Onto Platform (Rental & Aviation Management System)

The client wanted one platform to rent many kinds of assets. Users must be able to book cars, equipment, and private jets. The client also wanted: a clear client dashboard, booking pages, payment request flows, profile management, and instant client notifications. The system must track aircraft maintenance, schedule services, and keep all records in one place. The client needed web and mobile apps, secure payments, and simple admin tools.

We delivered Onto — a cloud web and mobile platform for renting and managing assets. Users can search assets, book, pay, and see invoices. Owners and operators can manage bookings, run maintenance schedules for aircraft, and get instant alerts. The client dashboard shows bookings, payments, and notifications in one screen. The system reduced manual work and made booking and maintenance simple.

1. 01

   Define goals and users

   We met the client to list features: booking, maintenance, payments, dashboard, profile, notifications, and multi-asset support. We agreed on scope and timeline.

2. 02

   Detailed planning

   We made a clear plan for pages and API flows: home, bookings, client dashboard, payment requests, profile, and notifications. We planned how maintenance data and aircraft hours would be stored.

3. 03

   Design system architecture

   We designed a scalable cloud architecture. We designed web UI and mobile screens for simple booking flows and a compact client dashboard.

4. 04

   Build frontend and backend

   We built web pages for home, bookings, client dashboard, payment requests, profile, and notifications. We created REST APIs for booking, payments, and maintenance logs.

5. 05

   Integrate payments and notifications

   We added secure payment gateway and simple payment request flow. We added push and email notifications for booking status and maintenance reminders.

6. 06

   Add maintenance & scheduling

   We added a maintenance calendar for aircraft: schedule service, log hours, and store service history. We added rules to warn when maintenance is due.

7. 07

   Test and validate

   We tested booking flows, payment requests, dashboard data, profile edits, and notifications. We validated maintenance scheduling and reporting.

8. 08

   Launch and support

   We deployed the platform and provided support. We fixed issues and updated the platform after user feedback.

Client reached out after demo and discussion on platform needs (client provided requirements and mockups). We started as a pilot project and scaled to full platform.

A rental marketplace operator who wanted to manage many asset classes including aviation services. They handle bookings, payments and maintenance scheduling at scale.
