By integrating Progressive's experienced team and established customer base, RapidFire aims to strengthen its market position and provide more comprehensive security solutions.
For Progressive's founder Eddie Notgrass, the acquisition presents an opportunity to leverage RapidFire's resources while maintaining the customer-centric service that has defined the company's success. The existing Progressive team will continue to deliver the exceptional service their clients have come to expect.
