The Brand Builder Award recognizes partners who used improved processes and insights as well as tech to improve their client’s end-customer experience — and thus increase brand loyalty and profit margins.

MBX Systems, a Libertyville, Illinois-based system integrator, takes home the honor for its work with a video surveillance company. Working closely with the customer to hit the required price targets, MBX Systems engineered two tower-based and two rackmount platforms with varying storage and recording throughput specifications.

Rather than use a commercial off-the-shelf system, the MBX team selected a whitebox chassis and spec’d each component independently in order to achieve the best price/performance ratio for each platform configuration. The team also developed custom branding and a custom bezel with a locking mechanism for security.

The resulting solution, launched in June 2018 complete with pre-loaded software and license keys, opened a whole new market for the customer by providing a no-hassle turnkey installation as well as extensive customization options tailored to disparate surveillance needs.
