ePOD uses a mobile app that captures customer and delivery information along with associated signatures and images. The chances of errors are mitigated extensively as information and data are transmitted by ePOD in real time.
It forms part of DSGX’s routing, mobile and telematics solutions portfolio and can be integrated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. By integrating with Scott Parnell’s ERP system, Hansa, the delivery solution, should aid in better inventory management and invoicing.
Based in Canada, Descartes provides software-as-a-service logistics solutions to businesses, including transportation and logistics, manufacturing, retail and healthcare.
In the last reported quarter, Descartes' revenues were $151.3 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.9%. The top line grew 11% year over year. Synergies arising from the acquisition of OCR Services and Aerospace Software Developments in the fiscal first quarter, along with healthy momentum in services revenues, led to the expansion. Also, acquisitions settled in fiscal 2024, including GroundCloud and Localz, favorably impacted revenue growth.
At present, DSGX has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Shares have gained 21.1% compared with sub-industry’s growth of 26.4% in the past year.
