When you pick inspection software, “similar capabilities” isn’t enough—how fast you innovate, the support you get, and how error-prone things like OCR are will have big downstream effects on cost, quality, and speed. While HighQA is a player in this space, here’s how GroundControl delivers more for your team.
Cloud vs On-Prem
HighQA is on-premises, which means you need to manage installation, server infrastructure, backups, IT staff, and every upgrade or patch. That tends to slow down innovation and burden your internal resources.
GroundControl is 100% cloud-based: zero setup on servers, instant access, and we push weekly updates so you gain features, enhancements, bug-fixes continuously.
Security First
GroundControl is ITAR registered. GroundControl is NIST SP 800-171 compliant. GroundControl is hosted in AWS GovCloud - all data remains in the US. GroundControl is undergoing FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency.
Good optical character recognition isn’t just about reading text—it’s about reading it correctly, especially when distinguishing things that look similar. HighQA often mixes up “1” vs “i”, “5” vs “s”, etc.
These errors can lead to misinterpretations, delays, rejections, or worse downstream quality issues. GroundControl has built its OCR + logic-layer to handle those tricky distinctions.
Our parsing accuracy is high, with logic to sanity-check what’s parsed against context to reduce those common misreads.
