Descartes Acquires BoxTop Technologies
2024年6月11日 - 5:30PM
Descartes Systems Group (TSX:DSG) (Nasdaq:DSGX), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that it has acquired BoxTop Technologies Limited (“BoxTop”), a
leading provider of shipment management solutions for small- to
mid-sized logistics services providers (“LSPs”).
Based in the UK, BoxTop helps LSPs digitize
their operations and connect to the wider logistics community to
manage the lifecycle of shipments. LSPs use the BoxTop platform to
manage the secure and efficient movement of goods from quoting
through to routing, booking, and final delivery. BoxTop is an
existing Descartes partner, leveraging the Descartes Global
Logistics Network (“GLN”) to help their clients gain visibility
into shipments across multiple modes of transportation and to
complete electronic customs filings.
“We’ve been working successfully with BoxTop for
a number of years, and this was the next logical step in our
partnership,” said Scott Sangster, General Manager Logistics
Services Providers at Descartes. “BoxTop has an excellent solution
for small- to mid-sized LSPs and we see an opportunity to integrate
it with more solutions on the GLN. This will help us deliver more
value to BoxTop customers and expand the geographic footprint into
more countries in Europe.”
“LSPs will continue to play a vital role in
trade in the global economy,” said Edward J. Ryan, Descartes’ CEO.
“As LSPs continue to digitize their operations, we want to make
sure that small- to mid-size LSPs have access to the same breadth
of solutions to manage the lifecycle of shipments in a secure and
efficient manner. The acquisition of BoxTop puts us in a better
position to deliver even more value to this community. We’re
excited to welcome the BoxTop employees, customers and partners
into the Descartes family.”
BoxTop is headquartered in Windsor, England.
Descartes acquired BoxTop for approximately £10.25 million ($US 13
million), satisfied from cash on hand.
