Westlake, TX (Aug. 3, 2026)<\/em> \u2014 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\u2019s strong technology stack and AI capabilities into ECI\u2019s end-to-end ERP offering strengthens the company\u2019s ability to serve office supply dealers across the U.K., Ireland, and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s ERP software, enhanced by Prima\u2019s comprehensive technology offering, enables dealers to deliver faster and with greater accuracy and scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cECI 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\u2019s 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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis acquisition isn\u2019t about changing Prima; it\u2019s about giving our products and our people the resources to become even better at scale,\u201d said Stephen McLaughlin, CEO, Prima. \u201cWith 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\u2019re 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
