Bluetail, a business and general aviation SaaS company based in Scottsdale, Arizona, is celebrating its first anniversary with the introduction of its newest and most powerful digital records search and automation tool: MACH Search.

“A year ago, we marked the anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic by launching Bluetail. By making it easy and affordable to digitise aircraft records, we set out to revolutionise the way business and general aviation, aircraft owner/operators organised, shared and protected valuable records,” states Bluetail co-founder Stuart Illian. “Today, I'm very happy to say that in the past 12 months, even with COVID restrictions and other challenges, we've exceeded our original goals.”

Fellow co-founder Roberto Guerrieri adds: “With the introduction of our revolutionary MACH Search capability, we are taking a major leap forward in bringing the most advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) machine-learning capabilities into the world of business and private aviation. Building on our cloud-native AWS (Amazon Web Services) platform, MACH Search enables true 'rocket science' level business process automation, sorting, storing and searching. Bluetail's MACH Search now makes record-keeping the easiest part of your aircraft operations.”

Guerrieri explained that MACH Search is the culmination of input from a long list of the company's customer base, including Fortune 500 flight departments, Part 135 charter operators, individual owners, aircraft brokers and flight schools.

“To ensure that MACH Search would be live upon launch for our customers, we ran their records in parallel to the technology's development,” he continues. “To date, we've run over 1,000,000 client records through the MACH machine learning code.”
