Chris Jones is Executive Vice President, Marketing and Services at Descartes
We’ve all been there – buying furniture, home appliances, or that new flat screen TV, when the taxing moment comes to schedule the delivery appointment for our purchase. Whether shopping at a store or online, more often than not, we’re presented with limited delivery options such as half-day time slots for the morning or afternoon or the ever dreaded, “We’ll call you the day before and confirm the time your goods will arrive...”
On March 21, we announced that our valued customer, Ferguson, implemented our cloud-based MobileLink solution. 
As many of you know, we hold a User Group conference each year to showcase our latest technology as well as provide an opportunity for customers and partners to network. Over the last several years, we have given out our Excellence and Innovation Awards that recognize our customers and partners that have demonstrated and achieved great results, have successfully launched transformational initiatives for their business and/or use Descartes’ solutions in innovative ways.
We wrapped up our annual Global User and Partner Conference last week, and by all accounts, it was a great success. Last week, a record number of customers and partners, from around the world, converged at the W Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale for Descartes’ Global User and Partner Conference. By all accounts it was an incredible success and great opportunity for our community to network, learn and interact with our most significant and important technology advances.
