Aria AV had built 15 years of event technology expertise, a national warehouse network, and partnerships with Lenovo, Intel, and Aluvision. The digital experience hadn't kept pace. Customers landing on the site event planners, trade show producers, corporate AV buyers faced a generic product grid with no sense of how the inventory fit their specific event type, scale, or deadline.

The real complexity was in the rental model itself. Every product had duration-based pricing, date availability logic, and delivery parameters. Standard Shopify product pages weren't built for this. The build needed custom booking architecture that felt effortless to the buyer while handling meaningful operational complexity underneath.
