June 4, 2010 (FinancialWire) (Go to http://www.financialwire.net/?s=ftrdnwswnd for all of today’s featured news.) — Descartes Systems Group (TSX: DSG) (NASDAQ: DSGX) has brought out its Mobile Resource Management 2.0 initiative to combine real-time planning with wireless mobile technology to manage resources in motion.

Descartes said the advanced technology includes functionality that spans from optimized planning to dispatch and automated vehicle location, integrated with mobile technology that allows it to be used to manage private and dedicated fleets, sales forces, merchandisers and other types of mobile workers.

"The traditional market view has been that route planning and MRM were two separate technologies and markets, with neither technology set designed with the other set in mind," said Chris Jones, executive vice president, solutions and services at Descartes. "This created two significant problems for customers. First, the architecture of the two technologies sets only allowed for simple, non-real-time integration because route planning solutions were batch-based and MRM solution interfaces used historically-oriented performance data. Second, integration of the technologies was left to the customer, resulting in potentially costly, time-consuming and fragile implementations that had limited value."

Descartes Resources in Motion Management Systems (RiMMS) initiative combines route planning and MRM technologies into a single technology it calls "MRM 2.0."

"We believe that the days of simply bolting together disparate route planning and MRM technologies are over," said Art Mesher, Descartes' CEO.

Descartes provides messaging services between logistics trading partners, shipment management services to help manage third party carriers, global customs filing and compliance services to meet regulatory requirements and private fleet management services.
