From Field Friction to Spatial Flow A Real Transformation Story—In the Client's Own Words
“Before Obrive, our remote induction process felt stuck in the past—static slide decks, endless spreadsheets, and disconnected video calls that flattened engagement. Then came Obrive’s spatial computing platform, and everything changed. Suddenly, our induction felt alive—immersive, intuitive, and immediate. What used to stretch across weeks now unfolds in a single session. Our new hires retain more, managers spend less time troubleshooting, and the entire process has become more human—without us physically being in the same room.”
Jordan Lee, Head of Operations, SafeBuild Corp.
Understanding the Challenge
SafeBuild struggled with disjointed induction workflows across dispersed teams. The traditional onboarding—laden with presentations, document dumps, and one-way videos—led to low retention, poor engagement, and costly delays in team readiness.
Obrive's Approach:
Structured, Immersive, Scalable
Phase: 1. Deep-Dive Interviews & Journey Mapping
Action
Conducted onboarding workshops to pinpoint friction points—location walkthroughs, safety protocol training, and tool orientation emerged as priorities.
Phase: 2. Rapid Prototype & Feedback Loop
Action
Created a lean spatial experience, ran pilot sessions, gathered feedback, and iterated quickly on interaction cues and scene clarity.
Phase: 3. High-Fidelity Immersive Environment
Action
Built realistic, interactive walkthroughs for headset users—with spatial audio, tool interaction, and responsive guidance.
Phase: 4. Portal-Driven Collaboration
Action
Delivered immersive preview access via a secure portal—no installs needed. Stakeholders could demo, comment, and approve from any location.
Phase: 5. Analytics & Adaptive Guidance
Action
Embedded real-time analytics to track engagement signals. AI prompts surfaced to support users in areas of hesitation or error.
Phase: 6. Phased Rollout & Adoption Scaling
Action
Deployed initially to specific onboarding groups and scaled across global teams as adoption rose and metrics improved.

Efficient and scalable
"Before discovering Obrive, our field training was stuck in the past—gear manuals, dry presentations, phone-based walkthroughs. Imagine trying to explain complex procedures over the phone, across time zones. It was inefficient, unengaging, and frankly, frustrating."
Why It Worked
Human-Centered Immersion
SafeBuild’s learners weren’t just watching—they were doing. That active engagement drove deeper retention.
Frictionless Accessibility
Just like IKEA’s in-store ERP app eliminated onboarding friction for shoppers, Obrive’s portal removed barriers for trainees—no installations, no delays—just instant access.
Smart Assistance
Adaptive in-space prompts guided learners at the moment of need—mirroring the responsive experiences that make digital tools feel intuitive.
Rapid, Scalable Rollout
From pilot to enterprise-wide deployment in a flash—Obrive’s spatial system scaled without manual overhead or lost quality.
Outcome Snapshot
"In a matter of weeks, we turned a protracted, disengaging onboarding into a seamless, immersive session. Learning stuck better, preparation happened faster, and managers were freed from constant check-ins."
