What is ABOS?

ABOS — the Autonomous Business Operating System — is a single AI system that runs the back office of a service business: lead generation, proposals, cash flow, client retention, reviews, ads, content, scheduling and reporting. Instead of a stack of separate vendors and tools, it’s one coordinated system that does the work and reports to you. Read the full definition →

What does ABOS cost?

It depends on which pillars you turn on and the size of your operation, so we don’t publish a one-size price. The more useful number is what it replaces — agency retainers, software subscriptions, and admin hours. ABOS is designed to cost less than the stack it consolidates while doing the work more consistently. Your free assessment gives you a real number for your business.

Do I have to use all nine pillars?

No. Most owners start with the two or three functions that are leaking the most time or money and expand from there. You can run a single pillar or the whole system. See the nine pillars →

How long does setup take?

ABOS is a productized system, not a year-long custom implementation. The exact timeline depends on which pillars you start with and how your business is set up, but it’s designed to get running quickly rather than after months of consulting. We map the plan in your assessment.

Will it replace my staff?

It’s designed to take repetitive, process-driven work off your team — not replace judgment, relationships or craft. Most owners use ABOS to free their best people from admin so they can do higher-value work. See ABOS vs. in-house staff →

Can ABOS work with the software I already use?

Often, yes. Many businesses keep their existing system of record and run ABOS as the autonomous layer that does the work across it. See ABOS vs. field-service software →

What kinds of businesses is ABOS for?

Owner-led service businesses, roughly $1M–$50M in revenue — cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, pest control, roofing, electrical, restoration, property management, med spas and similar recurring-service trades. See industry pages →

Who is behind ABOS?

ABOS is built and operated by Investera Holdings, which owns and runs commercial cleaning and facility companies. ABOS is the productized version of the operating system we use to run our own businesses — built by operators, not a software startup guessing at the trades.
