Maintenance, ground handling, training partners — kept under structural oversight. SLA targets are tracked against actuals; drift surfaces as a finding. The accountable manager still signs the close-out, regardless of who performed the activity.
Every provider has its own scorecard scoped to the agreement you signed. Bars light by drift class. The accountable-manager signature chain sits beside the metrics — one workflow, one audit trail.
Scope of work, agreed SLA, drift class, finding history, signature chain. All five live on the same record. Pull the audit-ready package on demand — not the night before the inspection.
A new ground handler, MRO contract, training partner. Each becomes a provider record with its scope of work, its agreed SLA targets, and the contractual evidence linked. The accountable manager is named at onboarding, not after the first audit finding.
Turn time creeps over target, damage incidents climb, audit findings accumulate. The platform raises a typed finding against the provider, routes it through the same severity ladder as your internal findings, and surfaces it on the scorecard before the next contract review.
Provider audits use the same checklists, the same finding model, the same evidence rules as your internal QMS. The provider sees only what you scope into their lane — their findings, their evidence, their closure deadlines.
A finding raised against a provider opens a corrective action with the provider as owner and your team as verifier. Owner cannot bypass verifier; the workflow refuses. Every state change is signed and time-stamped on both sides.
Provider sign-off, operations sign-off, accountable manager sign-off — the chain is part of the close-out workflow. There is no separate folder of approval emails. The audit trail is the workflow.
Provider records flow into the rest of your safety system without an integration project. Four examples that matter on Monday morning.
Walk through the SLA model, a drift finding, and the accountable-manager sign-off — with the founder, on your contract shape, in 30 minutes.
