The Problem

Your next customer already called.

Most aerospace businesses under fifty people do not have a lead problem. They have a follow-up problem. The work comes in. It just does not always get answered.

4:40 PM

An RFQ lands in a shared inbox. Nobody owns it. It gets answered Tuesday, and by then the buyer has three other quotes.

Saturday

A discovery flight inquiry comes through the website while the office is closed. No reply goes out until Monday afternoon.

Day 3

A quote went out and nobody followed up. It dies quietly at "we will get back to you."

Six years

Every customer you have ever served sits in a spreadsheet. None of them have heard from you since the invoice cleared.

You already know you are leaking revenue. What you do not have is the system to stop it, or the time to build one.

Ground Control is that system, installed and managed for you. Built for machine shops and AS9100 suppliers, MRO and avionics, flight schools, charter operators, training providers, and the consultancies that serve them.

The System

Every inquiry captured.
Every follow-up sent.

One platform, configured to how your shop actually works, then run for you. Nothing to install. Nothing to figure out.

01

Missed-Call Text-Back

A call you cannot pick up becomes a text within seconds. The conversation starts instead of ending.

02

One Inbox

Calls, texts, email, web chat, and social messages land in a single thread per customer. No more hunting across four apps.

03

Your Pipeline

RFQ to quote. Inquiry to enrolled. Built around your process, not a generic sales funnel borrowed from another industry.

04

Follow-Up That Runs Itself

Quotes get chased. Dormant customers get reactivated. The revenue you already earned stops walking out the door.

05

Booking & Calendar

Customers book directly. Confirmations and reminders go out on their own. Fewer no-shows, fewer phone calls.

06

Reputation

Review requests fire automatically after a job closes and route to Google, where your next customer is already looking.

07

Mobile

Run the whole thing from the shop floor or the ramp. The owner does not need to be at a desk to close work.

08

Managed, Not Handed Over

We build it, we maintain it, we answer when something breaks. You are buying an outcome, not another subscription to administer.

What we do not touch

A customer communication system — not a repository for controlled technical data.

ITAR & EAR

No controlled technical data, drawings, or specifications enter Ground Control. Ever. Customer names, inquiries, quotes, and scheduling only. We will say this again in onboarding, in writing.

Ad spend and ad management
Website design and build
ERP and MRP integration
Quality management systems
Anything touching production data

Why this comes from TOP 100

Since 2021 we have measured and verified the people who move this industry forward, across more than forty countries and seventy disciplines. That work taught us how aerospace businesses actually win work: slowly, through relationships, and almost never through advertising. Ground Control is built on that understanding. It is the same infrastructure we run ourselves.

Founding Cohort

The first five accounts receive fifty percent off for six months and no onboarding fee.

In exchange we ask for a documented case study with real numbers, a short testimonial, and a Google review. We would rather earn proof than claim it.

We will record a 5-minute Loom showing exactly where inquiries enter your business and where they stall. You keep the map whether or not you work with us.
