First Article Inspection Software
GroundControl gives supplier quality teams a faster path to AS9102 Rev C-compliant FAIRs that pass customer review the first time.
Auto-balloon drawings in seconds, extract characteristics, import CMM results instantly, and export to AS9102C forms, Net-Inspect, Excel, or customer-specific templatesfrom one cloud workflow built for supplier submissions.
- Auto-Balloon any 2D PDF, including hand-drawn and scanned prints
- Record FAI measurements directly from any CMM to complete AS9102 forms
- Run validation checks before submission to catch typos, missing fields, and out-of-tolerance results
APQP & PPAP Software Solution
GroundControl's APQP and PPAP workflow helps supplier teams build customer-ready packages without spreadsheet stitching or duplicate entry.
Manage DFMEAs, PFMEAs, control plans, inspection plans, and FAIR evidence in one connected workspace. Tier 1/2 suppliers can package deliverables once, route internal approval, then submit with full revision traceability for each customer.
- Configure APQP and PPAP checklists for each customer requirement and submission format
- Capture multi-sample inspection results and attach evidence directly to PPAP elements
- Reuse approved templates to accelerate repeat submissions across similar part families
Supplier Quality Management
Built for contract manufacturers and Tier 1/2 suppliers that must review, compile, and submit complete packages to customers on tight deadlines.
Keep supplier submission cycles tight with shared requirement checklists, internal approval gates, and structured issue and SCAR tracking. The result is fewer resubmissions, faster approvals, and cleaner customer handoffs.
- Compile FAIR, PPAP, certs, and evidence into one submission package per customer requirement
- Add internal review and validation before sending packages to OEM and Tier customer portals
- Track customer feedback, revision loops, and corrective actions without losing traceability
CMMC Visitor Check-In
Run a CMMC-compliant visitor sign in program, without the fluff. Digitize your lobby check-in process without paying for an iPad or expensive label printer ink. Get fully setup in less than 10 minutes.
- Alert hosts with an email and text message when their guests arrive and are fully checked-in
- Verify your visitors are who they say they are by capturing IDs and screen them against many different lists
- Configure your system and enforce NDAs each time a new guest comes to your site
