What Is FireFlight and
Who Is It For?

PCG's compliance and operations platform for environmental firms, industrial operators, and inspection businesses

Last updated: April 2026
FireFlight is PCG's proprietary compliance and operations platform, hosted and supported directly by PCG. It manages permit tracking, waste manifests, inspection schedules, incident logs, and regulatory deadlines for environmental firms, industrial operators, and inspection businesses. In 2026, FireFlight solves one specific problem: compliance software built for private-sector operations that have outgrown spreadsheets and cannot justify enterprise platform overhead.1

What FireFlight actually is

FireFlight is not a SaaS subscription downloaded from an app store. It is a configurable compliance and operations platform built on PCG's 31 years of compliance software development, hosted on PCG's own infrastructure, and configured to match the specific regulatory obligations your operation actually carries. The distinction matters because generic compliance apps give every customer the same modules, the same templates, and the same report formats. FireFlight starts with your permit structure, your regulatory agencies, and your reporting requirements, then builds the configuration around them.

The platform runs on C# .NET Core and Razor Pages. PCG built it, PCG hosts it, and PCG supports it directly. When something needs to change because a regulator updated their required format or your operation added a facility, you call PCG. Allison or her team answers. Most changes on PCG-built systems resolve within hours. That support model is not an add-on tier. It is how every FireFlight deployment works.

Every configuration includes role-based access controls, a complete audit trail with user-attributed modification history, automated alerts, and AI natural language reporting against your live data. Those are standard in every deployment, not optional upgrades billed separately.

FireFlight serves two distinct operational profiles. For environmental firms, industrial operators, and inspection businesses, it is a compliance and regulatory management platform. For manufacturing operations — built-to-order equipment shops, custom heavy equipment manufacturers, food and beverage processors, plastic injection molders, and metal fabrication operations — it is a full operations platform covering project work orders, MRP, job costing, inventory control, and asset lifecycle management. Both profiles run on the same platform, hosted and supported by PCG.

Who FireFlight is built for

FireFlight serves three types of private-sector operations. Each has a different compliance profile, a different buyer, and a different typical go-live timeline. All three share the same core problem.

Who They Are Their Problem What FireFlight Handles Typical Go-Live
Environmental consulting and remediation firms, 10 to 75 employees EPA deadlines, DEP inspections, waste manifests, and remediation milestones tracked in spreadsheets one person built Permit tracking, waste manifests, remediation documentation, regulatory deadline management, AI reporting 8 to 12 weeks
Industrial operators with EHS obligations, 50 to 500 employees Air permits, waste manifests, OSHA compliance, and incident logs across multiple sites. System breaks when EHS staff turns over. Multi-site air permit monitoring, waste manifest tracking, OSHA inspection schedules, incident reporting, regulatory deadline management 6 to 14 weeks depending on site count
Field inspection and certification firms, any size Paper forms, manual re-entry at the office, no audit trail, billing disconnected from field work Mobile field capture, regulatory checklist compliance, compliant report generation, chain-of-custody documentation, billing integration 4 to 8 weeks
Manufacturing operations with 51 to 500 employees: built-to-order equipment, custom heavy equipment, food and beverage processing, plastic injection molders, metal fabrication Complex project costing, materials procurement, inventory across locations, asset lifecycle management, and maintenance scheduling managed across spreadsheets and disconnected systems Project work orders, MRP, job costing, inventory control, asset management, preventive and corrective maintenance, time and expense tracking, invoicing 8 to 14 weeks depending on module count

What FireFlight includes

Each deployment is configured from the modules relevant to your operation. Compliance buyers use the first nine modules. Manufacturing buyers use the operations and ERP modules below. The free consultation confirms which combination fits your specific situation.

Module What It Tracks Built For
Air Permit Monitoring Permit limits, emissions readings, exceedance flags, and reporting deadlines by facility and emission point Environmental firms, industrial operators
Waste Manifest Tracking EPA waste manifests by generator, transporter, and disposal facility. Searchable by date, permit number, and waste type. Environmental firms, industrial operators

Preventive and Corrective Maintenance Schedules preventive maintenance by asset, tracks corrective work orders from failure to resolution, and maintains a full maintenance history per piece of equipment. Food and beverage processing, any operation with high-value production equipment
Time and Expense Tracking Labor hours, expense categories, and job assignments captured at the point of work. Feeds directly into job costing and invoicing without re-entry. Welding shops, built-to-order equipment manufacturers

The feature that changes how compliance officers work

In 2026, every compliance software vendor is talking about AI. Most are describing features that extract data into external AI tools, or AI that generates canned reports from preset templates. FireFlight's AI layer sits directly on top of your live database with no intermediary. The compliance officer types a question in natural language and receives an immediate answer drawn from the compliance records your team has been entering since the system went live.

Instead of requesting a report and waiting, the compliance officer types the question directly:

"Show me all open air permit violations by site sorted by deadline."
"Which waste manifests are missing a disposal facility signature?"
"What corrective actions are overdue across all facilities?"

Each query returns a real-time answer from your own live data. The AI does not generate or estimate. It queries what is actually in the system and presents it in readable form. If the record does not exist, the answer says so. No IT ticket. No canned report. No export to Excel to count rows by hand.

This is the feature that pays for itself in recovered staff hours before the first enforcement question arises. A compliance officer who can query their own program's status in natural language, across all sites, in real time, is a fundamentally different operational asset than one waiting for monthly reports to tell them what happened last month.

Is FireFlight the right fit for your operation?

FireFlight is built for a specific type of operation. The table below is a direct answer to the question most buyers ask before scheduling a consultation.

How deployment and support work

Every FireFlight configuration starts with a free consultation with Allison Woolbert directly. That call maps the specific modules your operation needs, the regulatory agencies you report to, and the data that needs to migrate from your current system. No commitment required. Scope is confirmed before configuration begins.

Most deployments go live in weeks, not months. Field inspection firms and small teams typically go live in 4 to 6 weeks. Multi-site industrial operations with complex permit structures run 10 to 14 weeks. PCG hosts the platform on infrastructure PCG controls. When something needs to change after go-live, you call PCG. Allison or her team answers. Most changes resolve within hours.

PCG has built and supported compliance software continuously since 1995. FireFlight is not a product sold and handed off. It is a platform PCG operates alongside the clients who run their compliance programs on it.

Frequently asked questions

FireFlight What exactly is FireFlight and how is it different from off-the-shelf compliance software?
+
FireFlight is PCG's proprietary compliance and operations platform, built on 31 years of compliance software development and hosted directly by PCG. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that give every customer the same modules and templates, FireFlight is configured around your specific permit structure, regulatory agencies, and reporting requirements. The result is a system that does what your operation actually needs rather than one your team works around.
FireFlight Is FireFlight a SaaS platform or custom software?
+
FireFlight sits between the two. It is a configurable platform built on PCG's proprietary codebase, hosted by PCG on PCG's own infrastructure. It is not a downloadable SaaS subscription, and it is not a from-scratch custom build for each client. PCG configures the platform to match your specific compliance obligations, deploys it on infrastructure PCG controls, and supports it with direct phone access to the team that built it.
FireFlight Who is FireFlight built for?
+
FireFlight serves three buyer types. Environmental consulting and remediation firms with 10 to 75 employees managing active permit portfolios. Industrial operators with 50 to 500 employees carrying EHS obligations across multiple sites. Field inspection and certification firms of any size that capture regulatory findings, generate compliant reports, and need a defensible audit trail. All three share the same core problem: compliance work that has outgrown spreadsheets but cannot justify enterprise platform overhead.
FireFlight How long does it take to get FireFlight configured and live?
+
Most FireFlight deployments go live in weeks, not months. Field inspection firms and small teams typically go live in 4 to 6 weeks. Environmental consulting firms and single-facility industrial operators run 6 to 10 weeks. Multi-site industrial operations with complex permit structures run 10 to 14 weeks. Every deployment starts with a free consultation with Allison Woolbert to confirm scope before configuration begins.
FireFlight What does PCG-hosted mean and why does it matter?
+
PCG-hosted means your compliance data runs on infrastructure PCG owns and operates, not on a shared SaaS server managed by a company you will never speak to. It means when something needs to change, you call PCG directly. It means your data does not live inside a platform that can change its pricing, deprecate features, or discontinue the product. PCG has hosted client systems continuously since 1995.
FireFlight How does the AI natural language reporting work in FireFlight?
+
The AI reporting layer sits directly on top of your live FireFlight database. You type a question in natural language and the system returns an answer drawn from your actual compliance records. Questions like "show me all open air permit violations by site sorted by deadline" return immediate results without a pre-built report or an IT request. The AI queries what is actually in your system. If the record does not exist, the answer says so.
FireFlight Can FireFlight be configured for a company operating across multiple states?
+
Yes. Multi-state operations are handled as separate facility configurations within the same platform. Each state's regulatory agencies, permit formats, waste codes, and reporting requirements are built into the configuration for facilities in that state. Your EHS team sees a consolidated view across all states. Individual facility managers see only their location and its specific regulatory obligations.
FireFlight What happens to our compliance data if we stop using FireFlight?
+
Your data is yours. PCG provides a full data export in standard formats before any contract ends. Compliance records, permit files, incident logs, waste manifest history, and generated reports are all delivered in formats your team can work with independently. PCG does not retain or restrict access to data generated on your behalf. That is in the service agreement, not in the fine print.
