What FSIoffice does

FSIoffice, legally Forms & Supply, Inc., is a privately-held full-line office products and equipment distributor headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 1962 by Jimmy Godwin and rebranded to FSIoffice in December 2001, the company has operated continuously for over 60 years across three generations of family ownership. It serves corporate offices, small businesses, healthcare facilities, K-12 and higher education institutions, and federal and state/local government agencies, primarily across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, with national accounts capability through a partnership with American Office Products Distributors (AOPD). The company is WBENC-certified as a Woman's Business Enterprise.

The company distributes ten product categories: office supplies (paper, ink/toner, filing, writing), commercial and educational furniture with certified installation, school supplies including the ClassKits program, cleaning and janitorial supplies, coffee and breakroom products, custom printing, promotional products, technology supplies, and safety/PPE. Underlying technology is a third-party e-commerce platform from ECI Software Solutions integrated with catalog and order management, while physical fulfillment relies on over 120,000 square feet of stocking-dealer warehouse space and a fleet of more than 75 delivery vehicles enabling next-day delivery across the Southeast.

FSIoffice operates a hybrid direct-sales and e-commerce B2B model with assigned customer service representatives for account-based ordering, login-gated negotiated pricing, manufacturer rebate programs, and e-invoicing. The company has 9 distribution locations across 5 states, an inventory of more than 8,500 items, and a privately-disclosed employee count in the 250-500 range (250+ cited on the main site and 300+ on the About Us page).
