Why pilots, not contracts

Working with a new vendor doesn't have to mean a long commitment

We're a new business. We know what that means for procurement teams: risk. Structured pilot programs let you evaluate Quantum Mobility against your actual environment, on defined terms, with a clear exit path if the deployment doesn't meet its targets or your program changes direction.

Each pilot tier below has a specific sponsor, scope, and duration. Pricing and exit terms are agreed up front and written into the engagement contract.

Three Structured Paths

Pick the tier that matches who is sponsoring the engagement in your program.

SI-Led

System Integrator Pilot

SI-sponsored · inside a broader modernization program

Scope
Nexus as a specialist sub-system within the SI's broader delivery. Reduces the SI's custom reconciliation and settlement build.
Duration
4 – 6 months, aligned to the SI's program milestones
Deliverables
Integration spec · first reconciliation cycle · first settlement output · operational runbook
Exit
Defined at contract signing. No obligation to extend if pilot targets are not met.
Operator-Led

Operator Pilot

Operator-sponsored · tolling back-office modernization

Scope
Nexus integrated into the operator's existing back-office for cross-operator reconciliation and settlement consistency. Toll-to-RUC evolution supported.
Duration
6 months to first production reconciliation cycle
Deliverables
Integration with existing systems · parallel-run reconciliation · production cutover · settlement visibility for finance team
Exit
Structured handover path if operator decides not to continue. No data lock-in.
Authority-Led

Authority Pilot

DOT / authority-sponsored · multi-operator coordination

Scope
Neutral shared settlement layer across multiple operators under one authority. Focused on cross-operator auditability and financial transparency.
Duration
6 – 9 months, including multi-operator onboarding
Deliverables
Shared reconciliation across participating operators · cross-agency audit trail · settlement distribution with authority oversight
Exit
Authority retains all data and audit records. Structured transition if scope is not continued.

Shared Engagement Principles

Defined Scope

Every pilot starts with a 4-week scoping engagement that produces a signed-off integration specification. Scope cannot drift without a written amendment.

Fixed Duration

Pilots have a specific end date. Extensions are possible but not automatic — they require a new conversation about what you've learned and what comes next.

Measurable Targets

Reconciliation cycle predictability, exception handling targets, settlement cadence. All agreed in writing before the pilot begins.

No Revenue Custody

Settlement outputs are produced without Quantum Mobility taking custody of revenue flows. Financial control stays with participating authorities and operators.

No Data Lock-In

You retain all transaction and settlement data generated during the pilot. If you decide not to continue, structured handover is part of the contract.

No Rip-and-Replace

Existing field, capture, validation, and enforcement systems continue to operate within their own boundaries throughout the pilot.

Start with a Scoping Conversation

Every pilot begins with a 4-week scoping engagement. We jointly define integration surface, targets, and exit terms — then decide together whether to proceed.
