What EC does
EC (六度人和 / Shenzhen Liudu Renhe Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Shenzhen-based, privately held CRM SaaS provider founded in 2008 that builds an AI-driven growth-oriented sales and customer management platform for Chinese enterprises. As of 2024-2026 it serves more than 30,000 enterprise customers concentrated in growth-stage SMEs across education, financial services, enterprise services, manufacturing, healthcare, retail/franchise, and trade/export verticals, with a separate overseas edition targeting Chinese companies expanding into Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia. The product is delivered as a cloud CRM that aggregates leads from WeChat, WeCom, QQ, phone, email, and major ad platforms (Tencent Ads, Douyin, Baidu) into a unified customer record.
The core technology stack is the EC CRM platform, the SIXBOT AI employee platform (four autonomous agents: Opportunity Assistant for lead discovery, Telemarketer for AI-driven outbound calling with voice cloning, Sales Consultant for real-time conversation guidance, and Business Assistant for reporting and analytics), and a fully CLI-ized architecture (completed May 2026) that exposes every business capability to AI agents via a command-line interface. The platform integrates third-party AI (Doubao LLM and Doubao ASR via ByteDance's Volcano Engine) for natural language understanding, summarization, and speech recognition, and ships with a proprietary AI Bluetooth headset (ec pods), an open API (open.workec.com), and an aPaaS workflow customization module.
EC generates revenue primarily through annual per-seat SaaS subscriptions sold in three tiers (Basic ¥588/account/year, Standard ¥788/account/year, and an AI version sold by quote), with a 20-account minimum and additional fees for customization and aPaaS configuration. Go-to-market is a hybrid of self-serve PLG (15-day free trial, online sign-up on scrm.com), enterprise direct sales for larger accounts, and a regional agent/partner network across China, supplemented by industry events, comparison content marketing, and an overseas sales motion in Southeast Asia. EC is venture-backed by Tencent, Yonyou, SAIF Partners, CITIC Securities, Lion Capital, OCBC, HKSTP, and others, and has publicly signaled an intent to pursue an IPO.
