AVIA

What AVIA does

AVIA (legally Audio Video Intelligence Agency, Inc.) is a private custom systems integration firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Coconut Creek, Florida, with an additional Fort Lauderdale office. The company designs, installs, and supports integrated technology systems for luxury residential properties, superyachts, and hospitality environments. Its service offering spans entertainment systems (home theaters, multi-room audio/video), networking (satellite, cellular, terrestrial, and public Wi-Fi with failover routing and bandwidth management), energy management, automated shading, custom LED and color-changing lighting, and Solar PV with thermal-reuse solutions. AVIA does not develop a proprietary software stack; instead it integrates third-party control and AV ecosystems (Crestron, Crestron Home, Lutron, Sonos, Kaleidescape, Marantz, Sonance, Autonomic, Starlink Maritime, and others) into unified control platforms tailored to each project.

The firm operates with a global field service model, traveling on-site to client locations across the U.S., Caribbean, LATAM, and Europe. Revenue is generated through professional services billed on a time-and-material basis plus equipment sales (hardware pass-through with margin on integrated components). All projects require a written proposal signed by the vessel or property owner, with a 50% deposit before equipment ordering and 50% before release; jobs exceeding 16 hours are invoiced in phases. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition is consultative direct field sales targeting high-net-worth residential owners, yacht captains/owners, and hospitality operators, supported by a content blog, comprehensive website, and organic social presence on Facebook and Twitter.

Leadership includes COO Eric Roy, who has led AV/IT/automation projects across estates, superyachts, hospitality, and institutional spaces for over two decades, and blog contributor Michael Phillips. AVIA is independently owned with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, awards, or public revenue figures. Headcount is 1-10 employees, and the company has been operating continuously for 27 years.
