One aircraft. Five owners. Zero arguments.
Your syndicate runs on a WhatsApp group and goodwill. Both run out. Volanti Lite is a shared live calendar and an honest set of accounts for a group of friends who own an aeroplane together.
"Is anyone flying her Saturday?"
Somebody always is. You find out in the car park. Then someone forgets to write a flight in the book, the fuel receipts pile up, and the member who does the accounts quietly starts to resent everyone. A syndicate does not need business software. It needs one calendar and one set of numbers everyone trusts.
Everyone sees the same diary. Always.
Book the aircraft from your phone in bed on Friday night. The others see it instantly. If the slot is taken, Volanti will not let you take it twice: conflicts are blocked before they happen, not argued about afterwards.
- One live calendar for the aircraft, shared by every member
- Double bookings blocked at the point of booking
- Bookings subscribe into Google, Apple and Outlook via iCal feeds
- Confirmations, reminders and cancellation notices by email, automatically
Nobody has to be the treasurer.
Every flight gets logged and priced at your syndicate's rates the moment it is completed. Each member sees their own charges and running balance, and a statement lands every month with a PDF attached. Who flew what is a fact, not a memory.
- Every flight logged and priced automatically on completion
- Per-member charges and balances, visible to that member any time
- Monthly statements generated automatically, with PDF download
- A full audit trail of who changed what, for the AGM sceptic
Small group. Grown-up guardrails.
Lite is deliberately simple, but it is built on the same engine as the rest of Volanti.
House rules, enforced.
Booking restrictions can check licences, ratings and medicals before a booking goes in, even in a group of five.
Group agreements, signed.
Put your operating agreement in Volanti and every member signs it electronically. New joiner? They sign before they book.
Reminders that arrive.
Booking reminders go out before the flight. Nobody drives to the airfield to find the hangar already empty.
Syndicate turning into a club?
When you take on a second aircraft, a waiting list of would-be members or the odd bit of instruction, Scheduling Core picks up exactly where Lite stops. Same data, same logins, more machine.
Put the whiteboard in the skip.
Volanti Lite from £19 a month. Set up in an afternoon, and your syndicate never argues about Saturday again.
