Descartes Systems Group announced a new contract with Supergasbras, one of Brazil’s largest liquefied petroleum gas distributors. The deal covers Supergasbras’ network of more than 400 trucks and 900 employees, enabling real‑time route optimization for the monthly transport of over 400,000 tons of LPG across the country.
The partnership expands Descartes’ Global Logistics Network in Brazil, adding a high‑volume customer and reinforcing its position in the energy sector. It also opens cross‑sell opportunities for Descartes’ billing integration and other SaaS modules, creating a more comprehensive platform for its clients.
The contract demonstrates Descartes’ ability to scale its cloud‑based fleet‑management platform to complex, high‑volume networks. The solution will automate route planning, reduce stockouts, lower operational costs, and improve delivery reliability, especially in regions with seasonal demand fluctuations.
Descartes has recently completed acquisitions such as MyCarrierPortal and Sellercloud, broadening its service portfolio and customer base. The Supergasbras deal complements these moves by adding a large, geographically dispersed fleet that can benefit from Descartes’ advanced analytics and connectivity.
While the announcement does not include financial results, the addition of a major customer is expected to generate recurring revenue and support Descartes’ growth trajectory. The partnership also strengthens the company’s competitive moat in the logistics‑software market, where connectivity and end‑to‑end visibility are key differentiators.
The contract underscores Descartes’ strategy to deepen penetration in the energy sector, a market that has shown resilience and demand for digital logistics solutions. By integrating with Supergasbras’ billing system, Descartes is positioning itself as a single‑source platform for both operational and financial processes, enhancing customer stickiness.
