Guidepoint Systems is growing again, this time at its new headquarters in Madison Heights.
The GPS-oriented firm moved from Pontiac six months ago and now employs a staff of 40, including six recent hires. The firm also has a Texas office with 30 people. It plans to keep hiring at both sites as it continues to capitalize on its sales growth.
"We moved some of our jobs from Texas to Madison Heights because we wanted them to be closer to our customers," says Brian Edwards, vice president of Guidepoint Systems.
Guidepoint Systems offers a complete package that integrates global positioning satellites (GPS), advanced wireless technology, the Internet, and full-time response centers to provide stolen vehicle recovery, driver safety and convenience, vehicle tracking, and fleet management services. Guidepoint is sold as an alternative to Lojack, OnStar, and other branded navigation, security, fleet management, and vehicle tracking products.
It was started in 2002 by Rand Mueller, a serial entrepreneur who now serves as the company's CEO.
