# QuoteAV

> QuoteAV is lightweight AV quoting software for integrators and rental/event companies.

QuoteAV helps AV professionals create structured quotes, generate professional proposals, and track margins — without enterprise complexity or pricing.

## What It Does

QuoteAV is a web-based quoting platform purpose-built for the audio visual industry. It replaces spreadsheets and bloated enterprise tools with a focused workflow: build quotes organized by room, system, or equipment package — the way AV projects actually work, whether that's a permanent installation or a one-night event.

## Key Features

- Build structured quotes by room, system, or equipment package
- Generate client-ready PDF proposals, work orders, and pull sheets
- Track cost, sell price, and margin on every line item
- Search an AV equipment catalog with 7,000+ products from 50+ major manufacturers
- Manage clients and projects in one place
- Free tier available — no credit card required

## Pricing

- Free tier: 10 active quotes, 50 products, 10 clients, professional proposals with no watermarks
- Premium ($29/month): unlimited quotes, products, and clients, company logo on proposals and invoices

## Who It's For

- Small to mid-sized AV companies (2–50 employees)
- AV integrators doing residential and commercial installations
- Rental and event companies running equipment rentals and live events
- Companies that do both integration and rental/event work
- AV sales/design leads and hands-on owners who manage quotes themselves
- Teams looking for a simple, affordable alternative to enterprise AV software

## Pricing Philosophy

QuoteAV owns the structure (product names, models, categories, specs). The user owns the money (cost, sell price, margins). There are no fixed supplier price lists — users set and adjust their own numbers per job, client, or line item.
