Zeevo Group LLC, an operations, finance, and information technology consulting services firm, has announced the successful deployment of Fly Forward, the aviation industry’s newest lease and asset management solution, for its launch customer, Florida-based Aviator Capital Management, LLC. The announcement was made at the ISTAT EMEA 2025 conference in Prague.
Aviator Capital Management, which invests in used commercial aircraft and engines under operating leases to airlines and operators in both developed and emerging markets, selected the software to streamline its operations, automate compliance, and gain comprehensive fleet insights. Michael Reiter, Executive Vice President at Aviator, stated, “At Aviator, we value innovation and are big proponents of enhancing internal capabilities as the key differentiator and contributor to our competitive edge. Fly Forward provides us with all the tools we need to scale effectively and thrive in a dynamic market.”Developed by Lease Logic, Inc. and distributed by Zeevo Group, Fly Forward aims to address the evolving needs of aircraft lessors. John McCartney, Zeevo Group Chief Technology Officer, whose background in delivering custom-built systems for aircraft lessors informed the development, commented, “With increasingly complex leasing structures and intensifying competition, aircraft lessors need modern, scalable software that facilitates real-time insights, seamless collaboration, and process automation.”The solution offers capabilities designed to scale with aircraft lessors’ portfolios. For marketing teams, it provides instant visibility into leased, selling, and expiring assets, benchmarks pricing and deal velocity with real-time analytics, and helps deliver branded insights for negotiation.
Contracts teams benefit from centralized access to lease clauses, documents, and triggers, automated alerts for expiries, milestones, and compliance thresholds, and one-click reporting that synchronizes legal, marketing, technical, and finance teams.
Technical teams gain end-to-end fleet intelligence through real-time monitoring of aircraft, engines, and shop events. A built-in technical projects module helps keep redeliveries on track and within budget, and it provides real-time maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) exposure without the need for spreadsheets.
For accounting and finance teams, Fly Forward ensures audit readiness and cash confidence with automated invoicing, reserve tracking, and collections per asset and customer. It integrates with banking systems for instant cash visibility and offers powerful financial reporting for boards, auditors, or potential buyers.
Furthermore, the platform enables FP&A and technical teams to predict future moves by running scenarios to model future cash flows, maintenance events, and remarketing exposure, allowing for end-of-lease strategy planning years in advance.
Joey Johnsen, Zeevo Group Chief Executive Officer, added, “From deal origination to lease management, fleet maintenance and tracking, rent administration, forecasting, and reporting, Fly Forward brings it all together – fitting seamlessly into your platform’s operations and putting at your team’s disposal Zeevo professionals’ expertise and decades of experience at top aircraft leasing companies.”The Aviator and Zeevo teams collaborated on the adoption and deployment of this tool, designed to unify and streamline Aviator’s core business processes into a single solution. This implementation at Aviator is intended to lay the groundwork for Fly Forward’s broader industry adoption, demonstrating its value in transforming lease and asset management.
