Strategic move integrates Prima’s cloud-native ecommerce and ERP suite into ECI’s global ecosystem, providing distributors with a comprehensive end-to-end technology ecosystem.

ECI Software Solutions, Inc. (“ECI”), a leader in AI-powered, cloud-based business management software and services, has acquired Prima Business Control Software (“Prima”), a provider of ERP and ecommerce solutions tailored for the business supplies industry. The integration of Prima’s strong technology stack and AI capabilities into ECI’s end-to-end ERP offering strengthens the company’s ability to serve office supply dealers across the U.K., Ireland, and the United States.

Office supply dealers manage a complex range of products with rising expectations to deliver seamless ordering and instant service experiences amid increasing competition from e-commerce giants. ECI’s ERP software, enhanced by Prima’s comprehensive technology offering, enables dealers to deliver faster and with greater accuracy and scale.

“ECI has more than a 25-year history of commitment to the office supplies industry, and joining forces with Prima is a natural extension of our mission to help independent dealers thrive," said Trevor Gruenewald, CEO, ECI Software Solutions. "At a time when distributors are facing rising customer expectations and tightening margins, the need for streamlined operations is critical. This new chapter reflects a strategic expansion of ECI’s ERP and ecommerce portfolio and a commitment to serving our customers with solutions that anticipate their needs and arm them for success amidst a constantly shifting market."

“This acquisition isn’t about changing Prima; it’s about giving our products and our people the resources to become even better at scale,” said Stephen McLaughlin, CEO, Prima. “With ECI, we are securing a future for Prima that would have been impossible to achieve alone. Now, we can accelerate innovation and provide the enterprise-level stability our customers deserve. We’re still the same Prima at our core, but now we have the 'firepower' to help our customers run their businesses smarter and faster than ever before.”
