ECI Software Solutions Acquires Prima, Delivering Global Scale for Business
Management of Office Supply Businesses

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.

WESTLAKE, Texas, August 3, 2026 — 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.”
