Logistyx acquires Dutch transportation software firm

Parcel shipping software vendor Logistyx Technologies said today it has acquired Transparix, a Dutch transportation software provider, and would use the merger to help its customers manage fast growth in their e-commerce operations.

Rolling Meadows, Ill.-based Logistyx was formed in 2017 by the merger of three parcel software providers, in a move to combine the functions of parcel auditing and information technology under a single roof.

Acquiring Transparix, of Alkmaar, The Netherlands, allows Logistyx to further expand its position as a vendor of multi-carrier parcel shipping software, and help its customers ship orders to consumers and businesses across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, Logistyx CEO Geoffrey Finlay said in a statement.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"We see businesses of all sizes experiencing significant e-commerce growth," Finlay said. "Consequently, many are turning to Logistyx to address the increased demand for global fulfillment and the growing volume of parcel shipments they're now delivering directly to B2B and B2C customers."

Logistyx provides inbound receiving, order fulfillment, dimensioning solutions, shipping software, mobile computing, barcoding and radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions for manufacturers, distributors, corporate campuses, e-commerce, online retailers, and third party logistics (3PL) providers, the company says.
