Tell us the story of your company.

Yevhen Petrov: My company was founded before moving to America. I was engaged in the installation and maintenance of security systems and smart home in the private segment in Ukraine, and after moving to the United States I decided to develop this business further and make this service popular and in demand in the Washington state. My company began its activities in 2025 in the U.S. and already has a strong partnership with Ajax distributors and the first orders for the installation of the system.

The uniqueness of the system is that all equipment works and connects to one central system with one single application, and the ability to service the service company, constant updates with new sensors and software development makes this system flexible and easy to use.
