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
ITAR and AS9100 don't care about your spreadsheets.
Aerospace and defense suppliers operate under compliance requirements that are unforgiving of manual processes. The suppliers who win more work and carry less audit risk are the ones whose systems generate compliance evidence automatically — not on demand.

What We Fix
Where Aerospace & Defense operations usually break down.
Launchpad captures the failure modes creating operating drag, develops the Roadmap, and governs the priorities, risks, readiness, and sequence. Metrotechs then architects, engineers, integrates, and supports the approved ERP, Cloud, Data, and AI technology.
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 software for its own sake. The goal is an operating stack where the right records, workflows, controls, and AI use cases are governed by systems your team owns.
Audits become a checkpoint, not a crisis
When AS9100 evidence is generated automatically through normal production — not assembled before an audit — the annual certification review becomes routine. Customers and primes see a supplier who has their process under control.
ITAR exposure is visible and manageable
Access controls tied to your ERP mean ITAR-controlled data is visible only to cleared personnel, and the evidence trail exists automatically. You can answer a government compliance inquiry in hours, not weeks.
Engineering changes propagate correctly
When configuration management runs through a single system, a revision to a controlled drawing updates downstream BOMs, quality requirements, and procurement specs automatically. The "swivel chair tax" of manual reconciliation disappears.
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 Metrotechs Uses Launchpad
Metrotechs develops and governs the Roadmap in Launchpad, then engineers the approved technology.
Launchpad by Metrotechs structures the current state, priorities, dependencies, owners, risks, architecture, implementation plan, and stage gates. Metrotechs then architects, engineers, integrates, and supports the ERP, Cloud, Data, and AI technology identified by the approved Roadmap.
Metrotechs scopes the technology response to compliance posture and system fragmentation
Metrotechs evaluates your current AS9100 documentation, ITAR access controls, and the cost of manual reconciliation across your disconnected systems. Every gap is quantified before Metrotechs chooses the solution path.
- AS9100 gap assessment
- ITAR compliance review
- System fragmentation cost analysis
Metrotechs designs the integration architecture
Metrotechs defines 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
Metrotechs governs rollout readiness
Metrotechs governs AI-connected delivery 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
Where We Start
The first areas Metrotechs inspects.
These readiness areas narrow the first assessment into concrete ERP, Cloud, Data, and AI engineering decisions while Launchpad keeps priorities, risks, ownership, and stage gates governed.
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 your access controls, data handling procedures, and foreign national exposure. Translates current state into quantified risk against ITAR Part 120–130 requirements.
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.
