Pioneering a New Era in
Collaborative Commerce.

We have designed a next generation platform where companies can directly trade their products and services to one another’s audiences. Brands can now collaborate directly with suppliers and value-added operators, providing customers with personalized experiences.
Kognitiv has created new distribution applications designed on the principles of effective commerce:
value discovery,
collaboration,
trade, and
personalization.



Kognitiv was founded in 2009 by Peter Schwartz, formerly Chair and CEO of Descartes Systems Group. He also co-founded Laurence Capital, a private capital firm, and backed entrepreneurial success stories such as Clearpath Robotics, Globalive, Quickplay, Achievers, Symbility, BigRoad and others.
Kognitiv is headquartered in Waterloo, Canada, with over 220 employees – Canada (Waterloo, Mississauga and Toronto), Argentina (Buenos Aires), Austria (Vienna), China (Hong Kong), UK (Bournemouth and Manchester) and United States (Charlottesville).
