Strive Workplace Solutions

What Strive Workplace Solutions does

Strive Workplace Solutions is a privately held, family-owned office products and furniture distributor headquartered in Portland, Oregon, operating seven locations across Oregon, Idaho, and Utah. The company sells more than 70,000 SKUs across six categories — office supplies, furniture and storage, janitorial and sanitation, breakroom, custom printing, and branded promotional products — to small and mid-size businesses, corporate offices, and remote/hybrid workers. Go-to-market is dual-channel: field sales with local account managers and workspace consultants handling consultative quoting and on-site design, plus an e-commerce platform at shop.striveoffice.com for self-service ordering. The company differentiates on local service (in-house delivery drivers who place product at the workstation, no outsourced call centers), next-day delivery in service areas, no minimum-order requirements, and turnkey furniture design and installation services.

The technology stack is intentionally lean and partnership-driven rather than proprietary. The notable technical component is the use of KITS Collaborator, a cloud-based virtual office design platform from Toronto-based KiSP, Inc., which enables furniture specialists to produce photorealistic 3D renderings and immersive panoramic presentations for workspace planning projects. The company has no disclosed API, no mobile app, and no proprietary AI/ML capabilities. Core operating systems are the AOPD (American Office Products Distributors) buying-group network for national pricing and distribution scale, and a manufacturer rebate program spanning P&G, Clorox, and Newell brands. Strive was formed in May 2020 through the rebranding of five predecessor regional operators (Southwest Office Supply, Cascade Office Supply, Office Value, ROSI, and Layton's), with predecessor roots going back to 1967 (or 1984 for Layton Office Supply). Since formation the company has executed one tuck-in acquisition (Pencilman Office Products, November 2022) and opened a new Southern Utah location (St. George, June 2023). Leadership comprises Owner/CEO Paul Savory and President Jeff Lurcook; the company employs 51-100 people and is not publicly listed.

Direct peers

• Quill: B2B office supplies e-tailer (Staples-owned) with deep catalog and account-based pricing. Closely comparable as a B2B office supplies specialist, though distributed rather than local.
• W.B. Mason: Independently owned office products and furniture distributor serving businesses across multiple U.S. regions with a similar combination of dedicated account managers, next-day delivery, and workspace/furniture services—closely comparable in model and customer profile to Strive.
• EO Johnson Business Technologies: Regional independent office products and document-services dealer serving SMB and mid-market customers with supplies, furniture, and managed print—mirroring Strive's local account-manager GTM and multi-category catalog.
• Independent Stationers Group (ISG): Office products buying group/network of independent dealers. Strive operates an analogous model through AOPD, making ISG its most direct peer in terms of independent-dealer aggregation strategy.
• Cougar Office Products: Independent regional office products reseller focused on the Pacific Northwest and West Coast with supplies, furniture, and janitorial offerings—directly overlapping Strive's footprint and product mix.
• Thomas Printworks: Commercial print and promotional products provider overlapping Strive's custom printing and promotional products revenue streams, frequently co-marketed with office supplies dealers.

Broad incumbents

• Staples: Largest U.S. office products retailer with national distribution, B2B contracts, and e-commerce. Competes head-to-head on commodity supplies while lacking Strive's local account-manager depth.
• Office Depot (ODP Corporation): National office products retailer offering supplies, furniture, and print services to businesses of all sizes. Represents the broader incumbent alternative against which Strive's regional service competes.
• Amazon Business: E-commerce-first B2B procurement platform competing on price, catalog breadth, and delivery convenience. Represents the structural pricing pressure on office supplies resellers like Strive.
• Haworth: Major office furniture manufacturer sold through a dealer network. Relevant as the upstream supplier whose dealership channel Strive competes within for workspace design and installation projects.
