ECI Software Solutions Acquires Sierra Data Systems to Deepen Support for Residential Trade Contractors

ECI Software Solutions

Acquisition builds on two years of momentum, uniting best-in-class job costing and purpose-built technology to transform how contractors run their business.

WESTLAKE, TX, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ECI Software Solutions, Inc. (“ECI”), a leader in AI-powered, cloud-based business management software and services, has acquired Sierra Data Systems (“Sierra”), a provider of construction and logistics software that connects back-office and field operations. As trade contractors working for production homebuilders grow, so does the complexity of running their business. More projects mean more moving pieces to track, and without clear visibility from the field to the back office, small losses can go unnoticed until they've multiplied across a high volume of work, quietly eating into margins long before anyone realizes it. Sierra was built to close that gap, giving contractors a clear, early read on job performance instead of a surprise at the end.

The acquisition strengthens ECI's existing relationship with Sierra and accelerates innovation, investment, and customer support for residential trade contractors. Together, ECI and Sierra will give growing contractors greater visibility across their operations, from estimating and purchasing through inventory management and cost tracking.

“Sierra’s solution is truly unique in the residential construction market. It’s the first tool of its kind built for production trade contractors that actually thinks like a home builder,” said Ron Books, CEO of ECI Software Solutions. “That matters more than people realize. When trade contractors have technology that understands the business the way a builder does regarding models and options, it changes how they show up for their builder customers. It strengthens the relationship, not just the reporting. Bringing Sierra’s technology and team fully into ECI means we can improve what we have already provided to customers and put that kind of purpose-built thinking in front of even more trade businesses.”

“Joining ECI gives us the scale, resources and reach to keep advancing our technology and bring it to more trade contractors in the residential construction market,” said Keith Schneider, CEO at Sierra Data Systems. “We built our product around the way trades actually work with homebuilders, and that focus won't change. It just means more firepower behind it.”

Sierra customers can expect continued support for the technology they rely on today, backed by ECI’s investment in ongoing product development and innovation.
