Key Takeaways:

HangarStack is an online software application designed to reduce risk and cost for aviation facilities by providing a real-time, visual display of available and used hangar and ramp space.
The software allows users to virtually plan aircraft movements by "towing" accurately scaled models within simulated layouts, replacing error-prone manual methods and optimizing space utilization.
Key benefits include significantly increased hangar utilization and revenue (with some users reporting 30-40% improvement), enhanced safety by reducing "hangar rash" incidents, and support for strategic planning and hangar development.

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.
