Logistics firm Descartes acquired Sellercloud this month for $110 million with additional potential performance-based consideration of up to $20 million. This adds to Descartes’ portfolio, which includes shipping solution ShipRush, acquired in 2017.
Sellercloud supports small and mid-market online sellers, helping them manage inventory across multiple sales channels and manage the fulfillment process, from routing orders to the right warehouse to enabling warehouse staff to better manage order picking, packing, shipping, and returns.
Sellercloud directly complements Descartes’ ecommerce investments in XPS, ShipRush, pixi, and Peoplevox, according to Descartes CEO Edward Ryan.
Mikel Richardson, General Manager of ecommerce at Descartes, said the Sellercloud acquisition will expand Descartes’ product suite with advanced inventory and order management capabilities that 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.”
The full announcement is available on the Descartes website.
