Velocity, A Managed Services Company

What Velocity, A Managed Services Company does

Velocity, A Managed Services Company (legally Velocity, A Managed Solutions Company, Inc., incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Holland/Toledo, Ohio) is a single-source managed services provider for multi-location enterprises, concentrated in retail, hospitality, and entertainment/cinema, with secondary exposure to healthcare, senior living, government, and education. Founded in 2005 by Greg Kiley as a local and long-distance phone reseller, the company evolved into a full managed technology provider, rebranding in 2020. It consolidates voice, data, managed Wi-Fi, network connectivity, security, digital signage, and telecom expense management for customers operating across many physical sites, supported by 21 redundant fiber data centers, a CLEC license in all 50 states, 450+ carrier agreements, and a network of 5,500+ certified field technicians.

The product portfolio is delivered through proprietary technology including the VBAND router, V-CLOUD SD-WAN (supporting fiber, T1, broadband, 4G/LTE, and wireless point-to-point), the V-SELECT client portal (with a HITRUST-certified health portal variant), the SIPBand VoIP platform, POTS IN A BOX (including a DataRemote 5G POTS replacement), and the cloud-based Global Expense Management (GEM) platform built on Microsoft Power BI with RPA/AI for telecom expense management. The company also operates Velocity Media, a digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising business spanning 50,000+ venues delivering 720M+ monthly impressions, assembled largely through acquisitions of EYE Corp Media, Impax Media, and CTI/Vision Media digital signage assets, and a media-sales partnership with Loop Media. Reported operating scale includes 42,000+ network connections and 3M+ managed devices.

Velocity monetizes through recurring managed services subscriptions (voice/data/network and GEM SaaS), project-based and break/fix field services, DOOH media sales (programmatic and direct advertising plus hardware/installation), and equipment/hardware provisioning including reselling Starlink. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed, customized by location count and service scope. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (offices in Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, and regional locations) with an indirect channel-partner program and event-driven demand generation at trade shows such as CinemaCon and HITEC. The company is privately held and founder-controlled, with no disclosed external funding rounds.

Broad incumbents

• Verizon Business: Verizon Business provides managed network, SD-WAN, UCaaS/CCaaS, and POTS replacement solutions for multi-site enterprises nationwide.

Emerging players
