Run a drone operators association of UAV service firms from one place: member companies, UIN and trade papers, annual fees, receipts, regulatory circulars and chapter attendance — not flight logs or mission planning. Flight tools stay in your UAV stack; Associan keeps the operators’ chapter organised.

Operators are in the field. The association still tracks renewals in a shared drive of outdated PDFs.
One body mixes use cases. Fees and papers differ. Survey, agri and cinema work need different categories on the same roll.
UPI arrives from pilots’ phones. Matching the company takes hours. Pilots pay from personal UPI after a sortie; spelling rarely matches the company.
When a tender asks for association proof, last year’s scan is missing. UIN copies live in email threads that nobody can search under deadline.
A DGCA-related circular is forwarded until half the members still have the old version. Regulatory PDFs fork into three versions in three inboxes.
Attendance is a sheet while crews are still flying. Weather windows do not wait for a general body meeting.
A member needs a partner and has to ask three office bearers. District cover is arranged by calling whoever flew there last month.
Chapter membership for UAV firms; flight logs and airspace tools stay outside.
A firm applies with company name, GST, city and use-case category from the field office, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
The documents your committee asks for stay with the firm, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
Business categories keep survey, agri and cinema operators distinct, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
Members pay online. Cash at the desk is recorded against the same member, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
Post a regulatory or meeting note once. Members read it in the app, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
Members search other drone firms by city and category, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
After a survey day the firm pays association dues from ops; receipt PDF is ready for tender files.
An agri UAV company joins with use-case tags so survey and cinema operators stay distinct.
When a regulatory note changes, the chapter posts the new version once; tender packs quote the board, not a stale email. Chapter meet: pass scans, unpaid filtered, regulatory circular on the board as the only version. When a regulatory note changes, the chapter posts the new version once; tender packs quote the board, not a stale email.
Dues post to the company.
Directory by city and use case.
One board.
Fees and certificates sit against the firm, not a pilot’s phone.
The same simple flow for every drone operator, set up for your association in about a day.
Post it in your group or on your letterhead. Each drone operator fills the form on their phone.
Firm details, GST and the documents your committee needs are uploaded with the application.
The committee approves and the fee is paid online, or recorded if paid by cash or cheque.
Membership number, PDF receipt, certificate and QR member pass are issued automatically.
AICR moved operator joining, fee collection, certificates and chapter-meet check-in onto one white-label app with its own name, logo and CIN on every PDF. Applications, document checks and payments that used to live in WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets now sit in one place the committee can see.
