Why Atlanta companies hire us

A senior team that builds it and stays to run it

We’re headquartered in Atlanta, with more than 30 senior, full-time people across the US. Here’s what that means for your product.

  • People

    The team you meet does the work

    Everyone on your product is a senior, full-time Black Airplane employee in the United States. The work never moves to subcontractors or an offshore team after kickoff.

  • In person

    Close enough to meet in person

    We meet Atlanta clients in person, and we fly to meet clients elsewhere when a project calls for it. Between meetings, you work with your team on weekly calls and in shared channels.

  • Ownership

    You own all of it

    Your company owns the source code, the cloud accounts, and the infrastructure outright. Nothing depends on us continuing the engagement.

  • After launch

    We keep making it better

    After launch, our product team keeps working with you to find where the product can add the most value next, then builds it. A monthly engagement sets the pace.

In their words

From the Atlanta companies we build for

“The team really acts as an extension of our team, enthusiastically and consistently performing above and beyond at every level.”

David WilliamsSr. Principal, Chick-fil-A

“They quickly learned the business and requirements, and delivered above and beyond what we were hoping for.”

Maria CurtisGlobal Talent & Development, Coca-Cola

What we build

Software for the work your business runs on

Most of what we build is a product with several parts: a web app, a phone app, the admin tools, and the systems behind them. One team builds all of it.

  • Web platforms

    Web applications

    Customer portals, marketplaces, and the internal tools a business runs on, with the admin and integrations behind them.

  • Mobile

    iPhone, iPad, and Android apps

    Apps in Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, or React Native, chosen for the product, including apps that work with scanners and payment terminals.

  • AI

    AI features in production

    AI built into the software your people already use, held to the same standard as the rest of the product.

  • Design

    Product design

    Working software in front of your users early, designed and built by one senior product team.

  • Modernization

    Application modernization

    Replace a system the business already depends on without stopping the business that runs on it.

  • Teams

    Embedded engineering teams

    Senior engineers who join your team and report to your people, from one or two engineers to ten or more.

How it works

From a first call to a product people use

Every engagement starts with a conversation, and most reach a fixed fee before any building begins.

  1. Talk with the people who would build it

    Tell us what needs to change and who it affects. You talk with senior members of the team that would do the work.

  2. Scope it, usually at no cost

    For most projects, scoping costs you nothing. It takes about two days for a smaller project or one to two weeks for a larger one, and ends in a fixed fee and a timeline.

  3. Build in working software

    We put working software in front of your users early and shape the product inside it. You see it come together on weekly calls and in shared channels.

  4. Launch, then keep it moving

    After launch, a monthly engagement sized to the product’s pace keeps it improving. You own the code and the accounts the whole way through.
