There is no proprietary software platform; the core technology is the physical inventory and the logistics of delivering and installing it.

The business generates revenue entirely through one-time equipment rental fees, with delivery and setup as auxiliary paid services. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone (803-345-0054), email, and a website contact form, supplemented by an active Facebook page, five-star Google reviews, and memberships in the Chapin and Greater Irmo Chambers of Commerce.
