Ares Operations LLC

In 2022, ISRD Systems was founded with a singular vision: to help businesses take full control of their installed sales operations by delivering fully built, ready-to-run divisions. The founders recognized that companies selling tangible products were losing revenue and brand control by relying on third-party installation providers or generic SaaS platforms that couldn't integrate seamlessly with their operations. This insight led to the creation of a new model - the Installed Sales Revenue Division, a fully operational, company-owned subsidiary designed to optimize and manage installation services. Powered by advanced automation and AI, ISRD's divisions recruit expert installers, optimize workflow management, and seamlessly integrate with existing business systems. The company has developed innovations in areas like artificial empathy and cognitive robotics, with applications that extend far beyond the initial industry. Their structured Build, Operate, Transfer, License (BOTL) process ensures that businesses gain complete operational independence - owning 100% of their Installation Division post-transfer. Today, ISRD continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in human-digital collaboration and agentic AI, helping enterprise teams design, build, and operationalize divisions that deliver measurable business outcomes.

In 1976, White Cap was born from a simple yet powerful insight: professional contractors needed a reliable partner who could provide everything required to keep projects moving on time, on budget, and safely.

What started as a local construction supply business has grown into North America's leading distributor, built through the collective journeys of local supply companies united by a shared commitment to exceptional customer service.
