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

Descartes says the deal for the California-based firm expands its warehouse and inventory management capabilities.

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.
