Introduction – AI-Powered AV BOM Management Software Reshaping the Industry

The AV industry has reached a tipping point. As projects become more complex, deadlines tighter, and expectations higher, the demand for speed, consistency, and automation is stronger than ever. Gone are the days when integrators and consultants could afford to spend weeks crafting drawings, building BOMs, formatting proposals, and tracking project tasks manually.

Enter XAVIA — the revolutionary AI-powered AV BOM management software developed by XTEN-AV. But XAVIA is more than just a BOM tool. It’s a full-suite AI assistant built to automate every step of your AV workflow — from initial schematic to final proposal — with unmatched speed, intelligence, and precision.

In this blog, we explore how XAVIA is transforming the way AV professionals work by automating designs, documentation, bill of materials, proposals, and even project management — all from a single voice or chat prompt. We’ll also highlight its deep integration with AV system integration software, making it the most comprehensive automation tool in the market.

The Traditional AV Workflow: Pain Points That Slow You Down

Before we dive into the solution, let’s look at what AV professionals struggle with daily:

1. Manual Schematic Creation

Requires CAD skills, is time-intensive, and error-prone.

2. BOM Management in Spreadsheets

Inconsistent formats, outdated pricing, and high error potential.

3. Proposal Formatting Challenges

Non-standardized, time-consuming, and disconnected from BOM/design.

4. Fragmented Project Management

Multiple tools and platforms result in siloed communication and delays.

5. Lack of Real-Time Collaboration

AV teams across design, sales, and engineering don’t always stay aligned.
