TORONTO – Logistics software company Descartes Systems Group has acquired Extensiv, a U.S. provider of warehouse management and fulfilment software, for US$120 million.

Scott Sangster, general manager, logistics services providers at Descartes, says the combination will enable companies to expand their offerings and grow operations with a single technology provider.

The acquisition follows a deal by Descartes announced last month to buy Tai Software for about US$100 million.

California-based Tai provides AI-powered transportation management services for freight brokers.
