The reality

Closing the deal was the easy part.

Most onboarding tools treat your customer as a ticket. Yours treats them as the project they actually are.

Lost in Slack

Customers chase you in 4 different channels. Status updates live in heads, not systems — and the one person who knows is on PTO.

Missed milestones

Phases slip. Approvals stall. By the time you notice, churn risk is already in the pipeline and your QBR slide looks bad.

Spreadsheet entropy

Every implementation manager builds their own template. Nothing scales. Nothing improves. Onboarding #100 looks just like #1.

The platform

One platform. Three jobs.

Orchestrate the work, collaborate with the customer, accelerate everything with AI. Built as one product, not three acquired ones.

01 / ORCHESTRATE

Run every onboarding like your best one.

Templates → phases → milestones → tasks. Reusable, versioned, owned by your team. Automation rules trigger reminders, approvals and handoffs.

White-label customer portal with embedded forms, file uploads, approvals and comments. Magic-link auth — no passwords, no support tickets.

AI that does the boring work, not just the demo.

Draft replies, summarize threads, score project health, and auto-QA forms. Every AI suggestion is reviewable in a queue — humans always in the loop.

PROJECTS

From kickoff to go-live, on one timeline.

Real dependencies. Real ownership. Real progress — the kind that doesn’t need a Monday status meeting to understand.

  • Phases & tasks with owners, dates, dependencies and SLAs — versioned per template.
  • Side-by-side portfolio view: see all 47 active onboardings, filter by risk, sort by go-live date.
  • Custom fields for industry, ARR tier, complexity — drive automations from them.

CUSTOMER PORTAL

Your brand. Your domain. Their progress.

A portal customers actually open. Logo, palette, custom domain — and a magic link that doesn’t make them remember another password.

  • White-label theming — logo, colors, fonts, custom domain. Looks like your product, not ours.
  • Embedded forms & uploads — request the W-9, the SSO metadata, the brand assets in one place.
  • One-click approvals with full audit trail — never “who signed off on this?” again.

AI SUITE

Four AI tools that earn their keep.

Not a chatbot. Four focused, queue-based AI tools that draft, summarize, score and QA — and ask for review before anything ships.

  • Drafts — reply suggestions from full thread context, ready to edit and send.
  • Insights — weekly health scores per project, with the “why” attached.
  • Auto-QA — form submissions checked for missing fields, conflicts, bad data before they hit your inbox.
  • Review queue — every AI action is human-approvable. No surprises, full audit log.

AI DRAFT
Hi Sarah, confirming Thursday 2pm PT for the data model review. I’ve attached the proposed schema with the 7 custom fields mapped to your CRM. A few open questions: should “Renewal Owner” sync from HubSpot or Salesforce? Looking forward to it.

AUTOMATIONS

If this, then that — for onboarding.

Composable rules in plain English. When phase ends, kick off the next one. When form is filed, assign a reviewer. When task is overdue, nudge — then escalate.

  • Visual rule builder with triggers, conditions and actions — no YAML, no Zapier middleware.
  • Built-in actions: assign, notify, request approval, post to Slack, fire webhook, create task.
  • Dry-run mode — test rules against historical projects before flipping them on.

We replaced a Notion board, three Google Sheets and a private Slack channel with FirstValue. Our customers stopped asking “where are we?” — they just check the portal. We doubled our team’s project capacity without hiring.

FAQ

Questions you’d ask on a sales call.

FirstValue is built for the same job, but smaller, faster, and with AI baked in from the first commit — not bolted on later. Three concrete differences: (1) transparent per-user pricing with a real free tier, (2) self-host option for teams in regulated industries, (3) a focused AI suite (drafts, insights, auto-QA, review queue) instead of a single chat box.
Yes — on the Enterprise plan, or if you’re an open-source contributor. You run it on your AWS, GCP or on-prem with your own Postgres, S3 and SMTP. The same Docker image powers our hosted product, so feature parity is real.
White-labelled. Your logo, your colors, your custom domain (e.g. onboard.acme-corp.com). Customers sign in with a magic link — no passwords, no support tickets. They see exactly what’s owed, by whom, by when.
No. We use model providers with zero-retention agreements and we never use customer content to train our own models. Every AI output passes through a review queue — humans approve before anything ships to the customer. You can also turn AI off per-workspace.
Yes — native two-way integrations for both. Pull deal data on close-won to auto-spin a project from your template. Push project health and go-live dates back as custom properties. Plus Slack, Teams, Jira, Linear, Gmail, Drive, Notion, and webhooks for everything else.
Median time from sign-up to first customer in portal is 22 minutes. Pick a template, invite your team, brand the portal, send a magic link. No implementation engagement, no “rollout playbook”, no $15k professional-services line item.
Yes. Free forever, up to 3 active projects and 1 customer portal. Includes the audit log and RBAC — the security basics shouldn’t be paywalled.
SOC 2 Type II audit in progress (Q3 2026). GDPR-ready with DPA and subprocessor list. EU and US data residency on the Enterprise plan. Self-host customers obviously choose their own region.

Your next onboarding starts in 2 minutes.

No credit card. No “talk to sales” wall. Just open a project and invite your customer.
