The Problem

Your Depot Runs on Tribal Knowledge & Spreadsheets

Every depot manager we talk to deals with the same six problems. PCBSpot solves all of them.

Knowledge Walks Out the Door

When a senior technician retires, 20 years of institutional knowledge vanishes overnight. PCBSpot captures every diagnostic decision into an AI that any tech can query.

Spreadsheet Chaos

Excel files, paper logs, homegrown Access databases that nobody trusts. PCBSpot replaces all of it with one searchable, AI-powered system.

Invisible Failure Patterns

The same boards keep failing for the same reasons, but nobody connects the dots across hundreds of repairs. AI pattern detection surfaces trends automatically.

Turnaround Time Pressure

Defense programs have readiness requirements. Downtime on a weapons system costs millions per day. PCBSpot cuts diagnosis time by helping techs find answers faster.

Cost Overruns with No Root Cause

Leadership asks why repair costs keep climbing, nobody has granular answers. PCBSpot tracks cost per board, per failure mode, per technician.

AI Tools Are Off-Limits

You want AI, but every vendor requires cloud access. Your ISSM kills it. PCBSpot runs 100% on-premise with locally-hosted open-source LLMs. Your data never leaves.
