Why Choose Puget Systems?
This is a legitimate question, because there are many good choices out there. We are happy to be part of an industry with such healthy competition, and we are confident that even with the tough competition we are a clear leader in our field.

Puget Sound Systems was founded by Jon Bach in December of 2000. In 2003, we officially changed our name to Puget Systems because people unfamiliar with the company and the area were confused about whether we sold computers or audio systems! Originally run from Jon's home, the business started small and grew quickly. Over the next eight years, the company outgrew its location again and again. Each time, we moved to a larger and more ideal location.

In January of 2009, we purchased an industrial warehouse in Auburn, WA. By designing the building interior from the ground up, we have been able to significantly improve the efficiency of our build process, and the thoroughness of our testing. Our new facility effectively doubles our usable space. Our current shared warehouse and office environment gives us nearly 14,000 sqare feet to work in, with a whole second floor coming soon. Roughly one third of our current space is dedicated to offices where we handle company administration and customer service. Inventory, shipping, production, and testing are located in the rear warehouse space.

Entering our front door, you step into our office. We maintain a relaxed, positive, and clean environment here at Puget. Our assembly and testing space is no different!
Our philosophy is simple: Build a high quality product, offer outstanding support and your product will sell itself. This is a philosophy based on old fashioned integrity. It makes sense, and it works. Unfortunately, it has become a trend in the last decade for major computer companies to stop focusing on meeting the needs of their customers. Instead, many rely on flashy marketing techniques to make their lower quality systems look more appealing. Be careful when comparing their pricing to Puget. Be sure not to fall for computer systems with misleading advertising and substandard parts!
As a custom computer specialist, Puget Custom Computers was founded with the goal to break the trend of low quality, one-size-fits-all computers and to provide systems with superior performance and reliability. We have gone to great trouble to structure our business in such a way that our goals are, by necessity, the same as yours! Because we have a commitment to the complete support of your computer system, we save ourselves time and money by providing the computer system that is least likely to fail. It seems perfectly logical and straight-forward to us: We can't imagine why some companies would use low quality parts. It just doesn't make sense! Furthermore, we do not hire salesmen. We hire qualified technicians. The people you talk to before your purchase are qualified to build that same computer and give you support after your purchase. We have better things to do than hire a kid without computer experience to feed you canned answers. It all ties back to our philosophy that the best way to run a business is to focus on your product. Get rid of the hype, and focus on your goal -- quality computers!

Our growth strategy is always changing as we learn and expand. Puget began by using common Internet advertising channels and search engines. We quickly learned what did and didn't work, and we've been able to make our advertising many times more efficient than it was when we started. Obviously, with the kind of business philosophy we have, our growth strategy relies heavily on word of mouth. The most encouraging aspect of our strategy is that we know that it works - our growth rate is nearly more than we can handle! At our current growth rate, we double in size every two years. We are already far larger than the lifetime goal of our founder, and we are constantly updating our administrative systems and processes to scale with increased demand.
Our current business model drives down overhead costs, which lets us offer custom computers with relatively small margins. Ultimately, we give you a computer system that is hundreds of dollars below our competitors, with all the personal interaction and expertise that our customers have come to expect. We take great pride in the quality of our computers, and we don't waste time with anything that detracts from this goal. For more information on who we are, or for a list of references, please contact us! We look forward to speaking with you.
