From broker email to signed trip before lunch, and through the bad day after.
You're the sales desk, the scheduler and the flight follower, often all before 9 a.m. Direct2 drafts the quote from the email, checks it can fly, and turns every delay, swap or cancellation into one guided step.

Sound familiar?
Every trip gets typed three times, and the bad day undoes it.
Re-typing every RFQ
A broker emails a request. You copy the airports, dates and passengers into a calculator, then into a quote, then into the schedule.
Selling a trip that can't fly
The quote goes out, the client signs, and then you find the crew would bust duty or the tail has an open deferral. Now you're calling the client back.
Six systems per delay
A two-hour delay means updating the schedule, the crew, the FBO, the hotel, the client and the owner, one phone call at a time.
What you get
Sell only what can fly, and keep it flying when the plan breaks.
Three options, one link, signed and deposited
Send PC-12, King Air 350 and CJ3 side by side on one link. The client sees when it was viewed, e-signs the option they want and pays the deposit by card or ACH. The other options decline themselves, the deal is marked won, and one click turns it into a trip.
FET is already right. Federal excise tax is itemized per leg, with positioning charges billed to the customer in the taxable base.
Delay, swap or cancel in one guided step
Before you confirm, the system lists every effect: crew duty, the FRAT, W&B, services, price and the owner. Pick the fix, confirm once, and the client and owner are notified.
The release goes back to the DO. Any change after authorization sets the trip to re-authorization required, so nothing departs on yesterday's sign-off.

Flight following
Out, off, on and in times post from tracking as the aircraft moves, with an overdue alert if a leg goes quiet.
A day with Direct2
Quote by 9, ground stop by 10.
Trip 26-0418, from the dispatch desk.
See the Scheduling & Dispatch module07:40
A broker emails for four passengers, Centennial to Eagle, then on to Aspen. You forward it. A draft quote is waiting in about a minute, wholesale tier applied, FET broken out, feasibility yellow for density altitude at Aspen.
07:55
You add two more aircraft and send a three-option link. At 08:05 the quote shows viewed.
09:15
The broker e-signs the King Air option and pays a 50% deposit by card. One click turns the quote into a trip, and the crew gets a push notification.
Next morning
Ground stop at Eagle. You delay leg 1 by 1 h 20 m. The system shows the positioning leg home would put the SIC over 14:00 of duty, so you choose Delay + plan RON. The hotel is flagged for booking and the release goes back to the DO.
Across the three modules
Forward us a real RFQ.
Bring a broker email from last week. We'll turn it into a quote, a proposal and a trip, then break it with a ground stop, with a Part 135 specialist.
