What Applied Technologies does

Applied Technologies is a wholly-owned operating division of Agilix Solutions, LLC, a privately held, family-owned industrial and IT distribution business headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with operational offices across Memphis and Bartlett (TN), Arlington (TN), and Glen (MS). The company delivers information technology solutions across network, data center, security, collaboration, and smart manufacturing domains, working with industrial and manufacturing customers to design, procure, implement, and support infrastructure that bridges operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) environments.

The company's core offering combines hardware distribution with professional and managed services. Product lines span automation, datacom, electrical, industrial supply, power transmission, solar and renewable energy, lighting, metalworking and fabrication, and process control solutions, distributed through an e-commerce portal (my.goAgilix.com), direct sales, regional truck delivery, counter pickup, and carrier shipping. Service offerings include plant performance and automation, material modification and assembly, electronic procurement (EDI, Punchout, eQuote), workplace safety, commercial energy management, inventory management and logistics, project solutions, data center solutions, 24/7 emergency support, digital transformation, workforce training, and industrial and enterprise networking assessments. The portfolio is underpinned by Core strategic partnerships with Rockwell Automation, Panduit, and Cisco, plus membership in industrial buying groups such as Affiliated Distributors and supplyFORCE.

The company makes money through a mix of hardware resale (distribution of technology, electrical, and industrial products) and professional/technical services (consulting, design, integration, managed services, and ongoing support). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration data is not disclosed; the segment mix is horizontal across industrial and manufacturing customers requiring OT/IT networking, smart manufacturing, and digital transformation support, primarily in the Southeast and Midwest US. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified at four distribution locations and markets through the Agilix Solutions digital ecosystem (website, blog, e-commerce portal, and direct sales).
