Company Vision

Descartes is poised to embrace and lead the real-time supply chain market.

As technology continues to move forward, distribution-sensitive companies are seeking out end-to-end solutions for real-time control of their supply chain activities. As a result, Descartes believes the traditional worlds of supply chain execution, mobile resource management and business document exchange are colliding, and that Descartes, with strength and capabilities in these areas, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.

Helping us to develop and support our solutions is the Global Logistics Network™, which enables Descartes to act upon the real-time supply chain opportunity by offering solutions that go well beyond traditional point applications. The GLN is the foundation or architecture upon which our newer product suites operate, enabling us to combine applications and offer end-to-end enterprise solutions.
