PackageRoute Joins Descartes to Deliver Even Greater Value to Our Customers

Read Press Release
About Descartes

We’re excited to share that PackageRoute is now part of the Descartes Systems Group, a global leader in logistics technology. This milestone brings expanded resources, innovation, and reach — enhancing our ability to serve customers and partners across the supply chain.

GroundCloud is the New PackageRoute

As a part of the acquisition process, Descartes is sunsetting the PackageRoute application in favor of an already-existing, more capable alternative offered at a similar price point: Descartes GroundCloud.

As a result, we are not onboarding any new customers onto the PackageRoute application.

Introducing Descartes GroundCloud

GroundCloud provides automated compliance, route navigation, driver safety training, and video event data recording (VEDR) for final mile delivery fleets. Unlike other vendors, GroundCloud automates key compliance tasks — removing the need for email follow-ups — and provides a unified solution for safety, navigation, and operational efficiency.

  • Automated Compliance: Safety training and VEDR integrated into one platform.
  • Driver Accountability: Training and Vehicle Inspections must be completed before route info is unlocked.
  • Flexible Pricing: no contracts required.
  • VEDR Bundling: Powerful video and safety data in a single, affordable solution.
