Answer Every Passenger.
Even At Dawn.
You are on a launch field at 5am, not by a phone. That booking goes elsewhere.
Catalyst answers for you around the clock. It texts every missed call back, qualifies the passenger, and books the flight while you stay on the launch field.
-
Missed Call Text-Back Turns "voicemail" into an active text conversation.
-
Automated Flight Booking Reads your calendar and books the slot without the back-and-forth.
-
Omni-Channel Inbox Google, Instagram, Facebook and SMS in one stream.
A Perfect Sunrise
Deserves Five Stars.
Passengers land speechless and post photos. Reviews are what sell the next seat. Catalyst watches your pipeline. The moment a flight is marked "Flown," we text that passenger a review link — before they are out the door.
-
Completion-Triggered Requests Auto-sends SMS & email the moment the flight is done.
-
Negative Feedback Gate Route unhappy passengers to a private form; send happy ones to Google.
-
Social Proof Widget Auto-publish your best new reviews to your site and Facebook.

The Whole Operation
In Your Pocket.
Running a balloon operation does not happen behind a desk. With the Catalyst App, your whole operation travels with you. Answer passengers, move flights, and get paid from anywhere.
Texts, email, FB Messenger and IG DMs in one feed. Never switch apps again.
Call passengers straight from the app. Every call is recorded and logged to the contact automatically.
Take Payment
When They Book.
Stop chasing invoices and waiting to get paid. With Catalyst Mobile, you carry a card terminal in your pocket. Raise invoices, text secure payment links, and watch revenue land in real time.
Generate a secure Stripe link and text it instantly. 85% of texted invoices are paid inside 30 minutes.
Create branded estimates and invoices on the fly. Convert an approved estimate to an invoice with one tap.
Ideal for memberships and repeat plans. Set up auto-debit in the app to lock in monthly recurring revenue.
Gross sales, net revenue and outstanding invoices in the palm of your hand.
Enquiry To Lift-Off.
One System.
Most hot air balloon rides buy a website from one company, a CRM from another, and leads from a third. It never talks to itself. Catalyst unifies the whole stack into one pipeline that feeds itself.
-
Instant Google & Instagram Capture
Enquiries from Google, Instagram and your website land in the CRM instantly. No copy-paste. No delay.
-
High-Performance Websites
Replace the generic template site with one built to turn visitors into booked flights.
-
Multi-Channel Nurture
The moment a passenger lands, the system follows up by SMS, email and voicemail drop until you get a reply.
One Screen. Every Flight.
Stop logging into six platforms to run one flight. Catalyst is the nervous system of the business, syncing passengers, calendars and payments into a single dashboard.
Instant Lead Sync
Never download a CSV again. Facebook and Google leads hit your CRM in < 1 second.
Conflict-Free Booking
We read your Google and Outlook calendars so you are never double-booked for a flight.
Status Triggers
Automatically move a passenger to "Weather Confirmed" the moment they confirm.
Find The Passengers
Still Waiting To Fly.
Your next flight is probably already in your database. Catalyst's radar scans your own database and your local area for the passengers most likely to book next.
-
Smart Geo-Targeting
Draw a circle around the area you actually serve. We surface the households that match your best passengers.
-
Instant Contact Lookup
Found a match? One click pulls their mobile and email so you can reach out directly.
-
Hyper-Local Dominance
Launch postcard and SMS campaigns to exactly the households that match your best passengers.
Every Flight.
Zero Chaos.
Stop rebooking weather cancellations by hand, one text at a time. Catalyst gives you a visual board for every flight in flight. Drag a card to the next stage and the system updates the passenger and your team automatically.
-
Drag-and-Drop Management
Move flights from "New Enquiry" to "Booked" to "Weather Confirmed" with a single click.
-
Automated Handoffs
Moving a card to "Weather Confirmed" auto-generates the checklist for your team and sends the passenger what they need to send back.
-
Client Status Portal
Kill the "any update?" calls. Passengers get a private link to track their flight 24/7.
"Your flight is confirmed for Saturday, 05:30 launch."
