About Telcobuy.com

Telcobuy.com, now operating as TBX, was established in 1999 as a spin-off from World Wide Technology's telecommunications division by founders David Steward and Jim Kavanaugh. Initially focused on reselling IT hardware, the firm has since evolved into a global systems integrator and supply chain solutions provider. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, TBX operates as a privately held Minority Business Enterprise (MBE).

The company's business model revolves around providing comprehensive technology and supply chain services primarily to large public and private organizations, with a specialization in serving service providers, media companies, and cable organizations. Revenue is generated by managing the full lifecycle of technology hardware—from procurement, staging, and integration to deployment and asset recovery. TBX leverages its status as an authorized reseller for major OEMs and maintains strategic partnerships with over 100 manufacturers, including Cisco, Dell EMC, and Fortinet, giving clients access to a vast inventory. The firm also offers a suite of professional and managed services, including consulting, agile project teams, and business process optimization to help clients enhance operational efficiency and accelerate time-to-market.

A core component of TBX's service offering is its Advanced Technology Center (ATC), a virtual ecosystem that allows clients to design, test, and deploy complex, multi-vendor technology solutions. This facility provides access to over $1 billion in technology products across data center, security, and networking. Furthermore, the company manages over 4 million square feet of warehousing and integration space, enabling it to handle large-scale logistics and supply chain demands for its global clientele. By combining hardware distribution with value-added services like custom software development, cloud migration, and security risk management, TBX positions itself as an end-to-end partner for digital transformation.
