What Ecosio does

Ecosio is a Vienna-headquartered, privately held B2B integration and e-invoicing compliance provider, operating as a subsidiary of Vertex since the 2024 acquisition. The company delivers fully managed EDI and global e-invoicing services to large enterprises, with named customers across retail (Migros, Coop), manufacturing (KUKA, HORSCH, SIGA, Feralpi Stahl), automotive (Fuba), beverage (Ottakringer, Brau Union, Manner), FMCG (Melitta), energy (Westfalen AG), and airport retail (Munich Airport). Its core product set consists of three managed offerings — Global E-invoicing Compliance, EDI as a Service, and Supplier Activation — supported by an Integration Hub cloud platform, the ecosio Flow Web EDI portal for non-EDI suppliers, ecosio Monitor for real-time message visibility, and ecosio Master Data for product and partner information exchange.

The technology stack is a cloud-based integration platform connecting ERP systems (SAP including S/4HANA and IDoc, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, Infor) to global trading-partner networks via standard protocols (AS2, OFTP2, X.400, SFTP) and certified access points (notably OpenPeppol). Ecosio holds ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 certifications, is GDPR-compliant, and cites a team of more than 250 regulatory experts monitoring mandates across 50+ countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia/Oceania and Latin America. The platform reports more than 100 million e-invoices exchanged annually with 99.9% uptime and a 99.9% customer retention rate.

Ecosio monetizes through subscription-based, fully managed service contracts (annual billing cadence, quote-based pricing tied to transaction volumes, country coverage and integration scope), with revenue streams spanning EDI managed services, multi-country e-invoicing compliance subscriptions, and bundled supplier activation. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with expert-led demos, supplemented by SI/channel partners (BE-terna, AFI Solutions, GoPus) and a dedicated SAP partnership, while free tools (XML validator, ROI/savings/risk calculators, provider evaluation toolkit) and content marketing (blog, white papers, webinars, monthly regulatory newsletter) drive top-of-funnel demand. Operational footprint spans offices in Vienna, Munich, London, Paris and Bolzano, alongside a fully remote international team.

These core products are supported by the Integration Hub (API-driven cloud platform), ecosio Flow (Web EDI portal for smaller suppliers), ecosio Monitor (real-time message tracking), and ecosio Master Data (master data communication). The ecosystem also includes free validation and calculator tools (Peppol/XML Validator, ROI Calculator, EDI Savings Calculator, E-invoicing Risk Calculator, Provider Evaluation Toolkit).

Direct peers

• TrueCommerce: Global managed EDI and supply chain integration provider with deep ERP connectors (SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Sage). Competes head-to-head with Ecosio in EDI-as-a-Service for retail, manufacturing, and distribution verticals.
• Pagero: European-headquartered e-invoicing and Peppol Access Point operator focused on global e-invoicing compliance and B2B document exchange. Highly comparable to Ecosio on multi-country mandate coverage and Peppol network participation.
• OpenText (GXS / Trading Grid): One of the largest global EDI and B2B integration platform providers, offering managed EDI services, cloud-based integration, and broad ERP connectivity. Directly competes with Ecosio in enterprise EDI and e-invoicing, particularly for large multi-national customers.
• Basware: Provider of AP automation, e-invoicing, and B2B financial networks, with strong European enterprise presence. Comparable to Ecosio on e-invoicing compliance and ERP integration, though more weighted toward invoice-centric AP workflows.
• Cleo (Cleo Integration Cloud): Cloud-native B2B integration platform for EDI, API, and MFT, serving manufacturers and logistics providers. Comparable to Ecosio on managed EDI and ERP integration, with overlap in supply chain and tier-1 supplier activations.
• Tradeshift: Global B2B e-invoicing and supply chain finance network connecting buyers and suppliers. Comparable to Ecosio in multi-country e-invoicing and Web EDI supplier onboarding, with broader fintech overlays.
• Crossinx (now part of Sovos): European e-invoicing network and Peppol Access Point provider, integrated under tax compliance leader Sovos. Directly comparable to Ecosio on multi-jurisdictional e-invoicing mandate coverage and managed service delivery.

Broad incumbents

• IBM Sterling B2B Integration: Large incumbent providing managed EDI, B2B integration, and supply chain solutions as part of IBM's broader hybrid cloud and supply chain portfolio. Overlaps with Ecosio on enterprise EDI and global compliance, but as one capability in a much wider portfolio.
• SAP Integration Suite / SAP BTP: SAP's cloud integration suite includes EDI mapping, iDoc, and S/4HANA connectivity that overlaps with Ecosio's SAP EDI offering. Represents both a critical partner and the most likely competitive threat as SAP extends native integration capabilities.

Regional players

• SPS Commerce: Leading North American retail-focused EDI network and managed services provider. Comparable in managed EDI and supplier activation model, but primarily serves North American retail and does not match Ecosio's European mandate focus.
