Softshare offers three versions of Softshare ECS: ECS Lite, ECS Standard, and ECS Enterprise. ECS Standard is Softshare's most popular version of ECS and is capable of automating your e-commerce operations.

ECS Lite is the entry-level version of ECS. Its features are more modest than ECS Standard's, but still robust enough to handle most basic e-commerce integration scenarios. ECS Enterprise, on the other hand, is the premier version of ECS and is intended for the hosting of trading partner communities.
