Nexos, founded in 2024 in San Diego, is the AI and software development division of Abrams & Luchanski: we build AI agents, private language models, system integrations and custom software for companies across Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Every Nexos build in the Inland Empire starts with a free technology audit, a call and a written report mapping which processes are worth automating. During the paid build, discovery, acceptance testing and staff training happen in person at your warehouse, clinic, yard or office, while the engineering between those visits runs remotely from San Diego.

The single largest block of work in the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro area is trade, transportation and utilities: the Bureau of Labor Statistics put it at about 452,300 jobs in August 2026, more than a quarter of all nonfarm employment. Behind that number sit distribution centers, third-party logistics providers, drayage and trucking fleets, wholesalers and the maintenance shops that keep them running. Their paperwork is bills of lading, appointment schedules, proofs of delivery, carrier invoices and claims — high in volume and repetitive in shape.
Health care is the second pillar. Education and health services account for roughly 361,000 jobs across the metro, and the Census Bureau recorded $18.5 billion in health care and social assistance receipts in San Bernardino County alone in 2022. Meanwhile the region keeps building: Riverside County issued permits for 9,697 new housing units in 2025, which feeds a long tail of builders, subcontractors, title and escrow offices, property managers and home-service trades.
Most of the businesses doing this work are small. Riverside County had 36,526 employer firms in the 2023 reference year, and San Bernardino County counted 177,961 establishments that run without any payroll. Owner-operators, independent carriers and family-run contractors rarely employ a developer, so the software between their tools is usually a person with a spreadsheet and a phone.
Nexos has no Inland Empire projects to show, and this section does not suggest otherwise. It is our reading of where a build is most likely to return its cost, given the industries and firm sizes above.
A logistics office receives rate confirmations, delivery receipts and accessorial charges as PDFs and photos, then types them into a transportation management or billing system. An agent that reads each document, fills the record and flags anything that does not match the load — for a dispatcher to confirm — takes the retyping out of the day.
Order data often arrives from a retailer portal, passes through a warehouse management system and ends in accounting, with spreadsheet exports bridging each gap. Direct integrations with alerts on a failed hand-off keep shipments from stalling unseen between systems.
Clinics, behavioural-health programmes and home-care agencies want help drafting notes, letters and referral summaries without sending patient details to a public chatbot. A model running on hardware the practice controls keeps that material inside the organisation. On-premises installation is quoted as a build. The design takes HIPAA and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act into account, and the practice settles with its own counsel whether any patient data may leave its hardware at all, including to a hosted service.
Subdivision work means dozens of lots, each with its own inspections, change orders and punch lists. A purpose-built job app that crews update from the field, feeding one schedule the office trusts, replaces the whiteboard and the group text.
Companies spread from Corona to the High Desert tend to keep each site’s numbers in its own format. A shared reporting layer that pulls those numbers together gives the owner one weekly picture of volume, labour and margin by location.
California’s rules apply here as they do statewide: the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, the California Privacy Protection Agency’s regulations on automated decisionmaking technology and risk assessments, and the Civil Rights Council’s rules on automated-decision systems in employment. Each is itemised, with official links and dates, on our California page. California’s rules, itemised →
Warehouse operators have an extra rule to design around. Under Labor Code sections 2100 and 2101 (AB 701, effective January 1, 2022), an employer with 100 or more employees at a single warehouse distribution center, or 1,000 or more across its warehouse distribution centers in California, must give each nonexempt worker there a written description of any quota they are held to — so a productivity model, pick-rate tracker or scheduling tool is scoped with those disclosures in mind from the first workshop.
General information, not legal advice. Laws, regulations and their effective dates change; confirm how they apply to your business with your own counsel.
After the free audit and a written, fixed-price scope, an Inland Empire build opens with an on-site session where the work actually happens: the dispatch desk, the dock office, the front desk of a clinic or a site trailer. We watch a few real transactions from start to finish and note every system and hand-off they touch before the engineering begins. Drive times across both counties vary widely, so visit days are planned ahead as part of the proposal.
Once the scope is agreed, building happens remotely, and you try a test version with your own data before anything reaches staff. On-site visits for acceptance, go-live and training are scheduled in the proposal. If your operation runs night or weekend shifts, raise it at discovery, and the proposal will state how those shifts are observed, whether on site or from recorded transactions.
Inland Empire discovery is led by Aidan Luchans, who founded Abrams & Luchanski, designed and built the Nexos Platform and leads Nexos engineering, so whoever writes your scope is also the one who builds it. The About page on the firm site has the founder’s background.
In person across Southern California: San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Imperial counties, the Coachella Valley included. Pacific Time, so meetings fall inside your normal working day.
The free technology audit is a call and a written audit, wherever you are, Southern California included. In Southern California, on-site sessions (workshops, discovery at your premises, design reviews, acceptance testing and training) are part of a paid build, not the free audit.
Audit — free: a call and a written technology audit.
Build — from $4,900 per fixed-scope project.
Run — from $890/month for a hosted private model.
The same prices everywhere. See pricing.
Aidan Luchans founded Abrams & Luchanski in San Diego in 2024, and designed and built the Nexos Platform, a multi-tenant AI operations platform: AI agents, multi-step workflows with human approval, connections to roughly 90 business tools, and private knowledge search.
Aidan leads both the firm’s advisory work and Nexos’s engineering, so the person who scopes a project also builds it.
Every city in both counties is inside our in-person area, and the list below is a sample, not a boundary; for the High Desert and the eastern county, visit days are set in the proposal.
The first step, a technology audit, is free. Builds start from $4,900 as a fixed price per project, quoted after the audit, and a hosted private model starts from $890 a month. A single document agent for a trucking office costs far less than a full custom platform, so we scope the smallest version that proves the value first.
Usually the document that gets typed in most often — delivery receipts, carrier invoices or purchase orders. It is easy to measure how long that work takes today, the data is already structured once read, and a person still approves each entry until the error rate has been proven low.
It depends on scope, and the written proposal lays out the milestones, including when you first try a test version with your own data. A single agent or one integration is a much shorter project than a full custom application, so starting narrow gets something working sooner.
Yes. Ontario, Riverside and every other city in Riverside and San Bernardino counties fall inside our in-person area, so a build’s discovery, acceptance and training take place at your site, while engineering runs remotely from San Diego in between. For a defined piece of work, such as one document agent, one integration or one job-tracking app, contracting the build is usually simpler than hiring: each project is quoted at a fixed price from $4,900 after the free audit, so the total is known before work starts and no salary carries on once it ships. An in-house developer makes more sense when software is a permanent, full-time part of how the company competes.
It can, if the system is designed around the rules rather than patched afterwards. Large warehouse employers must disclose quotas to workers in writing (Labor Code § 2100 et seq.), and the Civil Rights Council’s Employment Regulations Regarding Automated Decision Systems, in force since October 1, 2025, cover automated tools used in employment decisions, so we map those obligations with your HR lead and counsel before building anything that scores or ranks people.
