Sumeru Equity Partners has sold 3G to Descartes

3G

Based in the U.S., 3G’s transportation management solutions combine modern cloud architecture, an expansive carrier network and planning-driven automation to help customers improve costs, customer satisfaction and efficiency. Shippers, third-party logistics providers and freight brokers leverage 3G’s platform to optimize over-the-road shipments with tools for planning, rating, consolidation and routing that cover the entire shipment lifecycle.

The Deal

Under Sumeru Equity Partners’ ownership, 3G successfully established itself as an industry-leading provider of transportation management and shipping execution software. Lincoln International acted as financial advisor to Sumeru Equity Partners and 3G, leveraging its expertise and relationships to drive a successful outcome to a strategic buyer.

Our Perspective

“It was a pleasure to work with Sumeru on another successful exit, as well as 3G’s strong management team, over the course of the transaction. We were able to leverage our global expertise in supply chain management software and broader industrial software to help unlock a strategic outcome for 3G in a great home at Descartes,” said Matt Kessler, Managing Director in Lincoln’s Technology Group.
