Higharc, a homebuilding platform for plan design, configuration, and product lifecycle management, has announced a strategic partnership with ECI Software Solutions to deliver a complete, out-of-the-box integration with MarkSystems, ECI's leading single-platform ERP for residential homebuilders and developers. The integration directly connects live home design, configuration, and product data in Higharc with the financial and construction workflows managed in MarkSystems.

Why it matters

This partnership aims to remove the friction that slows down homebuilders today by unifying design, configuration, estimating, and construction management into a single, connected workflow. By synchronizing plans, options, pricing, customer records, and buyer selections across both platforms, the integration eliminates manual data entry, reduces rework, and replaces disconnected handoffs with a reliable, streamlined process.

The details

The Higharc-MarkSystems integration allows builders to surface up-to-date prices in Showroom for the homebuyer, then automatically pass finalized decisions back to the ERP for accurate contract pricing. The ERP also captures exactly which options were chosen and at what price, enabling teams to more easily analyze performance and cost data to keep future estimates and margins on track. Unlike point-to-point exports, the integration is a standardized, API-driven solution that is co-developed, co-marketed, and jointly supported by Higharc and ECI, giving builders a durable integration they can rely on as their businesses grow.

  • The Higharc-MarkSystems integration is currently in development and will be generally available to customers later this year, with early phases delivered on an accelerated timeline.
  • Higharc and ECI will introduce and discuss the upcoming MarkSystems integration at the International Builders' Show (IBS) in Orlando, Fla., Feb. 17–19, 2026.
