GFI Software Teams Up with Zebra Systems for Distribution in North America

In a significant move to strengthen its presence in the North American market, GFI Software, a globally recognized leader in AI-driven communication and security solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has appointed Zebra Systems LLC as its primary distribution partner. This partnership, effective April 21, 2026, aims to consolidate GFI's distribution strategy across the U.S. and Canada, enhancing support and resources for their reseller network.

Founded with the vision to empower SMEs, GFI Software offers a range of intelligent solutions designed to simplify IT management and enhance security. The decision to work exclusively with Zebra Systems reflects GFI's commitment to refine its channel strategy and invest in advanced training and support for partners throughout North America.

Zebra Systems: A Proven Partner

Zebra Systems has a rich history, having served as GFI's most successful distributor in Europe for over 15 years. Their expertise and proven track record made them a natural choice for expanding GFI's reach in North America. Eric Vaughan, CEO of GFI, highlighted this long-standing partnership and expressed confidence in Zebra Systems' potential to replicate its European success in the U.S. market.

“Zebra has shown remarkable performance as GFI's distributor globally over the years,” said Vaughan. “When I met with Zdenek (Binek), CEO of Zebra, I emphasized the need for a similar level of partnership in North America. They invested in building a skilled team here, bringing invaluable experience that aligns perfectly with our goals for growth.”

Enhanced Support for Resellers

As part of their strategic alliance, Zebra Systems will provide resellers with a specialized web portal designed to simplify order processing and support. This platform will include access to technical assistance, practical business support from GFI experts, and comprehensive training programs aimed at driving partners’ businesses forward. In 2025, Zebra Systems was recognized by GFI for its exceptional growth and innovative approaches within the distribution landscape, reinforcing its capabilities in serving partners effectively.

Paul Trefonas, Vice President of Sales for North America at Zebra Systems, emphasized the company's commitment to being the growth engine for GFI partners. “Our team is well-versed in GFI products, and we continue to invest in the resources and support that resellers need to thrive,” Trefonas stated. This dedication is expected to accelerate the growth of GFI's partner ecosystem in North America, enhancing the overall customer experience.

Transition for Current Partners

The distribution agreement with Climb Channel Solutions will officially conclude on April 21, 2026. GFI expressed gratitude for the collaboration and support provided by Climb during its tenure as a distribution partner.
