We started because the software was bad.
Cloud Vector was founded in 2024 to build operations software that holds up outside a demo — in the hands of people doing the actual work, in the conditions it actually happens in.
Aviation software has a pattern.
It demos well and fails on the ramp. It assumes connectivity that isn't there. It asks for eleven taps when a technician has one free hand. It produces records that fall apart the moment someone disputes them.
We built TowTracker first, because line service technicians needed every aircraft movement attributable — who moved what, when, and what condition it was in. Not for a dashboard. For the conversation that happens when something gets damaged and nobody agrees on the sequence of events.
RampRat came from watching crews hunt through binders and stale PDFs for a servicing spec they needed immediately. We put the library on the device, made it searchable by model, manufacturer and ICAO type code, and made it work with no signal at all. Ramp connectivity is unreliable by nature — hangars, aprons and remote stands are precisely where coverage fails.
We are a small team, deliberately. The people who design your software are the people who build it, and you can reach them. That is not a scaling strategy; it is the reason the work is good.

Four things you can hold us to.
Stated plainly enough that you could check whether we did them.
TowTracker is our product, in production, with our name on the support address. We carry the consequences of our own architecture decisions, which is a materially different incentive from shipping and moving on.
Interaction cost is the constraint that matters in field software. We prototype against the conditions the work actually happens in — cold hands, bright sun, no free hand, no patience.
Who did what, when, is designed into the data model rather than added before a compliance review. It is the difference between a record that settles a dispute and one that starts an argument.
Repositories, cloud accounts and deployment pipelines are yours from day one and stay yours. There is no layer of ours you have to keep paying for to keep your software running.
Work with a team that answers its own email.
Small enough that you talk to the people building your software. Established enough to have products running in production.
