Overview
ACE Intel is an operating system built for aircraft brokers, not generic enterprise software. The platform unifies market data, inventory, valuations, and deal workflows into a single aviation-native workspace so brokers can spend less time on busywork and more time closing transactions.
Key Features
• Live Inventory & Market Visibility : Track aircraft inventory across makes and models, see pricing shifts, and stay ahead of off-market opportunities.
• Broker Workflow Management : Manage listings, acquisitions, client aircraft, and deal desks with workflows designed around the broker lifecycle.
• Valuations with Confidence : Build broker-grade valuations using structured evaluations, comparable sales, and historical data for defensible pricing.
• Client-Ready Reporting : Create professional, shareable market reports that update live and are optimized for client delivery.
• AI Research & Market Intelligence : Ask questions of the market data and receive sourced, structured answers backed by broker-grade insights.
• Unified Deal Desk : Track every opportunity through each stage with visual deal cards, notes, and activity timelines.
Technologies Used
• Frontend : React for a fast, intuitive broker interface
• Backend & Realtime : Supabase for authentication, real-time collaboration, and data synchronization
• Database : PostgreSQL for structured, aviation-native data modeling and robust analytics
• Data Infrastructure : Market data normalization and fast querying for real-time pricing and inventory updates
Challenges and Learnings
• Aviation-Native UX : Delivering workflows that matched how brokers actually work required deep domain understanding and iterative product design.
• Data Normalization : Aircraft data is complex and inconsistent—standardizing it for reliable market visibility and valuations was essential.
• Performance : Providing live reports, inventory updates, and deal tracking in a responsive UI demanded careful backend optimization.
• Broker Adoption : Building a tool that brokers would actually use meant avoiding unnecessary features and focusing on real-world deal management pain points.
Outcome
ACE Intel allows aircraft brokers to move faster, make more informed decisions, and scale their advisory work without relying on disconnected tools. By bringing market intelligence, valuations, and workflow management into one platform, it turns broker operations into a cohesive, high-performing business system.
Impact
• Reduced time spent reconciling spreadsheets and scattered tools
• Increased broker confidence with market-backed valuations
• Improved deal visibility and pipeline management for aircraft advisory teams
