What Office Depot does

ODP Business Solutions, LLC is the business-to-business division of The ODP Corporation (NASDAQ: ODP), headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, and operating as a one-stop-shop distributor of workplace products and services across the United States. The company offers a broad portfolio spanning office supplies, paper, ink and toner, computers and accessories, electronics, furniture, breakroom and cleaning supplies, and professional services including same-day printing, direct mail, promotional apparel, workspace interiors design, coffee and water services, and technology services (ODP Tech Connect and ODP Managed Services). Its distribution is delivered through a multi-channel mix: an account-gated e-commerce platform with personalized pricing, physical retail stores, dedicated enterprise account teams providing consultative sales, nationwide distribution with custom next business-day delivery, and mobile applications on iOS and Android.

The business model combines transactional product sales (supplies, technology hardware, furniture), subscription and recurring services (breakroom, coffee, water, supply replenishment), professional services (print, managed technology), and account-based contract pricing tied to customer login. The go-to-market motion is primarily enterprise field sales supplemented by inside sales, e-commerce self-service, and retail foot traffic, targeting verticals including Education, Facilities Management, and Technology/Facilities segments. Customers include institutional buyers such as school districts, with Baldwin Public School District cited as a case-study customer. Pricing is opaque to guest users and personalized by account, with online reporting tools for order and spend tracking. The company competes via a strategic supplier network (3M, HP, Brother, Newell, Georgia-Pacific, Keurig, Logitech, among others), national logistics scale, and nearly 30 years of B2B operating experience inherited from the Office Depot brand.
