Descartes Acquires Sellercloud
October 14 2024 - 7:00AM
Descartes Systems Group (TSX:DSG) (Nasdaq:DSGX), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that it has acquired Sellercloud, a leading provider of omnichannel
ecommerce solutions.
Based in the US, Sellercloud supports small and
mid-market retailers, distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers
with multi-channel ecommerce operations. Sellercloud’s Inventory
Management Solutions and Order Management Solutions (IMS/OMS) help
customers synchronize, plan and manage inventory levels across
multiple sales channels. In addition, Sellercloud helps product
sellers orchestrate the fulfillment process from routing orders to
the right warehouse to enabling warehouse staff to better manage
order picking, packing, shipping, and returns.
“Our integrated ecommerce solutions are designed
to help product sellers through all phases of their growth, from a
single product startup to a global multi-channel enterprise,” said
Mikel Richardson, General Manager of ecommerce at Descartes.
“Sellercloud expands our product suite with advanced inventory and
order management capabilities that our customers have been asking
for. When combined with Descartes’ existing ecommerce shipping,
fulfilment and warehouse management solutions, we believe the
result is a truly differentiated offering to manage the full
lifecycle of domestic and cross-border ecommerce shipments.”
“We continue to listen to our customers for key
areas of investment in our Global Logistics Network,” said Edward
J. Ryan, Descartes’ CEO. “Sellercloud directly complements our
ecommerce investments in XPS, ShipRush, pixi, and Peoplevox, and
we’re excited to welcome the Sellercloud employees, customers and
partners into the Descartes family.”
Sellercloud is headquartered in New Jersey.
Descartes acquired Sellercloud for up-front consideration of
approximately US $110 million satisfied from cash on hand, plus
additional potential performance-based consideration. The maximum
amount payable under the all-cash performance-based earn-out is US
$20 million, based on the combined business achieving revenue-based
targets in each of the first two years post-acquisition. Any
earn-out is expected to be paid in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027.
