Descartes Localz, known for its slogan "Increasing customer engagement and first-time access for field service, collection and delivery organisations," operates at the intersection of E-Commerce, Logistics, and Payments. Initially founded in 2013 in Australia, the company was recently acquired by Descartes Systems Group, a global leader in logistics solutions. This acquisition aligns with Descartes' goals to enhance productivity, security, and sustainability in logistics-intensive businesses.
Prior to its acquisition, Descartes Localz secured a £3.60M Series A investment on 13 September 2017, backed by prominent investors Notion Capital and GeoPost. The company specialized in optimizing last-mile delivery experiences, significantly improving customer engagement for businesses reliant on field services.
This acquisition paves the way for Descartes to further solidify its foothold in the logistics software-as-a-service market, leveraging Localz's innovative delivery optimization capabilities to expand its comprehensive suite of logistics solutions globally.
