All use cases

For drone service businesses

Drone business management software that starts with the logbook

Most drone businesses run on a CRM, an invoicing tool, a calendar, a folder of PDFs, and a separate flight log. None of them know about each other, so the same job gets typed in four times.

BeaconUAV is drone business management software built on the flight record. A client job holds its schedule, crew, aircraft, safety paperwork, quote, invoice, and deliverables, and the flights flown for it land in the same logbook.

What BeaconUAV handles

Quote, invoice, and deliver in one place

Quotes, invoices, a price book, branded PDFs, signatures, and client portal delivery. Clients open documents from a private link without an account. BeaconUAV records payments made elsewhere; it does not charge cards for you.

Schedule crews and aircraft

Day, week, month, and people views. Equipment conflicts are blocked; pilot conflicts warn and an authorized manager can override.

Keep safety paperwork with the job

Preflight checklists, JHA, mission plans, airspace authorization records, and incident reporting with manager sign-off.

Email clients from your own address

Booking and deliverable notices can send from your own domain once you connect your mail server and pass a test send.
