We’re excited to introduce EYCESoft formerly ECCESoft now fully rebranded and aligned under the trusted Canavan Byrne brand.

As part of our wider Canavan Byrne rebrand, EYCESoft represents more than just a name change. It reflects a stronger, more cohesive vision delivering smarter, more intuitive software and app solutions to Early Years and School Aged Childcare services across Ireland.

Built on everything you already know and trust from ECCESoft, EYCESoft continues to streamline daily operations, reduce administrative burden, and support compliance, while enhancing communication between services and families.
