What ASC Group does

ASC Group (legal entity ASC GP, INC.) is a privately held information technology company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Decatur, Georgia, that develops quality management and contract performance evaluation software for government contractors and federal agencies. Its product portfolio centers on two platforms: SeeSOR, a cloud-based quality management system with modules for QMS, EHS, CMMC, EM-385 compliance, and AI-powered analytics (delivered as SeeSOR QMS, EHS, CMMC, AI, LaunchPad, OptiTrack, PrimeForce, and an offline mobile inspection app); and TF!, an Excel/VBA-based contract acquisition and management solution with modules covering bid modeling, evaluation, decision support, analysis, and modification tracking. Technology differentiators include proprietary "True Importance Ranking" algorithms for inspection scheduling and bid evaluation, 500+ pre-built inspection templates for EM-385, and pre-mapped CMMC requirement frameworks.

The company monetizes through per-user subscriptions (e.g., $170 per user per month for the SeeSOR Launch Package with a 5-user minimum), enterprise custom pricing, and professional services for pre- and post-award contract support, with federal sales facilitated by GSA Schedule Contract GS-35F-0367X. Distribution relies on enterprise field sales, direct demo requests, consultation scheduling, a 60-day free trial, and content marketing via white papers and a blog; customer segments are vertically oriented, led by government contractors supporting USACE, DOD, and civilian agencies, federal construction contractors requiring EM-385-1-1 compliance, and government acquisition teams, with secondary segments in prime contractors and ISO-certified organizations. ASC reports deployments across 130+ government facilities and over 60 TF!-supported service contract acquisitions since 1992, alongside quantifiable outcomes of 30% average contract cost savings, 67% faster acquisition timelines, and a 5% protest rate versus an industry 50%.

Leadership consists of President & CEO Emmanuel Baisie (Ph.D., Industrial & Systems Engineering), co-owner and co-founder Dan Everest, and a small distributed team across Atlanta, Huntsville, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Ottawa, and Alexandria. The firm holds ISO 9001 alignment for its solutions and is registered as a Georgia corporation with no disclosed institutional funding or M&A activity, indicating an organic, founder-led operating model rather than a venture-backed growth profile.

Core offering

ASC Group develops and sells two proprietary software platforms — SeeSOR (a cloud-based quality management system for inspection scheduling, compliance tracking, ISO/CMMC/EM-385/EHS modules, and AI-powered analytics) and TF! (an Excel/VBA-based contract acquisition and modification platform using proprietary ranking algorithms) — alongside pre-award and post-award professional services for government contractors and federal agencies. Customers access the platforms via subscription (per-user tiers, enterprise pricing, or GSA Schedule) with a 60-day free trial, plus optional deployment on the customer's own server.
