Work, Reimagined with AI.

Outcome as a Service · say it like “oasis”

Welcome to
the OaaS.

Software included. Consulting built in. One retainer for the outcome — not the seats.

For thirty years you could Buy software that never delivered the outcome, or Build it and never ship. Herd is the third option: senior operators and one AI-native work platform, under one contract, and you Own the outcome.

Out there

It’s a desert of apps.

Siloed tools make it impossible to reimagine work, or to put AI to real use. Licenses go unused, spend is wasted, and leaders can’t see across the business.

The old choice

Buy locks you in.
Build wears you out.

Seat-based SaaS that never delivers the outcome, or custom code that overruns and never ships. Four numbers your board is already reading.

Buy

Seat-based SaaS with AI bolted on top.

78%

of IT leaders saw AI charges they never budgeted. Consumption pricing has no ceiling.

Zylo 2026 SaaS Management Index

95%

of enterprise GenAI pilots deliver no P&L impact. More SaaS didn’t fix it.

MIT Project NANDA, 2026

Build

Custom code and a consultant exit.

79%

of enterprises overran their AI budget last year. Consultants leave; the code doesn’t finish itself.

DoiT / Sapio Research, 2026

66%

of large IT projects overrun or fail outright. Building from scratch is a coin flip.

What’s in the OaaS

Consulting and technology, together, at a fraction of the cost of the stack you run today.

We built Herd: Work because the answer to SaaS sprawl isn’t another SaaS app. It’s one workspace, your models, your tools, your data — turning the noise across your business into ranked actions.

  1. 01

    Consulting

    Senior operators, not junior admins. Your team is built in from day one: workflow mapping, migration, change management, and weekly enhancements — 40 to 120+ hours a month depending on the package.

  2. 02

    Technology

    One AI-native platform. CRM, projects, docs, chat, meetings, cases, workflows, and agents in a single system of record — so 30+ apps can be retired instead of integrated.

  3. 03

    Economics

    A fraction of the cost. Migration included. One SOW at roughly half of a comparable stack, with implementation work that may qualify for capitalization under ASC 350-40 — confirm treatment with your auditor.

How the platform works

Signals in. Actions out.

In a typical week inside Herd: Work, 423 signals become 84 scored actions, delivered to the right people in one workspace.

  1. STEP 1

    Signals

    Email, calendar, calls, messages, CRM, projects, tickets — automatically.

  2. STEP 2

    Intelligence

    AI reasons across your unified business context to rank what matters.

  3. STEP 3

    Action

    Scored tasks, workflows, and updates land with the right people.

How we start

Thirty days to water.

Start with a free proof-of-concept in your business. If it works, roll up to a monthly retainer. No commitment until there’s proof.

  1. DAY 0

    Free proof-of-concept

    A limited pilot with real hands-on use of the platform. Zero commitment.

  2. WEEKS 1–3

    We onboard your SMEs

    We map your workflows and walk your subject-matter experts through the platform. Setup and migration included.

  3. DAY 30

    Off you go

    A unified, AI-driven workspace at your fingertips — with weekly enhancements from there.

What your team gets in 30 days

Faster ramp
New hires productive in weeks, not quarters — one workspace instead of 30 tools.
Cleaner tech stack
Retire duplicate SaaS. One system of record for people, accounts, and projects.
Fewer clicks

Predictable spend
One retainer. Consumption monitored and optimized. No blank check.

Pricing · the Own model

One retainer. No seats. No adoption tax.

Platform plus services under one SOW. Every tier includes the software; what changes is the depth of the team and the outcomes we commit to together.

CFO takeaway: Buy is OpEx and a year-one EBITDA hit. Build is OpEx plus overrun risk. Own is one SOW at roughly 50% of your current stack, with implementation work eligible for capitalization under ASC 350-40 (per ASU 2025-06). Confirm treatment with your auditor.
