Future Ready Solutions

What Future Ready Solutions does

Future Ready Solutions is a privately held, U.S.-headquartered specialty distributor founded in 2014 and based in Bonita Springs, Florida. The company curates and supplies a vetted portfolio of connectivity, signal distribution, networking, and power products—including fiber optics, HDMI cables (up to 8K/48Gbps), AV-over-IP systems, weatherproof enclosures, UPS/power protection, and installation tools—to professional AV and networking integrators across the United States. It distributes products from more than a dozen manufacturer brands (Cleerline, Kordz, AVPro Edge, Belden, LightSpeed, Altelix, Xtreme Power, ROBOfiber, PPC, Murideo, Platinum Tools, Planet Waves, Speaker Snap, Austere) and positions the portfolio as pre-validated for interoperability, with third-party DPL Labs certification on key HDMI lines.

The company's business model is a dealer-only, sales-led distribution operation. Products are sold exclusively through a registered dealer portal at login-gated pricing, supported by a national network of local rep firms, vendor membership in three major AV buying groups (Azione Unlimited, OASYS, ProSource), and participation in industry events (CEDIA Expo, ISE). Future Ready Solutions monetizes primarily through hardware resale at distributor margins, supplemented by value-added services—pre-sales system design, technical support, training (e.g., fiber optic course launched 2024), and rebate programs—that drive attach and retention. Customer concentration is low: the firm reports more than 3,000 integration professional accounts spanning residential custom installation, commercial AV, and networking deployment use cases. Leadership is concentrated in founder and President Eric Bodley, a 2017 CEDIA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.
