Columbus State Aviation School

At Columbus State's aviation program, instructors knew their students were losing valuable time to outdated systems. Binders were overflowing, shared logins made it impossible to track individual progress, and spreadsheets created more confusion than clarity. Instead of focusing on wrench-time, instructors were buried in administrative tasks just to keep compliance records up to date.
When we spoke with program leaders, one theme stood out: they needed a better way to manage students without sacrificing teaching time. Each student deserved a secure workspace, and instructors needed full visibility into progress. The system also had to mirror real-world shop practices so graduates would be job-ready on day one.
That's where TBX made the difference. With a school license, Columbus State gave every student their own login and access to shop-level tools like AD Compliance, work orders, logbooks, and quotes. Instructors gained a single dashboard to assign tasks, monitor progress, and leave feedback. Instead of juggling binders and spreadsheets, the program finally had a streamlined system that mirrored industry workflows.

The impact was immediate. Students gained confidence by working with the same type of tools trusted in 50+ countries, while instructors reclaimed hours each week once lost to paperwork. The classroom started to feel less like school and more like a professional shop-preparing students with both the knowledge and the hands-on workflows they need for real careers.
