What Coltrane does

Coltrane Systems is a design-build electrical and technology systems integrator founded in 2013 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with additional regional offices in Kansas City and Philadelphia. The company combines four core service lines into a single unified delivery model: Audio Visual systems integration, Electrical contracting, Security systems integration, and Structured Cabling, supplemented by Arc Flash Studies and Power Systems Analysis. Its underlying technology stack spans video walls, unified communications, digital signage, sound masking, access control, video surveillance, fire alarm, mass notification, nurse call, cellular DAS, and fiber optic splicing, supported by a Building Information Modeling and LEED-certified installation capability.

The company operates an in-house CS Lab that functions as an innovation, testing, and prefabriction facility, enabling rack building, asset tagging, programming, and customer environment simulation before field deployment. Coltrane is an IBEW signatory contractor and holds Secret Clearance, enabling direct work on federal and military installations without escorts. Its go-to-market is a direct enterprise field sales motion staffed by Account Executives and Sales Engineers who provide consultative system designs, supported by regional offices and service and maintenance contracts that generate recurring revenue alongside project-based delivery.

Coltrane serves eight vertical segments: Enterprise, Industrial, Government/Military, Healthcare, Higher Education, Hospitality/Casino, Utility, and Data Center. Named customers include Amazon, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Reserve, the General Services Administration, the United States Air Force, the Department of Veterans Affairs, World Wide Technology, Airgas, Beyond Meat, Mercy Hospital Springfield, the University of Missouri, Top Flite Financial, Melton Machine, and the Malone Building.
