Descartes Systems Group, a Canadian multinational technology company specializing in logistics software, completed the acquisition of Portrix Logistics Software, a provider of multimodal rate management solutions for logistics services providers, for $27m. “LSPs that don’t increase their investments in this part of their business risk struggling with higher costs to serve and an inferior customer experience. Our investment in Portrix, combined with our recent investments in Kontainers and QuestaWeb, allows us to offer a truly differentiated end-to-end product for LSPs looking to digitize their operations with a pre-integrated solution. Our best-of-breed rate management and online booking tools can also help customers looking to enhance their operations while preserving investments in their existing back-office systems,” Edward J. Ryan, Descartes’ CEO.
