Advanced Business Solutions

What Advanced Business Solutions does

Advanced Business Solutions (ABS) is a privately held, family-owned managed services provider founded in 2004 and headquartered in St. Augustine, Florida. The company sells, leases, and services office imaging and IT equipment for Florida small and mid-sized businesses, operating three locations (St. Augustine, Lake Mary/Orlando, Daytona Beach) and serving customers across Florida, the Southeast, and nationally through its relationship with the 1-800 Office Solutions network. Named customers are limited to regional sports partnerships (Daytona Tortugas, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp); the bulk of the customer base is described as 300+ to 500+ cumulative SMB and mid-market accounts.

The company's product portfolio combines hardware (multifunction copiers, printers, and large-format equipment from authorized dealer relationships with Xerox, HP, Lexmark, Epson, KIP, and Lenovo) with two layered managed-services lines: Managed Print Services (fleet monitoring, automated supply replenishment, cost analytics, secure printing) and Managed IT Services (24/7 monitoring, network security via WatchGuard and Barracuda, cloud migration and management, backup and disaster recovery, and VoIP via Crexendo/Zultys). The underlying technology architecture is essentially an integration of third-party platforms — there are no proprietary AI models, SDKs, or APIs; remote monitoring and support are delivered through a Barracuda RMM tool.

The business model blends subscription recurring revenue (copier/printer leases of 24-60 months at $65-$900 per month plus managed IT monthly contracts), hardware sales, and professional repair/maintenance services. GTM is sales-led and consultative, targeting Florida SMBs and mid-market enterprises via a direct field sales team, an inside sales line, a self-serve online quote engine at goabsinc.com, and the 1-800 Office Solutions channel. Pricing is quote-driven, with published tiers ranging from entry-level desktop MFPs at $65-100/month to production-level systems at $400-900/month; managed IT services carry a stated 99.9% network uptime SLA. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no M&A history, and an 11-employee headcount as of January 2022 within an overall 11-50 firmographic band.
