As a disrupter in the commercial HVAC industry, Q-PAC was a spin-out that began operations with QuickBooks, spreadsheets, and a custom-made ordering system. Its disconnected systems led to inefficiencies in inventory management, production tracking, and cost visibility. Q-PAC lacked part numbers and relied on manual processes that caused errors, delayed order tracking, and hindered accurate project profitability. The company’s rapid growth made forecasting, engineering changes, and scaling operations increasingly difficult.
