Red Falcon will serve independent dealers in office supplies, furniture and equipment that want to grow their businesses by continued expansion into e-commerce and other business verticals.

This industry is very competitive and the trend toward consolidation of vertical markets makes the stakes even higher. To compete in this market and remain independent, a dealer has to have not only a system that can handle multiple verticals but also viable e-commerce.

Red Falcon represents the best of both worlds between ECi\u2019s other office products business systems, Red Cheetah\u2122 and Britannia V5\u2122 software.
