What LTS Global Solutions does

LTS Global Solutions is a privately-held UK third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Coleshill, Birmingham, operating for over 25 years from a BRCGS-certified facility. The company delivers end-to-end supply chain services across three integrated pillars: Logistics (warehousing, e-commerce fulfillment, 3PL contract distribution, quality control and relabelling), Transport (full/part load, contract distribution, high-security distribution, pallet network, same-day delivery), and Shipping (ocean, air, European road, rail, courier, and a dedicated LTS Express product). It serves a diversified base of enterprise and SMB customers in e-commerce/Amazon FBA, food and beverage, health and wellness, manufacturing, and import/export, with named clients including DHL Automotive, Staircraft, Toyo Tyres, Riedel Glass, and Overflow Events.

The technology backbone is built on the Access Delta and Mint Soft platforms, providing multi-channel fulfillment software integrated with over 20 marketplaces and e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Amazon, eBay, WooCommerce, Wayfair, Argos, Mirakl, OnBuy, among others), real-time order and inventory tracking portals, GPS-based 24/7 vehicle monitoring, and barcode scanning for warehouse operations. Certifications span ISO 9001/14001/27001/45001/50001, BRCGS Storage and Distribution, Cyber Essentials, DVSA Earned Recognition, HMRC Fulfilment House Due Diligence Scheme approval, Ecovadis, and Planet Mark, with memberships in RHA, BIFA, UKWA, FIATA, and FORS.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee freight forwarding (ocean, air, road, rail), recurring warehousing and storage charges, per-order e-commerce fulfillment fees, and managed-services contract distribution with bespoke, quote-based pricing. The company operates its own fleet in the UK and Europe, extends reach through channel partnerships with The Pallet Network (TPN, 140+ UK depots via Culina Group) and DF Alliance for international coverage, and uses DHL, UPS, FedEx, and TNT for courier services. International offices in Hong Kong (Far East HQ, opened 2024), India, and Dubai support cross-border trade flows into and out of the UK.
