DSG Descartes Systems Group Inc

Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Defense Trade Solutions (DTS), a leading provider of export compliance and global trade services for the defense industry, is using the Descartes GlobalEASE solution to streamline and automate export compliance requirements for its clients. This furthers DTS’ mission to simplify and enable access to responsible and effective trade across the defense industry. DTS is using Descartes GlobalEASE with its managed services clients, helping them to realize reduced compliance costs and greater confidence in meeting global regulatory requirements, such as International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR).

“This marks a major step forward in our commitment to streamlining export compliance for the U.S. defense industry,” said Steven A. Casazza, President of DTS. “By integrating Descartes GlobalEASE into our managed service delivery model, we are providing defense contractors with cutting-edge automation to navigate the complexities of ITAR and EAR with greater speed and accuracy. This technology enhances compliance workflows, accelerates export approvals, and helps minimize risk—so that our clients can focus on delivering critical defense solutions to U.S. allies without delays.”

Used by blue-chip, multinational organizations around the world to stay current in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, Descartes GlobalEASE is a web-based, centralized global trade management platform that helps manage end-to-end trade compliance—from complex licensing and documentation requirements to OFAC and EAR regulations—and provides the necessary visibility and governance to help mitigate risk and avoid penalties while powering critical business decisions with real-time information.

“We’re pleased our solution is helping DTS support the unique needs of the defense industry and set a new standard for efficiency and accountability in its export compliance operations,” said Brian Hodgson, General Manager, Trade Compliance at Descartes. “With the potential for increased tariffs and trade barriers, rapidly shifting regulatory policies, and ongoing geopolitical instability making it more difficult to move and source goods, Descartes’ global trade intelligence solutions help organizations better navigate today’s complex trade landscape.”
