Descartes Systems to acquire mobile-solution provider Airclic

Descartes Systems Group has reached agreement to acquire Airclic. Airclic is a provider of mobile solutions. The company offers a cloud-based solution that helps streamline and automate last mile logistics.

Airclic’s Perform platform provides configurable, feature-rich mobile technology and advanced electronic proof-of-delivery (POD) solutions that operate on a hand-held device carried by the driver, Descartes said.

“Demand is steadily growing for robust mobile applications that help customers improve their fleet operations and compete more effectively,” said Andrew Roszko, senior vice president of sales at Descartes. “With deep domain expertise in delivering advanced mobile solutions across key industry verticals and proven solutions operating on more than 40,000 handheld devices, Airclic helps strengthen Descartes’ market-leading Routing, Mobile and Telematics solution portfolio.”

Airclic is headquartered in Trevose, PA. Descartes paid approximately $29.7 million.
