ECI Software Solutions Acquires ES Tech Group

The cloud business technology company ECI Software Solutions announced Friday (Oct. 7) the completion of its takeover of ES Tech Group, a U.K.-based B2B eCommerce software and services business.

The acquisition expands ECI’s existing eCommerce solutions portfolio and furthers its investments in the digital economy and eCommerce, the firm stated in a press release.

ECI specializes in cloud-based business management solutions, mostly targeted at small- to medium-sized businesses. The company’s latest purchase builds on previous acquisitions and partnerships that help it offer a range of services to businesses. These include the acquisition of MyProduction Group, a provider of integrated cloud solutions for manufacturing and logistics companies in the Nordics, and a partnership with Paymerang that allows ECI to offer its clients cloud-based invoice and payment automation.
