Supply chain software vendor Descartes Systems Group today said it has paid $30 million to acquire Drivin, a provider of last-mile delivery management solutions across Latin America, in a deal that marks Ontario-based Descartes’ 33rd acquisition since 2017 and its third in 2026.
According to Descartes, Santiago, Chile-based Drivin enables distributors, retailers, consumer goods companies, and logistics service providers to improve delivery performance with advanced route optimization, dispatch management, and real-time execution visibility, enhanced by machine learning and agentic AI capabilities. The platform is widely adopted in high-density urban environments where logistics complexity and service expectations continue to increase.
“Latin America represents a growth market for Descartes and for the broader logistics technology industry,” said Edward J. Ryan, Descartes’ CEO. “Drivin complements our existing fleet performance management offering, expands our reach in Latin America, and adds experienced leadership and deep domain expertise to help accelerate innovation, adoption and customer success across the Descartes Global Logistics Network.”
Descartes bought Drivin for up-front consideration of $30 million, with a potential additional bonus payment of up to $5 million, based on the combined business achieving revenue-based targets in the first two years post-acquisition.
