APS Corporation

What APS Corporation does

APS Corporation is a New Jersey-headquartered security and fire alarm systems integrator serving residential homeowners, small and mid-sized businesses, and large enterprise customers across the New Jersey and Tri-State region. Founded in 1981 by Daniel F. Jacquish and now led by President and CEO Scott Jacquish, the company was acquired by Pye-Barker Fire & Safety on May 6, 2026, and continues to operate as a subsidiary under its existing brand. Its core offering spans security systems, fire alarm systems, access control, video surveillance (CCTV), and mass notification systems, designed to function as an integrated security ecosystem rather than as standalone point products.

The company's technology stack combines best-in-class third-party hardware and platforms with internally operated service infrastructure. APS holds Authorized ESD (Engineered Systems Distributor) status with Notifier by Honeywell and maintains factory-trained and certified technician coverage across Bosch Security, DSX, Brivo, Stanley PAC, Vicon, and Exacq Technologies. Differentiated service capabilities include a UL-listed central station monitoring center operating 24/7/365, cellular alarm monitoring compliant with NFPA 72 (2010 edition), GPS-dispatched fleet management for emergency response, BuildingReports-enabled inspection and compliance reporting, and AI-powered intelligent surveillance cameras providing anomaly detection and real-time alerts. Certifications include UL listing for fire and security monitoring, NFPA-compliant inspection protocols, and NFPA-aligned fire detection design.

APS operates an enterprise field sales motion combining consultative site assessment, customized system design, certified installation, and ongoing service. Revenue is generated across four streams: one-time installation and engineering fees, recurring 24/7 monitoring subscriptions, periodic inspection and testing engagements, and emergency service and repair work. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract structures, and no published price list exists. The customer base spans three size tiers (commercial/enterprise, SMB, and residential) and several regulated verticals including education, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and government, with documented relationships reaching Fortune 100 corporations. The go-to-market relies on direct field sales, the company website, customer referrals, and cross-leverage of Pye-Barker's national marketing footprint.
