Descartes Systems Group, the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that it has acquired Sellercloud, a leading provider of omnichannel ecommerce solutions.
Based in the US, Sellercloud supports small and mid-market retailers, distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers with multi-channel ecommerce operations. Sellercloud’s Inventory Management Solutions and Order Management Solutions (IMS/OMS) help customers synchronize, plan and manage inventory levels across multiple sales channels. In addition, Sellercloud helps product sellers orchestrate the fulfillment process from routing orders to the right warehouse to enabling warehouse staff to better manage order picking, packing, shipping, and returns.
“Our integrated ecommerce solutions are designed to help product sellers through all phases of their growth, from a single product startup to a global multi-channel enterprise,” said Mikel Richardson, General Manager of ecommerce at Descartes. “Sellercloud expands our product suite with advanced inventory and order management capabilities that our customers have been asking for. When combined with Descartes’ existing ecommerce shipping, fulfilment and warehouse management solutions, we believe the result is a truly differentiated offering to manage the full lifecycle of domestic and cross-border ecommerce shipments.”

“We continue to listen to our customers for key areas of investment in our Global Logistics Network,” said Edward J. Ryan, Descartes’ CEO. “Sellercloud directly complements our ecommerce investments in XPS, ShipRush, pixi, and Peoplevox, and we’re excited to welcome the Sellercloud employees, customers and partners into the Descartes family.”
Sellercloud is headquartered in New Jersey. Descartes acquired Sellercloud for up-front consideration of approximately US $110 million satisfied from cash on hand, plus additional potential performance-based consideration. The maximum amount payable under the all-cash performance-based earn-out is US $20 million, based on the combined business achieving revenue-based targets in each of the first two years post-acquisition. Any earn-out is expected to be paid in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027.
