What QSA does

QSA (福建求实智能股份有限公司, Fujian Qiushi Intelligent Co., Ltd.) is a Xiamen-headquartered Chinese smart building solutions provider that designs, manufactures, and integrates building intercom, smart access control, hotel room automation, smart home, and intelligent community systems. Founded in 2001 by Zhang Andong, a former Xiamen Customs official, the company built its core portfolio around the QSA-9000 Digital Intelligent Terminal System (TCP/IP-based digital intercom integrating video door entry, home security, appliance control, and community services) and the QSA-9800 RCU-based Hotel Guest Room Control System for high-end hotels. The product architecture is anchored by the Smart Community Cloud Platform (QSA智慧人居综合服务云系统), which spans residential complexes, hotels, shopping centers, and schools, with 25+ national patents and 20+ software copyrights supporting the technology stack.\n\nQSA generates revenue through project-based hardware sales and integrated system delivery across three primary streams: building intercom systems for residential communities, smart hotel control systems for four- and five-star hospitality, and whole-house smart home systems for luxury residential projects. Pricing is quote-based, determined by project scope and configuration, structured as multi-year contracts, and delivered through a three-tier distribution model combining direct enterprise sales (Luneng Group, Zhonghai Group, Kempinski Xiamen, Hainan Longmu Bay), 60+ city-level regional partner operations, and strategic alliances such as the China City Alliance strategic supplier agreement and the Qingdao Haier U-HOME partnership. The company holds the only China Well-Known Trademark in the smart hotel industry and Level-1 qualification for building intelligent engineering design and construction, enabling unlimited-scale project bidding.\n\nThe company was listed on China's New Third Board (NEEQ, stock code 430484) from January 2014 through December 1, 2021, completing three directed private placement share issuances before delisting to revert to private family-controlled ownership under founding chairman Zhang Andong and his spouse Zhang Hongling (general manager) via holding company 厦门求实智能网络设备有限公司. With 11-50 employees, a hardware-and-integration cost structure, and a national sales/service network spanning 60+ Chinese cities, QSA operates a small but established B2B enterprise model that depends on Chinese real estate and hospitality construction cycles.
