Higharc and ECI Launch Integration for Production Homebuilders
What happened
Higharc and ECI Software Solutions released a generally available integration that connects Higharc’s 3D home design platform with ECI’s MarkSystems ERP. This integration is designed to reduce manual data entry and tighten the link between what is sold and what is built. New Home Inc., a builder in the Carolinas, has already deployed the connection across its sales and construction operations.

Why it matters
For production builders, transferring a home from sales to construction typically requires rekeying pricing and configurations across multiple departments. This process can cause discrepancies between contracts and construction, potentially leading to margin erosion, delays, and rework. The integration allows information to flow between the two platforms instead of relying on manual handoffs.
