ECI purchases ES Tech Group

ECI Software Solutions announced that it has completed the acquisition of ES Tech Group, a U.K.-based B2B e-commerce software and services company serving small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers.

This purchase, said the cloud-based firm, expands ECI’s existing e-commerce portfolio and furthers ECI’s investments in the digital economy and e-commerce allowing ECI to expand into markets not served today. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“At ES Tech Group, our mission is to provide SME businesses with world-class technology and services, allowing them to protect their businesses and compete head-on, and win, against the biggest competitors – a similar mission to that of ECI’s,” said Paddy Donnelly, CEO of ES Tech Group.

ES Tech Group has developed an e-commerce platform for markets including industrial, business supplies, electrical, plumbing, gas and welding, medical supplies and more.

“Every industry we serve needs an e-commerce strategy to meet customer expectations and support growth,” said Trevor Gruenewald, CEO of ECI.

“Offering our collective customers the ability to run a superior online presence while driving data-driven decisions through their back-end ERP solution strengthens ECI’s position as a one-stop-shop for all business management needs,” said Gruenewald.

ES Tech’s products will join ECI’s growing suite of business applications that can be integrated across its vertically based solutions.

“We look forward to welcoming Paddy and his team to the ECI family and working together to grow our business applications suite,” said Gruenewald.
