Automated Business Solutions

Starting a business can be arduous with no guarantees of success. Maintaining a business through good times and bad can prove to be challenging. Being able to persevere through the travails of business ownership and reach a milestone anniversary shows commitment to excellence and also becoming a fixture in the community.

Now, add in a second award for being a great place to work makes everything they have done worthwhile and a justification for all of the long hours and hard work that went into making this happen.

That’s why Automated Business Solutions, located on 415 Kilvert Street in Warwick, have become local mainstays. They provide office products, services and solutions to clients in three states. Because of their efforts, they now have two reasons to be excited. First, they are celebrating their 30th year in business, a monumental achievement. On top of that, they were recently rewarded with the distinction of being named one of “The Best Places to Work in RI” by Providence Business News. ABS President Mike Ardry said the company has come into its own from its humble beginning.

“When this company started, it was (Co-Founders) Alan (Albergaria) and Bobby (Maceroni) in a small room with an idea and a strategy. From those seeds, they planted a vision that remains successful and a high standard to live up to.

“We are thrilled to be named as one of PBNs ‘Best Places to Work in RI’,” Ardry continued. “It’s really a testament to the culture started by Alan, Bobby and the employees doing their part to contribute to the company’s success.

Indeed, when Albergaria and Maceroni started in a small room in 1992, their idea was to give companies innovative ideas and technologies to make their professional lives easier.

Since Automated Business Solutions opened their doors, they have experienced remarkable growth and success. This is a result of the company’s steadfast and unwavering commitment to its original vision.

Throughout its history, Automated Business Solutions has made several strategic acquisitions, allowing them to enter new geographic markets. Furthermore, ABS continually invests in its current customers by providing added valued solutions in addition to traditional copiers. Whether its copiers, printers, office supplies, phone systems, mailing equipment or IT Services, the ABS team prides itself on being a single source for many critical office requirements.

Maceroni said their idea that has since grown to currently serve companies in Massachusetts, Connecticut and their home base in Rhode Island, was something they envisioned

“Companies being able to see our vision through has been bittersweet,” said Maceroni. Albergeria sadly, was killed by a drunk driver on March 27, 2020. “Alan and I had plans to improve the possibility of helping their bottom lines by becoming more productive and aiding in their success. We pride ourselves on integrity, exceptional customer service, support and the understanding to exceed in every aspect of our business.”

Over the years, high-quality acquisitions have given ABS the additional talent that has been required to maintain the quality and depth of services we provide our customers.

As a result of their growth, Automated Business Solutions is looking to increase their staff! They are seeking qualified candidates for sales and warehouse positions. Interested candidates should submit their credentials to the company at jthomson@absne.com.

The company was one of nearly 70 businesses statewide that received the PBN honor. The Magazine sent out a survey that employees replied anonymously with their answers. After the votes and responses were tallied, the company was informed of their newest award. How did it make the company’s executives feel when they heard the news? They weren’t surprised, “Everyone does their part to ensure a successful completion of the tasks.” Ardry said.

“It makes us feel great that the people who work here want to come in and contribute,” he said. “We are not only community focused, but we are focused on the community. There are many groups and causes the company supports. We are proud of our service to helping others and are glad our employees feel respected and a part of the team.”
