Here is what FAM Funds has to say about The Descartes Systems Group Inc in their investor letter:
“As the market retreated, our first new idea was Descartes Systems (DSGX). DSGX offers a variety of software products for logistics companies across the globe for tasks like tracking packages, routing trucks, and complying with a litany of customs regulations. We studied DSGX for a few years, but this was the first time the stock price was reasonably priced in our view. Since our purchase, DSGX has reported solid results. While revenues from some clients (such as airlines that carry freight below passengers) dropped, others (like retailers needing software to implement more home deliveries) stepped up their purchases.”
