Windsor, England, United Kingdom – July 24, 2024 —

BoxTop Technologies Ltd, a shipment management solutions provider that specializes in working with logistics service providers (LSPs), has announced that it has just been acquired by Descartes Systems Group (TSX:DSG) (Nasdaq:DSGX), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce.

BoxTop is a UK-based firm that has helped LSPs utilize computer-aided management solutions that can help them manage the complexities of the freight industry. With the help of BoxTop’s management platform, LSPs are able to ensure security and efficiency in logistics, including routing, booking, and delivery. BoxTop has previously worked with Descartes as a partner, using the Descartes Global Logistics Network (“GLN”) to provide their clients with more insight into shipments across differing transportation and shipment models, with support for electronic customs filings.

Descartes, which has now acquired BoxTop, is a logistics platform provider that offers a range of solutions, including routing, mobile & telematics, customs & regulatory compliance, transportation management, and other services. With Cloud-based logistics and supply chain solutions, they empower LSPs with access to greater insights and more precise decision-making for both employees and customers. With their acquisition of BoxTop, the suite of tools their platform offers is able to grow exponentially.

“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 of 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.
