slide deck, not a prototype on sample data. It includes handover documentation and 30 days of post-launch support, and you keep the system whether or not we ever work together again.
Why a paid pilot instead of a free assessment?
Because working software is better evidence than a report. The pilot is priced to be a low-risk decision, but real enough that both sides commit: you get a production system and a grounded basis for deciding on a larger engagement; we get to demonstrate value on your actual operation. If you'd rather start with zero commitment, the complimentary Opportunity Map is still available.
What do you need from us?
A 30-minute scoping call, access to the relevant data source (for example QuickBooks, an export from your dispatch or permitting system, or broker statements), and a point of contact who can answer questions during the build. Most pilots require less than two hours of your team's time in total.
What happens after the pilot?
Three outcomes, all acceptable: you keep the system and stop there; you expand it with a fixed-scope full build (the pilot fee credits toward it); or it told you what you needed to know and you walk away with a working tool and no further obligation.
