Key Takeaways:

HangarStack is an online software solution that virtualizes aircraft hangar and ramp management, replacing antiquated manual methods to reduce risk and cost associated with aircraft movement and stacking.
The application provides a real-time, visual simulation platform where users can accurately plan aircraft placements and movements, leveraging a database of aircraft dimensions to optimize space utilization.
Key benefits include significantly improved safety by reducing human error and "hangar rash" incidents, increased hangar utilization leading to higher revenue (up to 30-40% reported gains), and support for strategic planning of hangar development and pricing.

Like many industry-changing products, HangarStack was created when a team of professionals identified a problem and solved it. The problem in focus was how to reduce risk and cost while moving and stacking aircraft on ramps and hangars.

The solution arrived four years ago when the company’s co-founders, Mike Partin and Steve McNeilly, developed a purpose-built online software application that provides visual display of available and used hangar space.
