XTEN-AV Highlights the Hidden Workflow Bottlenecks Slowing Down AV Design Teams
- May 14, 2026
Following design-focused conversations at the PSNI Global Alliance SuperSummit 2026, XTEN-AV says the next phase of AV design productivity depends on keeping drawings, BOMs, proposals, and project data connected.
Detroit, Michigan, USA — May 14, 2026 — XTEN-AV is highlighting a practical challenge facing AV design teams worldwide: design delays are often caused not by one individual task, but by disconnected workflows across drawings, BOMs, proposals, estimates, and project handoffs.
The perspective follows XTEN-AV’s recent participation at PSNI Global Alliance SuperSummit 2026, where AV professionals, designers, and technology leaders came together for design-focused discussions, collaboration, and industry exchange.
According to XTEN-AV, many AV teams still manage design workflows across fragmented tools and disconnected systems. Drawings may live in one platform, BOMs in spreadsheets, proposals in separate documents, project data across emails or shared drives, and approvals in yet another system. As projects change, these disconnected tools across drawings, BOMs, and proposals create avoidable rework, making AV workflow automation more important for modern integrators.
“AV design delays rarely come from one task alone. They usually come from the gaps between tools, when drawings, BOMs, proposals, and project information do not stay aligned,” said Sahil Dhingra, Co-founder & CEO, XTEN-AV.
“The future of AV design is not just about faster drafting; it is about creating a connected workflow from the first design decision to the final project handoff. ”
The issue is especially important for AV integrators managing complex or repeatable projects across enterprise, education, government, hospitality, and multi-site environments. As AV systems become more connected, standardized, and IT-driven, teams need better continuity between system design, documentation, estimation, proposal creation, and project execution.
XTEN-AV believes the next phase of AV design productivity will come from reducing workflow friction. That means helping AV professionals keep technical drawings, equipment lists, cost information, proposals, and project documentation connected as the project moves from concept to delivery.
“When the design changes, the BOM and proposal should not become separate manual update tasks,” Dhingra added. “AV teams need a shared source of truth so designers, estimators, sales teams, and project managers can move faster with more confidence.”
XTEN-AV supports this connected AV project workflow through its product suite, including X-DRAW for Audio visual (AV) design and documentation, x.doc for proposals and sign-offs, X-PRO extends the workflow into AV project management software for project tracking and reporting, and XAVIA supports AI-powered AV workflow automation across design, documentation, and project reporting/tracking.
The company’s broader message for AV system integrator is simple:
Design it. Deliver it. Service it. All inside XTEN-AV.
As AV system integration firms continue to standardize workflows and reduce manual rework, XTEN-AV believes connected design-to-proposal workflows will become a key productivity advantage for modern AV teams.
