VGL GROUP

What VGL GROUP does

VGL GROUP is a Polish freight forwarding and logistics operator headquartered in Gdynia, Poland, founded in 2000, operating across 50 global locations. Its operating subsidiary Ligentia Group delivers end-to-end supply chain management services spanning maritime, air, road, and rail transport, contract logistics, customs clearance, eCommerce logistics, value-added services, and project logistics. The group employs 1,300+ supply chain experts and serves enterprise and mid-market clients across the retail, fashion, medical/healthcare, industrial/manufacturing, and food & beverage verticals — with named enterprise clients including Pepco, Leroy Merlin, Esotiq, Bell, and Synthos.

The company's core technology asset is the proprietary Ligentix platform, a supply chain management platform with patented real-time visibility technology and AI-powered predictive analytics, supported by a Customer Hub client portal, a Supplier Portal, and a supply chain data analytics module. The platform manages over 1 million orders annually, providing real-time tracking, predictive delay forecasting, and data-driven decision support. A registered patent protects the real-time visibility technology.

VGL GROUP monetizes through managed-service fees for end-to-end supply chain execution and, increasingly, through the Ligentix technology platform (subscription/recurring model). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with self-service digital channels (Ligentix portal, Customer Hub). The company is backed by growth-equity investor 21 Invest (2018 funding round) and has joined Asyad Group to broaden global reach, market access, transport modes, and technology development.
