Compliance infrastructure that doesn't scale
AS9100 and ITAR requirements don't forgive manual documentation. When evidence generation depends on tribal knowledge and spreadsheets, audit preparation takes weeks and findings multiply.
Aerospace & Defense
Keep compliance evidence, controlled records, and supplier work connected.
Aerospace and defense suppliers need dependable connections among controlled product data, customer requirements, supplier records, labor reporting, quality evidence, and the people authorized to use them.
Aerospace & Defense systems: connect the records, decisions, and handoffs behind the work.

Handoffswith visible exceptions

What We Fix
Where Aerospace & Defense operations usually break down.
These are the points where useful industry systems often stop supporting the work around them. We trace the record, owner, decision, and downstream consequence before recommending a technology response.
Configuration data spread across systems
Part numbers, revision levels, and ITAR classifications sitting in separate systems create reconciliation overhead and change-propagation failures that cost engineering teams enormous amounts of time.
DCAA labor reporting done by hand
Manual DCAA labor allocation creates exposure on every government contract. First article inspections and NCR routing depend on people knowing the right steps rather than systems enforcing them.
What Gets Better
The outcomes Metrotechs designs around.
The goal is not more software. It is clearer work, dependable records, accountable exceptions, and technology the business can operate and improve.
Audits become a checkpoint, not a crisis
When normal work produces complete, reviewable evidence, audit preparation becomes a check of governed records instead of a separate reconstruction project.
ITAR exposure is visible and manageable
Role-based access, record classification, and audit history can help the business control who may use sensitive information and show how access decisions were applied.
Engineering changes propagate correctly
Governed configuration management helps teams carry approved revisions into BOMs, quality requirements, procurement specifications, and downstream work without depending on manual notification alone.
Long lead time decisions are made earlier
AI-assisted lead time prediction and component obsolescence alerts let procurement act on risk before it becomes a schedule impact. A&D suppliers who manage this proactively carry less expedite cost and fewer customer escalations.
Manufacturing Sub-Industry
Aerospace & Defense manufacturers with system complexity hiding in daily work.
Metrotechs is a fit when the real problem is not one application. It is the handoff between records, approvals, production, fulfillment, finance, reporting, and customer commitments.

How We Approach The Work
Understand the current operation before changing the systems.
We begin with operating evidence, define the result and constraints, then sequence the smallest sound response. Launchpad is available when the work needs a governed Roadmap across multiple priorities.
Assess compliance posture and system fragmentation
We evaluate your current AS9100 documentation, ITAR access controls, and the cost of manual reconciliation across your disconnected systems. Every gap is quantified before we discuss solutions.
- AS9100 gap assessment
- ITAR compliance review
- System fragmentation cost analysis
Design the integration architecture
We define how configuration management, compliance evidence, DCAA labor reporting, and FAI documentation will operate inside a unified system — before any configuration begins.
- Configuration management design
- Compliance workflow mapping
- ERP integration architecture
Govern delivery against the design
We manage implementation against the agreed architecture, validating each phase against the compliance benchmarks established in the assessment. The system that goes live is the one that was designed.
- Phased delivery governance
- Compliance validation
- Team enablement
What We Review First
Start with the records and decisions carrying the most risk.
These areas help determine whether the right response is process clarification, data cleanup, integration, reporting, workflow improvement, a platform change, or a broader transformation Roadmap.
AS9100 Gap Assessment
Maps your quality management system against AS9100 Rev D requirements. Identifies documentation, process, and system gaps — and sequences remediation by audit risk and operational impact.
ITAR Compliance Posture Review
Reviews access controls, data handling procedures, role boundaries, and available evidence against the applicable ITAR responsibilities identified by the business and its qualified advisers.
System Fragmentation Cost Analysis
Counts your disconnected systems and calculates the annual cost of manual reconciliation, duplicate data entry, and the engineer hours spent bridging systems instead of building product.
