Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
In business since October 1999
What is your primary product or service?
We provide automation consulting and technical services to increase the quality and efficiency of our clients' automated processes. We serve clients in several different industries, including pharmaceutical, discrete manufacturing, oil & gas, food & beverage, and packaging.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As experienced engineers, the three owners of QSPEC Solutions sought to share their expertise by providing automation services with a focus on 5 core values they felt were integral to good business - Quality, Service, Partnership, Experience, and Commitment. That was the origin of the name QSPEC, and the start of a value-driven, client-centered automation team that delivers customized, successful systems.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
From risk/benefit analysis to project planning, system design to implementation, validation to continued support, the QSPEC team listens, understands, and provides complete solutions. Focused on partnership, we use our skills and experience to create custom automation solutions based on the goals of each of our clients. We are the advisors, the experts, and the support to our clients in all areas of automation, and their success and profitablity is our ultimate concern.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently serve clients across the nation from our corporate headquarters in Overland Park, KS and maintain a satellite office in Raleigh-Durham, NC. We are always growing our business to better serve our partners, and believe that through keeping our overhead costs low, our clients benefit. Since so much of our business is successfully conducted through telecommunications, we have no need to open additional office locations.
Provide detailed directions to your location
Our suite of offices is located on the 3rd floor of Building 4 in the Cloverleaf Office Park situated on the Northeast corner of Metcalf Avenue and Shawnee Mission Parkway in Overland Park.
What type of payments do you accept?
Payment by check is most common. Our services are generally funded by client Purchase Orders, which we invoice against. We also offer support programs based on retainers, and have the capability of accepting credit cards when applicable.
Which areas do you service?
The facilities of our clients are usually located in the United States, though we have worked on systems in international locations as well, including Mexico, China, and Norway.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
QSPEC Solutions, Inc. is still owned by the three founding engineers (Tim, Ken, and Jim). Tim manages daily operations through the office staff.
What are your hours of operation?
General office business hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, although our engineers are on-call for our support clients 24/7. Due to the nature of engineering services, we often work weekends and holidays to implement projects during manufacturing facility shutdowns or during the timeframes that are most convenient for our clients.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
A joining in partnership with QSPEC Solutions and the recognition of our company team as trusted advisors is the most powerful compliment we can receive - it goes beyond repeat business and emcompasses mutual success, respect, and commitment to quality.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
