Descartes Group Acquires Australian Last-mile Scheduling Platform Localz

Descartes is not just B2B.

They offer a (parcel) Carrier Management System, competing with companies like Metapack, Dematic, GFS, and Shipstation; capabilities include rate shopping, label generation, pre-advise, and manifesting/consignment.

And I think also have a vehicle/slot scheduling system useful for ecommerce (like UK style grocery home delivery–through the door attended in a 1,2, or 4 hour pre-booked slot). The localz purchase makes sense in this context.
