Fort Worth-based ECI Software Solutions, a leader in cloud-based business management solutions, on Friday announced that it had completed the acquisition of ES Tech Group, a U.K.-based B2B eCommerce software and services company serving small and medium-sized enterprise manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
This acquisition expands ECI’s existing eCommerce portfolio and furthers ECI’s investments in the digital economy and eCommerce allowing ECI to expand into markets not served today.
“Every industry we serve needs an eCommerce strategy to meet customer expectations and support growth,” says ECI CEO Trevor Gruenewald in a statement. “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. We look forward to welcoming Paddy [Donnelly, ES Tech CEO] and his team to the ECI family and working together to grow our business applications suite.”
ECI is a privately held company with offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, England, the Netherlands, and Australia.
ES Tech Group has developed an eCommerce platform for markets including industrial, business supplies, electrical, plumbing, gas and welding, medical supplies, and more. In addition, the company operates a growth agency that specializes in marketing and catalog development to help businesses capitalize on traditional and digital sales channels. ES Tech’s products will join ECI’s growing suite of business applications that can be integrated across its vertically based solutions.
“At ES Tech Group, our mission is to provide SME [small- and medium-sized enterprise] 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,” says Donnelly. “We have the team, the technology, and now the firepower of ECI behind us. We see limitless opportunities for our customers and our team.”
