GroundControl is modern First Article Inspection software built for aerospace manufacturing teams that need AS9102 Rev C-compliant FAIRs done right 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 templates—all from one cloud platform.
Auto-Balloon any 2D PDF, including hand-drawn and scanned prints.
Record FAI measurements directly from any CMM to complete AS9102 forms
Error Validation to ensure no typos, missing fields, or out-of-tolerance measurements
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.

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.
Connect every supplier in one place and get real-time visibility into FAIRs and inspection results across your supply chain. GroundControl streamlines supplier FAI (and PPAP-style) workflows so new product introductions move faster and approvals don’t bottleneck. Keep ongoing supplier quality control simple with seamless data sharing, clear feedback loops, and structured issue/SCAR tracking. The result: quality verified at the source, far fewer escapes and rework, lower cost of poor quality, and thousands of hours saved each year.
Automatically validate incoming supplier quality documentation to avoid endless email chains
Aggregate inspection data across suppliers and part numbers, without dealing with Excel and PDFs
Conduct SPC and uncover insights with an AI-powered statistics platform
Enjoy full customization and configuration of APQP / PPAP checklists
AI-powered data entry to assist in quick and accurate completion of forms
Create re-usable templates to save time in future PPAPs for similar part families
GroundControl’s Supplier Quality & APQP toolkit is a cloud platform that keeps product-quality work moving from design through production—internally and with suppliers. Create and manage DFMEAs, PFMEAs, control plans, inspection plans, and FAIR packages in one connected workspace instead of scattered spreadsheets and PDFs. Suppliers can submit first articles, get feedback, and close the loop in the same system, speeding launches across multi-tier supply chains and reducing escapes through clear traceability and real-time visibility.
