Integrated Production Solutions

What Integrated Production Solutions does

Integrated Production Solutions (IPS), operating as Treve LLC, is a Franklin, Tennessee-based provider of audio, video, and lighting (AVL) production and integration services founded in 2016. The company operates two divisions: a Production division that delivers touring and live-event production for concerts, festivals, corporate events, and arena tours, and an Integration division that designs and installs permanent AVL systems for houses of worship, corporate spaces, cruise ships, theme parks, and entertainment venues. IPS's underlying technology centers on custom-engineered touring rigs, including proprietary Tyler cart systems, pre-hung and pre-cabled rigging on Tyler GT and Ladder Truss, and scalable AVL configurations that allow the same production design to flex from club venues to arenas. The company also operates BLKBX, a 75,000-square-foot tour rehearsal and production-storage facility in the Nashville area, and runs a direct-to-consumer used-equipment marketplace through direct.ips.live.

IPS makes money primarily through project-based professional services fees for touring production (equipment rental, crew, and technical support for named acts including Benson Boone, Dustin Lynch, Walker Hayes, Brett Young, Chris Tomlin, Lady A, Maverick City Music, and others) and through fixed-bid AVL integration projects (churches, corporate, cruise) supported by ongoing service contracts. Pricing is custom-quoted per project with no published tiers; integration contracts are multi-year. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by dedicated Production and Integration sales directors, event-driven demand generation through industry trade publications (PLSN, Live Design, Lighting & Sound America), case-study-driven content marketing, and a small used-equipment e-commerce channel. The company is privately held and founder-led, with Nicholas Brown as CEO, Nathan Sprayberry as CTO, and Bret McDonald as CFO, and has scaled to 11-50 employees while achieving 484% revenue growth over three years and earning 2024 Inc. 5000 recognition.
