# Descartes Expands with New Development Facility in Quebec

**WATERLOO, Ontario, April 20, 2022**\-\- Descartes
Systems Group, the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in
commerce, announced the opening of a new software development facility in
Sorel-Tracy, QC that will be capable of accommodating up to 100 employees. The
facility is one of four Descartes development facilities located around the
world.

“As a long-standing and growing Canadian technology company,
we’re excited to invest in our new workspace in Sorel-Tracy,” said Yan
Parenteau, VP Mobility Solutions at Descartes. “Descartes has a proven track
record of success in managing innovative software development centers and we’re
pleased to have the support of local government and business communities as we expand
to better serve our customers.”

Research and development efforts at the new facility will
initially focus on Descartes’ fleet performance management solution suite,
the industry’s most comprehensive offering of integrated route planning,
execution, mobile and performance monitoring solutions. Future initiatives include
an even broader range of applications in additional Descartes solutions areas,
such as transportation management, ecommerce operations, global
trade intelligence, customs and regulatory compliance and broker/forwarder
enterprise systems.

Descartes will formally open the new facility in June with a
tour of the operations for representatives from Sorel-Tracy’s local government
and business communities.

“We look forward to building out development operations in
Sorel-Tracy,” said Raimond Diederik, Executive Vice President, Information Services
at Descartes. “This is probably the most exciting time in the history of supply
chain management with strategies, tactics and technologies changing rapidly. As
one of the leading technology companies in this industry, Descartes remains
focused on customer success and our ongoing investments in research and
development help us to continuously innovate for over 24,000 customers worldwide.”
