Ecotrak provides a platform designed to simplify and optimize facilities management for multi-site businesses, such as restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, and retail chains.[1][2]

History

edit

Ecotrak was founded in 2018 by by Mike Snyder, David Bennett, and Erich Munzner to address the need for an asset-first facilities management platform that could meet the challenges of managing facilities across multiple locations. The company has grown rapidly, attracting a diverse client base including major brands like Inspire Brands, Flynn Group, Dutch Bros Coffee, and Dave & Buster’s.[3]

In April 2024, Ecotrak raised $30 million in a funding round led by Respida Capital, with additional investments from Carver Road Capital and Gala Capital Partners. This funding is being used to accelerate product development and expand the company's market presence.[4]

In 2024, Ecotrak launched a new service provider directory aimed at improving service efficiency and transparency in facilities management.[5]

Ecotrak has also enhanced its inventory and facilities management capabilities by implementing a new computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). This system improves technician dispatch and inventory tracking, making it easier for multi-site businesses to manage their assets efficiently.[6]

Additionally, Ecotrak has deployed tiny wireless sensors to enhance food safety for retailers. These sensors monitor environmental conditions in real-time, helping businesses maintain food safety standards and comply with regulations.[7]

Ecotrak's platform has also played a role in supporting the growth of businesses like Mendocino Farms, a fast-casual restaurant chain. According to the company, Ecotrak's solutions have been instrumental in helping Mendocino Farms streamline their facilities management processes as they expanded across multiple locations.[8]
