TIBS

What TIBS does

TIBS (The Intuitive Biomedical Solution, Inc.) is a privately held US biomedical equipment sales, service, and parts supply company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Benton, Arkansas. It distributes and services a broad catalog of new and refurbished medical imaging and biomedical equipment — including C-Arms, ultrasound systems, CT scanners, mobile radiography, anesthesia delivery systems, PACS software, cardiac catheterization labs, and digital R/F rooms — sourced from major OEMs such as GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers, Dräger, Mindray, Shimadzu, Ziehm Imaging, Orthoscan, and SARC. The company positions itself as a cost-efficient alternative to OEM-direct procurement, offering refurbished equipment at 50-70% below new-equipment pricing and operating under cooperative maintenance contracts.

The business combines equipment resale with aftermarket service revenue: on-site OEM-trained technicians perform corrective and preventative maintenance across 21+ US cities, supported by a stocked parts inventory, next-morning parts delivery, a chemical-solvent multi-point inspection process, a 90-day warranty, and complimentary technical support. Go-to-market blends direct field sales for enterprise accounts with an inbound phone/email inside-sales motion (toll-free 866-499-3966) and a website-based quote-and-service-request channel, supplemented by content marketing and a monthly newsletter. Customers are hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and physician practices — with named testimonials from Arctic Spine (Anchorage, AK) and Arkansas Pain & Wellness (Fort Smith, AR) — predominantly in price-sensitive segments that benefit from refurbished-equipment economics.

Ownership is founder/operator-controlled with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent-company backing, and no funding rounds have been disclosed. The operating model is asset-light in software terms but capital-intensive in parts inventory and certified technician labor, and the company competes against both OEM-direct service organizations and other independent third-party service providers in a fragmented US biomedical service market.
