Deemed an essential ­business during the COVID-19 pandemic, Warwick-based office technology solutions and managed services provider Automated Business Solutions Inc. “assisted many clients with work-from-home setups,” said President Michael Ardry. “Companies with virtual or hybrid work required our IT [information technology] services, printers and copiers. That sustained us through the early pandemic months.”

Today, Ardry said, “Our largest challenge is supply chain delays in chips and sensors needed for our equipment, so we’re staying ahead of the curve by placing larger orders and putting extra inventory in storage.”

Ardry said the company’s $16.2 million revenue in 2020 represents a 23% increase compared with revenue in 2018. That growth, he says, is largely based on the 2020 acquisition of Expert Laser Services in Southbridge, Mass.

Revenues are also trending upward due to the company’s “phenomenal sales and service team,” Ardry said. “Our … customer service and attention to detail can’t be beat.”

Automated Business Solutions has seven locations, but future expansion plans are under consideration.
