(517) 381-5171 contact@smartofficesinc.com Our Story Smart Offices and Smart Homes started over 15 years ago out of the vision of founder John Gilluly. A company that started in a basement out of the dreams of 2 forward-thinkers has blossomed into a profitable company with a team of 25+. Today, Smart Offices and Smart Homes serves hundreds of customers, providing smart technology to fulfill home and office needs throughout Michigan and beyond. In 2019, we opened a second location in the Kalamazoo area, expanding our reach and adding to our commitment to provide technology services that make people’s lives easier. We are dedicated to making technology work for people to improve their lives. Meet the Team Founder Story Smart Offices and Smart Homes founder John Gilluly is no newcomer to the technology world. John had worked for over 25 years with over 150 companies, helping them in a variety of capacities including training, engineering and software development. He has been dedicated to helping people improve their processes, productivity, and communications before starting SOSH and brings that same expertise to our company. From a very young age, John was always interested in how technology worked. Figuring out how to dismantle everything and put them back together was just the beginning. His interests lead him to Lehigh University where he earned degrees in material science and metallurgy with a minor in electrical engineering. Upon graduation, he began work for Carpenter Technology, a company that makes high-temperature premium specialty steels for automotive, aerospace, specialty applications. He was in charge of high temperature allows and the TQM program. From there he got 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 software programs, trained, and led high performance teams to help enhance their quality and processes to improve their bottom line. 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 to make their lives simpler, and he continues that mantra today.
