What Herschel's shipping rollout really says about the Descartes Systems Group Narrative

For the bull case, Herschel's experience shows what the Narrative describes, a customer running almost all shipments through a single Descartes workflow and finding cheaper parcel versus LTL choices using live carrier data.
