About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Spiffy Announces $30 Million Series C to Drive Growth and Fuel Digital Servicing

Complete car care company plans meaningful year-over-year growth with new strategic investors

Get Spiffy, Inc. (Spiffy®), an on-demand car care, technology, and services company, today announced the closing of its Series C financing round, raising $30 million to drive growth across the business and fuel Spiffy’s private-label hardware and software-as-a-service offering for automotive dealers, Digital Servicing.

The round was led by Edison Partners, with participation from existing investors Tribeca Venture Partners, Bull City Venture Partners, IDEA Fund Partners, Trog Hawley Capital, Attinger, Private Access Network, and strategic investors Shell Ventures, Goodyear Ventures, and Mann+Hummel. The Presidio Group acted as exclusive advisor to Spiffy on the round, which included procuring automotive dealer groups as new strategic investors such as Bowers Automotive Group, Qvale Auto Group, and the Sewell family, among others.

Since its launch in 2014, Spiffy has delivered over 2 million mobile automotive services nationwide and is currently delivering between 3,000 and 4,000 services daily across 45+ markets with over 500 W2 technicians and ASE-certified mechanics in 350+ vans nationwide. By focusing on strategic initiatives across geographies, services, and lines of business, Spiffy delivered back-to-back years of 90%+ growth. With this investment, the company plans to go deeper in each of these areas by launching new franchise markets, rolling out Spiffy Tires and Spiffy Brakes, and introducing medium and heavy duty fleet services across the country.

Lenard Marcus, General Partner at Edison Partners, said, “Spiffy continues to impress with thoughtful execution of strategic initiatives. By listening to their customers across segments, they innovate with agility, and Edison is excited to deepen our partnership as the company positions itself as a market leader.”

“After building my last businesses on the thesis of products going digital through eCommerce, we wanted to explore the idea of services going digital next,” said Spiffy CEO Scot Wingo. “Spiffy is scaling faster than any of my previous start-ups because we are meeting the quickly evolving preferences of convenience-oriented customers across our fleet and consumer verticals. I’m both humbled and grateful to the existing and new investors coming along with us on this ride and plan to deliver great results in return.”

Spiffy introduced Digital Servicing in 2020 to support Dealers going mobile by providing private label proprietary van upfit, a comprehensive software solution for a Dealerbranded app suite that includes an iPhone and Android consumer app, technician app, and manager/customer service dashboard, as well as best practice training.

“Automotive industry leaders understand the growing need to meet customers 'where they are' and Spiffy is uniquely positioned to provide software, hardware, and mobile service delivery expertise to help the industry elevate customer experience and grow revenue,” said Brodie Cobb, CEO of Presidio Group, who advised Spiffy on the round.

“After seeing what Spiffy is building from the consumer app to green mobile service delivery, we are thrilled to invest in its growth. We look forward to seeing how Digital Servicing helps our industry evolve by delivering convenient and ecofriendly services to customers where they want,” said Bruce Qvale, CEO of Qvale Auto Group.
