Where prime MROs send their overflow work. Be in the queue.
JetLens primes subcontract directly through the platform: the request lands in your portal, you quote in it, you work it, you sign the log entry in it. A clean §145.217 trail on every engagement — and you never miss a request again.
Requests find you
When a prime sends work your way you're emailed instantly, with the scope and due date. Quote with amount, hours, and lead time — they're notified the moment you submit.
Work it like your own shop
An approved quote opens a work pack — staged sign-offs through return to service, parts ordered and tracked against each task, and a Chief planner that tells you the one thing to work next to protect the RTS date. Your signed log entry flows back to the prime automatically.
The trail wins you the next job
Every state change is recorded — who quoted, who approved, who signed, when. Primes audit their vendors; being the shop with the clean trail is a competitive advantage.
Chief plans the floor — reading each work pack's tasks, parts, and buyback gates to flag what's blocking return to service, with a CCPM buffer board and capacity heatmap that show which job is eating its schedule and which bay or crew is the bottleneck. Your quality system rides along too: the same JetLens training, authorization, and audit modules run your own shop's compliance on the same login.
Grounded only in your records. Nothing invented. People sign — faster.
