ECI Software Solutions has notified all U.S. and Canadian Macola resellers their contracts will expire. It’s clear ECI, which owns Macola, is dropping many domestic resellers, but is not clear yet what will take their place.

The Exact Group is spinning off its manufacturing software operations in the United States. Macola, JobBoss and Max will end up under the ownership of ECi Software Solutions of Fort Worth, Texas. Terms were not disclosed. Exact, based in the Netherlands, will continue to sell its Globe, Synergy and Exact Online software in this country.
