Ecount Co., Ltd, a South Korean provider of cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, announced Monday that its proprietary software Ecount surpassed 80,000 paying corporate clients as of December 2024. Based on current growth trends, the company expects to reach 100,000 clients by 2027.
Debuted in 1999, the software was designed to serve small and medium-sized enterprises — a stark contrast to the prevailing ERP market at the time, which largely catered to large corporations using costly on-premise systems.
By offering a Software as a Service model with an all-in-one platform, Ecount lowered the entry barrier for smaller firms. Core business functions — including inventory, production, accounting, sales, purchasing and payroll — are integrated into a single system accessible via a web browser. The pricing has remained steady at $55 per month since its inception, helping minimize the financial burden for SMEs.
Ecount’s user base has grown steadily — from 1,000 in 2006 to 10,000 in 2011, 40,000 in 2019, and now over 80,000. Company representatives attribute this success to the platform’s affordability and ability to meet SMEs’ practical needs.
International expansion has also fueled growth. Since 2007, Ecount Co., Ltd has established eight overseas subsidiaries, with locations in Thailand, the Philippines and Taiwan posting annual growth rates exceeding 30 percent. The company plans to launch its ninth global office in Uzbekistan in the second half of 2025.
