Introduction
AI-Powered Pilot Matching Platform
Seattle Software Developers partnered with CrewMe to architect and build the first AI-driven aviation Pilot discovery engine — a real-time, intelligent staffing platform designed to replace outdated job-board models with instant, predictive Pilot matching.
CrewMe transforms aviation crew staffing by leveraging artificial intelligence, predictive availability modeling, geospatial intelligence, and logistics optimization to deliver ranked, hire-ready Pilot shortlists within seconds. The platform integrates mobile, web, AI engines, AWS cloud infrastructure, and real-time global mapping to create a next-generation aviation workforce marketplace.

The Challenges
Creating a Discovery Engine
Replacing the traditional aviation job board model with a real-time AI discovery engine capable of matching pilots instantly based on qualification, proximity, and readiness.
Predictive Availability
Designing a predictive availability system that understands where pilots will be — not just where they are today.
Real-Time Intelligence
Building logistics intelligence to calculate travel feasibility, routing options, and arrival timing within seconds.
Global Map Interface
Delivering a live global map interface capable of displaying availability, future arrivals, and demand signals in real time.
Adhering to Regulations and Security
Maintaining secure identity verification, document validation, and role-based access within a highly regulated aviation environment.
Identified Obstacles
Complex duty/rest compliance modeling across time zones.
Real-time push notifications and instant response capture.
Secure pilot identity verification and document storage.
Balancing AI automation with human decision-making workflows.
Designing a scalable AWS infrastructure for global usage.
Our Solutions
AI Matching Engine
Built a ranking algorithm (“Proximity Rank”) that evaluates aircraft type ratings, required hours, reliability history, verified documents, geographic proximity, and predictive availability to generate instant shortlists.
Instant Pilot Mode
One-tap operator experience that triggers real-time AI scans, targeted pilot notifications, and live response tracking for immediate staffing needs.
Predictive Availability Engine
Enabled pilots to broadcast future availability (landing-based, region-based, time-based), allowing the AI to forecast staffing coverage.
Operator AI Assistant
Developed a natural-language query engine that parses aircraft type, time windows, location, qualifications, and availability to eliminate job-post friction.
Smart Pilot Routing & Feasibility Engine
Integrated AI-driven travel modeling including drive times, commercial routing, cost comparisons, and feasibility probability scoring.
AI Trip Completion Forecasting
Modeled duty limits, time zones, rest periods, and multi-leg requirements to determine whether a single pilot can complete a mission or if additional crew is required.
Global Map Interface
Delivered a live situational-awareness UI displaying available pilots, predictive arrivals, urgent demand markers, and heatmaps.
Secure AWS Infrastructure
Architected scalable cloud systems using API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB/RDS, S3, Cognito authentication, Firebase/AWS SNS notifications, and encrypted document storage.
Admin Portal & Verification Pipeline
Built a comprehensive verification workflow for type ratings, medical certificates, recurrent training documentation, and identity validation with role-based access controls.
Our Results
CrewMe successfully launched as an AI-powered aviation staffing platform that eliminates manual job postings and replaces them with real-time, predictive pilot discovery.
Operators can now locate qualified, verified, and available pilots within seconds — dramatically reducing staffing delays and improving operational efficiency.
The platform demonstrates SSD’s expertise in AI platform development, aviation technology, real-time geospatial systems, predictive logistics modeling, AWS cloud architecture, and secure identity-based marketplaces.
