HiveHub built a valuation platform for an aviation brokerage that reduced aircraft pricing from 4-6 hours to under 5 minutes per valuation.
Client: Aviation Brokerage (Built as internal deal infrastructure. Client-specific details withheld due to NDA). Timeline: 3-5 months Goal: Replace manual valuation bottlenecks with software The Situation Aircraft valuations were being done entirely by hand. Each valuation required four to six hours of analyst time. Every single valuation involved: Pulling data from multiple sources (JetNet, Aircraft Post, Bluebook, VREF) Running calculations manually Applying adjustments based on condition, equipment, and market factors Formatting everything into a client-ready report The process worked, but it didn't scale. Each valuation consumed half a workday. Consistency varied between analysts. Logic couldn't be reused across aircraft types. And repetitive steps were being redone from scratch every time. They needed a system that could standardize the workflow without removing analyst judgment, integrate multiple data sources cleanly, apply valuation logic modularly, and produce professional outputs without custom work for every valuation. What We Built We built an MVP platform that handles the full valuation workflow from data input to final output. The platform included: A data ingestion system accepting uploads from multiple aircraft data sources Modular valuation logic that can be customized per aircraft model An AI assistance layer to support analysts and explain valuation decisions The system was
