Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
25 years
What is your primary product or service?
We manufacture digital message repeaters for use in retail, commercial, and industrial applications. Any time messages are to be repeated - in-store advertising, customer assistance call buttons, emergency evacuation, telephone message-on-hold, just-in-time manufacturing, and much more.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
This business was a spin-off of an engineering firm that created the first talking alarm system in the US. Digital voice was very new and exciting. Now it's everywhere, and we're still at the forefront of innovation.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We pride ourselves in being able to solve a variety of complex messaging issues, whether the customer is looking for prioritized messages, scheduled messages, or a combination of the two. Whenever customers want to control and communicate with their equipment over the internet, from a cell phone, or even over a two-way radio we provide a way to do whatever is appropriate for the specific application.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location and do not have any plans to expand. Fifteen years ago we made the decision to employ local businesses to assist with our design, assembly, and manufacturing.
What type of payments do you accept?
Visa, MasterCard, business check, COD
Which areas do you service?
Our customers are in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and numerous other countries.
