Descartes Systems Group has announced two recent acquisitions.

The goal of omnichannel retailing is to create a seamless and transparent experience for the customer that enhances the retailer's brand. To date, the omnichannel retailing focus has been largely on the selling experience and not how the retailer gets the goods into the customer's hands. However, customers measure the entire shopping experience, including delivery. Omnichannel selling is making retailers responsible for home delivery, whether they like it or not, and last-mile delivery performance is the last word about the retailer in the customer's mind.

Descartes Systems Group has acquired Customs Info LLC, a U.S.-based provider of trade data content to populate global trade management systems and streamline trade automation.

Descartes Systems Group is offering a new optimization application to help retailers and distributors make deliveries on the same day that an order is taken.
