Overview

Ecrio is a leading provider of communications and commerce client software and solutions for service and infrastructure providers, device manufacturers, retailers, consumer packaged goods companies and web portals.

Ecrio’s communication client software and solutions development kits help mobile application developers focus on creating and delivering innovative products and services to a complex marketplace, without worrying about the challenges of the technologies, practices, standards and integration required to make those applications work.

Ecrio’s mobile commerce solutions include the company’s patented MoBeam® technology and the company's MoBeam Key barcode redemption device. The solution, which adheres to the Association of Coupon Professionals’ draft guidelines for digital coupons, provides a comprehensive digital coupon redemption and reconciliation process to enable a digital coupon lifecycle.

Vision

Ecrio Inc. is driven by a simple vision: Consumers and business users deserve access to a broad range of communications and commerce services from their mobile devices - services like those they love on their networked PCs. With the global roll-out of faster (3G etc.) mobile networks, there's simply no excuse for limiting users' access to friends, family, business, interests and social networks.

To that end, Ecrio delivers mobile voice applications such as Push-to-Talk (PoC) and Voice over IP (VoIP); mobile video applications, such as VideoShare; mobile messaging applications, including Instant Messaging and Presence Services (IMPS); and more. The foundation for these applications is Ecrio's standards-based IMS framework, which ensures worldwide interoperability and an upgrade path to future technologies and ‘plug-in' applications.

In the world of mobile commerce, Ecrio focuses on the portability of digital redemption and payments - cutting the user's tether to a fixed PC, laptop and printer. One example is MoBeam^TM. MoBeam takes virtually any barcoded data - tickets, coupons, loyalty and gift cards - and transmits that barcoded sequence into standard point-of-sale laser scanners. Finally - mobile consumers can "close the loop," liberated from home printing and paper copies.
