It’s a piece of cake to operate compared to other DZ software we have used, and the live manifest program is priceless, enabling me to check out my DZ operations while I’m on the road.

We are very happy at having made the move to Ground Control & now have a fully functioning effective integrated booking, manifest & accounting system.

We tried several manifest programs before deciding on Ground Control. It combines ease of use with a high level of customization; it's astounding and the personal level of support you receive is unmatched.

  • Once your system is set up you have access using your email address and a password which we email to you.
  • You can create accounts for your staff so that they can administer the system, and create accounts for fun jumpers or let them make their own.
  • To take bookings through your website there's just one line of code that you or your webmaster need to insert into your website.

What does it cost?

  • Using Ground Control is free of charge! Email support is provided and we can arrange DZ visits.
  • To take payment for online bookings we have two preferred credit/debit card providers - integration with our preferred providers is also free and you can set this up at any time. Click here to find out more.
  • If you want to use your own card provider (e.g Worldpay, Authorize.net, PayPal etc) we can provide a quote based on a rough estimate of how many Tandem/AFF jumps you will do per year.
  • We also provide web design services at a reduced cost for Ground Control users. Our DZs can get free web hosting and email setup too!
