Logistics technology company Descartes Systems Group today acquired Exentra Transport Solutions, a U.K.-based provider of software as a service in the European Union.
Exentra’s cloud-based compliance management platform, Smartanalysis, helps customers leverage data from a vehicle’s tachograph, a device that automatically records speed and distance, to comply with EU legislation governing driver compliance.
Exentra’s experience strengthens Descartes’ routing, mobile and telematics group to address the U.S. regulatory environment, while the combined services immediately improve route planning for logistics businesses in the U.K., according to Steve Fisher, CEO of Exentra and director of compliance at Descartes.
