Descartes Buys QuestaWeb for $36 Million

Descartes Systems acquired QuestaWeb, Descartes said in a March 1 news release. Descartes said paid about $36 million with cash on hand for the company, a trade management software company and ACE developer. “In today’s complex and dynamic regulatory environment, technology is crucial to ensure that supply chains are compliant and efficient at each step along the way,” said Ken Wood, executive vice president-product management at Descartes. “The addition of QuestaWeb’s FTZ solution brings an important capability to our Global Logistics Network and will help our customers manage the entire foreign-trade zone process, allowing them to minimize duties, fees and taxes while remaining compliant with CBP regulations.” Descartes has made several acquisitions in recent years (see 1901280021 and 1612280024).
