The story
GroundCloud was an independent final-mile logistics SaaS provider serving Independent Service Providers (ISPs) — primarily Amazon DSP and FedEx Ground contractors — with routing, driver safety, compliance, timekeeping, and payroll tools. In February 2023, Descartes Systems Group acquired GroundCloud, folding it into its broader logistics software portfolio and rebranding it as Descartes GroundCloud. The platform continues to expand its all-in-one approach, embedding payroll and timekeeping directly into fleet operations workflows.
