Descartes acquires InterCommIT

   Descartes Systems Group said Wednesday it has acquired InterCommIT, a Dutch provider of business-to-business integration-as-a-service.
   InterCommIT enables electronic data interchange between 800 customers. Descartes said it will be able to add InterCommIT’s services to its logistics platform, while InterCommIT customers will have access to the 35,000 users of Descartes’ system.
   “By adding InterCommIT’s technology and services to our Logistics Technology Platform, our customers have access to a broader scale and scope of document-critical functionalities that are key to efficient supply chain and logistics operations,” said Edward Ryan, Chief Commercial Officer at Descartes. “In particular, InterCommIT expands Descartes’ network capabilities, enhances our logistics application footprint in Web EDI, e-invoicing, e-document, and e-catalogue solutions, and adds a large number of European retailers and suppliers to our logistics community.”
   The acquisition price was $13.8 million, Descartes said.
