Today, Smart Offices and Smart Homes, Inc. serves hundreds of customers across Michigan and the United States – providing personalized, smart technology solutions that fulfill the home and office needs of our customers. Life made easier through technology.
What sets us apart from other smart technology companies? It’s our culture. At Smart Offices and Smart Homes, Inc., we work every day to create a company culture that functions
Smart Offices and Smart Homes (SOSH) founder John Gilluly is no newcomer to the technology world. With more than 25 years of experience in the field, John has worked with hundreds of companies, helping them in a variety of capacities including training, engineering and software development. He has a long career of assisting people to improve their processes, productivity, and communications. He brings that same expertise to our company.
From a very young age, John was always interested in how
Upon graduation, he began work for Carpenter Technology, a company that makes high-temperature premium specialty steels for automotive, aerospace, and specialty applications. He was in charge of high temperature alloys and the TQM program. From there, he received the opportunity to move to Michigan and take a job with a consulting firm and has never moved out of his adopted state. His time consulting allowed him to work with a variety of businesses where he wrote custom software programs, trained, and led
While consulting, a relationship he formed with a customer presented him with another opportunity. He was hired as a plant manager to turn around a manufacturing company that was failing at the time. John’s dedication to producing results helped the company become profitable once more, further establishing his ability to operate as a successful leader. John’s multi-faceted experiences allowed him to closely observe how technology has changed over the years and how it can simplify the things that people do every day.
While sitting in his home office one day, John became frustrated with his inability to turn on the office light without interrupting work – the simplest task. He was convinced that there was a solution to this problem and more significant ones, and Smart Offices and Smart Homes was born. SOSH was designed to fulfill a need that John saw. From that moment on, John pledged that SOSH would be a company that delivers technology that works for their customers – making their lives simpler – and he affirms that mantra today.
When SOSH first began, home and office automation was just getting started and it has been continuously growing more capable at an ever increasing rate. We strive to meet all of the visons and expectations you have to ensure that the technology in your life truly makes your life richer and easier.
Technology is our medium, but working hard, being passionate about our projects or careers, and serving our stakeholders well is the foundation for everything that we do. Our core values set the tone for how we deliver results and build strong relationships both inside of our company and with those we have the pleasure of working with – and we recognize that our customers are the most important part of what we do.
