"Our organization has served Latin America for nearly a decade as Roadshow International, which was acquired by Descartes in 1997. "Our Roadshow software has led the market for routing and scheduling in Latin America, and we are looking to further increase efficiencies and logistics network capabilities in that area with our complete DeliveryNet offerings," says Jose Velazquez, director of sales, Latin America.

Descartes Systems Group (NASDAQ:DSGX, TSE:DSG) products are licensed by more than 850 companies worldwide. Recently, Vanda, China's largest systems integrator, and Ship.com, a premier transportation portal, have selected Descartes' technology for their Internet logistics solutions.
