The planning gap
Most AV racks get expensive before they get organized.
AVStacker gives teams a visual starting point so layout, budget, equipment choices, and service needs can be discussed before the build turns into a pile of boxes.
AV systems are confusing when every device has different rack, power, and I/O needs.
Equipment compatibility is hard to judge before everything is on site.
Pricing gets scattered across tabs, quotes, carts, and spreadsheets.
Racks become messy when layout decisions happen during installation.
Beginners often know the goal, but not where to start building a system.
