Our Story
The SierraTrax story began in 2017 when a group led by aviation entrepreneur, Jason Talley, purchased a maintenance tracking platform called SierraCom. Founded in 1998, it had the basic system features similar to its competitors, however Jason and the group knew that the technology, sophistication, and features they themselves needed were still missing in the market. As they encountered countless fellow operators who were also frustrated with their outdated, hard to navigate, and outrageously expensive maintenance tracking service, it became clear the industry needed a little disruption.
With the sale of SierraCom and new investment, the rebranding to SierraTrax came with a resounding objective: deliver a simple, intuitive, and affordable maintenance tracking solution, developed with the end user in mind. After five years of rapid growth to become one of the top solutions in the aviation maintenance tracking marketplace, and joining the Jet Support Services, Inc.(JSSI) family in 2021, the SierraTrax commitment to technology
advancement and exceeding customer expectations is absolutely unwavering.
As we continue to develop and deploy new technology, provide new and insightful ways to analyze our customer operations, and further expand the SierraTrax capabilities with the exciting launch of our nationwide scanning network and Digital Aircraft Records service, we are steadfast in our goal to become the premier digital intelligence solution in the industry for owner-pilots and Part 91 operators.
