How AVI Systems Scaled with Q360
At InfoComm 2024, Chris Mounts, CFO of AVI Systems, sat down to reflect on the company’s remarkable journey since implementing Q360 nearly a decade ago. What started as a 17-branch operation has expanded to 35 locations across North America, with revenue growing from $160 million to $450 million and headcount more than doubling to over 1,100 employees.
Chris attributes a significant part of that growth to the operational foundation Q360 provides. As someone with experience in billion-dollar, publicly traded companies using top-tier ERP platforms, he emphasized that Q360 has matched — and in many ways exceeded — those systems, particularly in automation and reporting flexibility. The ability to automatically generate detailed WIP reports and customize them for different stakeholders has been critical for managing complex operations at scale.
He also pointed to quoting automation as a major driver of both top-line and bottom-line improvements. By streamlining the quoting process and ensuring that additional services are consistently included, AVI has turned previously breakeven service lines into high-margin revenue streams — some now contributing up to 20% of overall profitability.
For AVI, Q360 has become more than just software — it’s a strategic partner in driving scalable, sustainable growth.
