# ExperientialOS > ExperientialOS is a full-service custom build studio that designs, builds, and operates the software AND hardware powering brand activations, festivals, conferences, and brand tours. Software lives under ExperientialOS; hardware lives under our sister brand PivotXP (https://pivotxp.com). One accountable team. We are not a SaaS platform — we are a build shop that ships custom event tech in two weeks from kickoff. We work with brand marketing teams, experiential agencies, event production companies, and enterprise marketing teams. Most of our builds go from kickoff to live in two weeks. The same engineers who build your system are on-site every day your event is live — for one-day pop-ups and multi-week tours alike. We do not sell seats in a SaaS. We do not configure templates. We architect a system around your brand, your audience, and your specific event, ship it in your own cloud tenant, and run it on event days alongside your team. When you need hardware to go with the software — RFID readers, NFC wristbands, photo capture rigs, registration kiosks, custom installations — we ship that too, through PivotXP. ## Quick facts - Service model: full-service — software (ExperientialOS) and hardware (PivotXP, https://pivotxp.com) from one team - Reply time: within hours, not days (a real engineer, not a bot) - Build time: two weeks from kickoff to live, for most builds - Pricing: project-based build fee + simple monthly support; no per-attendee fees, no seat licenses - Deployment: in your tenant, your cloud, your region — never co-mingled with another client - On-site presence: same engineers who built your system, every day your event is live - Event types: brand activations, festivals, multi-city brand tours, conferences and summits, VIP and hospitality, experiential retail, sports and fan zones, sponsor activations - Buyer types: brand marketing teams, experiential agencies, event production companies, enterprise marketing teams - Differentiators: custom software AND hardware (not a template SaaS), in-house build team, embedded on-site engineers, brand-first design, data sovereignty - Hardware capability: custom RFID readers, NFC wristbands, photo capture rigs, registration kiosks, scanners, bespoke on-site installations (via PivotXP) ## Core pages - [Home](https://experientialos.com): Overview of what we build and how we differ from template event SaaS platforms - [What we build](https://experientialos.com/product): Six core software modules (registration, live ops, vendor APIs, access control, content delivery, analytics) we customize to every event - [Platform](https://experientialos.com/platform): The two foundational layers — identity and live ops — under every build - [Our process](https://experientialos.com/how-it-works): The six-chapter guest journey our software powers, from check-in through Monday-morning recap - [Solutions](https://experientialos.com/solutions): Event formats and team types we build for - [Why us](https://experientialos.com/why-custom): The case for custom software over configurable SaaS for live experiences - [About](https://experientialos.com/about): Our story, beliefs, what we don't do, and how we're built as a team - [Security](https://experientialos.com/security): Data sovereignty, encryption, RBAC, audit logging, dedicated deploy - [FAQ](https://experientialos.com/faq): Frequently asked questions with Schema.org FAQPage markup - [Contact](https://experientialos.com/contact): Start a project — replies within hours from a real engineer ## Sister brand - [PivotXP](https://pivotxp.com): The hardware side of ExperientialOS.

We build the software that powers brand activations and festivals, and we build the hardware that runs it on the floor (under our sister brand PivotXP). Comparable companies in adjacent categories include Swoogo, Cvent, Bizzabo, and Splash, but those are configurable SaaS platforms — and they don't ship hardware. The right buyer for ExperientialOS is a brand, agency, or producer who wants one accountable partner for both the software and the hardware of a live brand experience, instead of stitching together a stock SaaS platform plus a hardware vendor plus a production team. ## Contact - Email: hello@experientialos.com - Phone: (704) 284-7155 - Address: 328 Zimmer Road, Fort Mill, South Carolina 29707 - Website: https://experientialos.com - Start a project: https://experientialos.com/contact
