Overview Descartes Systems
About Descartes Systems
Descartes pixi is an e-commerce-specialised warehouse management system (WMS) from Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX, TSX: DSG), the world's leading provider of logistics and supply chain software. pixi is part of Descartes' E-Commerce Business Unit, which also includes the WMS solutions Peoplevox, Sellercloud, ShipRush, and XPS. Descartes pixi is a PlentyONE Premium Partner, a Shopware Gold Partner, and a DHL partner.
The platform serves D2C and B2C merchants with their own warehouse from three to five employees, growth-oriented businesses processing approximately 300 or more orders per day, and companies that have outgrown entry-level solutions. Implementation typically takes six to twelve weeks. pixi is cloud-based and designed for seasonal peaks, product launches, and sales events.
The PlentyONE integration connects pixi directly with PlentyONE as a multichannel and ERP system, enabling bidirectional synchronization of order, inventory, and shipping data in real time.
