Facility Solutions Group (FSG)

Lighting

Founded in 1982, FSG opened our doors as a specialty lighting distributor, and our capabilities have only expanded in the decades since. Now one of the nation’s largest lighting wholesalers, we represent all of the leading lighting manufacturers and can support all of a facility’s product procurement needs. FSG’s lighting design professionals are experts at computer-aided designs that produce the best lighting solutions in the industry. We operate state-of-the-art solutions centers that showcase the most innovative lighting products and host educational seminars. All of our products, services, and solutions offer leading-edge high-efficiency lamps and fixtures. Our advanced lighting controls maximize visual impact and lower total cost of ownership, transforming “sustainable solutions” into “smart business”.

We became a provider of electrical products, services, and solutions in 1986. FSG is a full-service electrical contractor providing electrical service, project management, and electrical engineering, in addition to being one of the industry’s largest electrical wholesalers. Our electrical experts provide new construction services, complete rewires and retrofits, and energy audits. No matter the job, we offer tailor-made solutions that fit your needs and budget, while delivering excellent value. We also provide 24-hour emergency service with our fleet of service vans, sign trucks, bucket trucks, and cranes, all operated by our highly-trained and safety-conscious technicians.

In 1998, we added energy management technologies to our repertoire. We offer energy and maintenance saving opportunities through our open, web-based, enterprise energy management solution. Clarity®, our proprietary energy management system (EMS), allows for real-time monitoring and analysis of your enterprise-level system, giving you the vision and flexibility to maximize control and maintenance spend. With Clarity® we can install an entirely new EMS, or we can adapt Clarity® to the systems you already have in place..

FSG introduced our technology line of offerings in 2005. This includes infrastructure services, such as cabling, wireless, and circuit installations, in addition to tailor-made design and implementation of audio/visual and security system solutions. Our technology experts continuously train in the newest, most advanced products on the market, ensuring that you always receive the best solutions, built and serviced by the best technicians.

We began designing and installing signage solutions in 2007. Whether you need a sign to advertise your start-up, direction and map signs to guide customers through your building or site, or a complete signage overhaul for an 80,000-seat sports complex, FSG can design, build, install, and maintain the perfect signage solution for you.

Services

Our vertically integrated, full-service structure allows FSG to offer one of the most cost effective and efficient solutions in the marketplace. Use one service or use them all.

Sales Advantage

FSG's web-based Green Solutions program allows for our team to log on from anywhere and input the data they collect on a survey. Once uploaded, this data will be available for an FSG administer to approve immediately. This step of approving projects has proven to be extremely important in maintaining continuity throughout the program.

Our process allows for both in house and “partner” sales staff to all attend a two-week sales boot camp that provides comprehensive training for consistent results.

FSG has developed a unique sales strategy that allows all customers to understand the program with a clear concise message. From the initial sales introduction to the close, all sales people will present the program the same. This strategy allows for on boarding new sales people quickly and efficiently and gives programs almost infinite scalability.

Labor Advantage

FSG has developed a contractor workbook within our Green Solutions program that is contractor friendly and encourages participation from contractor partners that would not normally participate. It includes fixture types, room breakdowns, material packing lists, cut sheets, installation guides, hours/minutes per ECM and a complete labor purchase order. FSG will train all licensed electricians in the art of lighting retrofit installations and show them how to make a profit doing so.

FSG will hold contractor seminars and training workshops that are often paid for through participating associations and manufacturers, allowing more program dollars to flow towards actual installed measures and lowering the installed cost per kWh.

Product Procurement

As a distributor for all the major lighting manufacturers, FSG will negotiate pricing and take the buying power we have achieved nationally and push through the program. We can negotiate extended warranties for specific programs, and as the warranty service arm for several manufacturers we can insure persistence of installed measures as well as a more pleasant experience for your customers.

FSG's Green Solutions allows for product forecasting that we will purchase in advance and hold as inventory until all the proper documentation is signed and approved. This allows for quicker to market installations and reduces the lag time between signed contracts and complete installations.

Administration

FSG Green Solutions compiles all the information to run this program within the background of the system. With simple to use data collection points, the system then takes all the data and generates all the information needed for the customer and the utilities. The energy goals will be in our web-based program in real time, so finding out where the program stands will be at the click of a button.
