Descartes Systems Group
The Descartes Systems Group is a global logistics and supply chain software company whose cloud-based Global Logistics Network connects manufacturers, distributors, carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders. Descartes delivers its capabilities across a large family of products - real-time freight visibility and carrier sourcing (Descartes MacroPoint), customs and regulatory compliance and trade content (Descartes CustomsInfo, NetCHB), global trade intelligence (Descartes Datamyne), routing and mobile, and B2B connectivity and messaging. Descartes exposes APIs on a per-product basis: the MacroPoint visibility, capacity, and carrier integration APIs are publicly documented (customer credentials required), while trade content, trade data, and B2B connectivity APIs are provisioned through the Descartes API portal or a sales/contract engagement. Most API access is customer/partner-gated rather than open self-service signup.
Descartes Systems Group publishes 13 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including 3rd Party TMS Integration API, API - XML API, Carrier Data Connection and Communication API, and 10 more. Tagged areas include Logistics, Supply Chain, Freight Visibility, Shipment Tracking, and Customs Compliance.
The Descartes Systems Group catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Descartes Systems Group’s developer surface includes pricing, authentication, getting-started guide, documentation, engineering blog, support, and 23 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
