This started because we needed it.
V1AeroSolutions overhauls aircraft wheels and brakes. Like most independent shops, we ran on paper job cards, spreadsheets, and knowledge that walks out the door when someone takes a holiday.
We looked at what was available. The serious systems were built for airlines and large MROs — expensive, heavy, and full of modules a wheel shop will never open. The lighter tools were well made, but built for general workshops rather than Part 145 work — so Form 1 releases and tool calibration sat outside them. Nobody had built anything for shops like ours.
So we built it ourselves, alongside CodeFlow, with the shop floor as the test bench. Every feature in it exists because a real job needed it. It's been running our shop before we ever offered it to yours.
That's the whole story. No venture money, no roadmap written by people who've never handled a brake assembly — just software built by the people who do this work every day.
