What Cargus does

Cargus S.R.L. is a privately held Romanian courier company, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Bucharest, that operates one of the country's largest parcel delivery and last-mile logistics platforms. The company is owned by Mid Europa Partners (since 2019) and is currently pending sale to competitor Sameday, subject to regulatory approval. Cargus operates a hybrid physical-digital model combining door-to-door courier services with the SHIP & GO out-of-home delivery network — over 2,100 pickup/drop-off points at retail partner locations (Agroland, Froo Romania) and Cargus-owned lockers, serving 13,600+ Romanian localities with 98% of parcels delivered within 24-48 hours and 90%+ next-day delivery rates. Limited international services extend to Bulgaria and Greece.

The underlying technology stack comprises WebExpress (cloud-based shipment management portal), the Cargus Mobile App (2.1M+ downloads, iOS/Android/Huawei), the Cargus Smart Hub software ecosystem, and API V3 with 50+ pre-built e-commerce integrations (PrestaShop, WordPress, OpenCart, Magento, QeOPS WMS). A separate eCommerce fulfillment service, operated in partnership with QeOPS, provides 15,000 sqm of warehousing near Bucharest, processing 1,500 products/hour with same-day shipping for orders received before 19:30. Cargus reports 50,000+ business customers and 20,000+ subscription customers.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-shipment transaction fees (e.g., 11.5 LEI for SHIP & GO small parcels), prepaid package bundles (Sign & Go, 10/20/50 shipments valid 6-12 months), monthly Pay-as-You-Go subscriptions (starting 19.05-20.33 RON/shipment), and enterprise contract pricing for 200+ shipments/month customers. Additional revenue streams include value-added services (cash-on-delivery, declared value, Saturday/early delivery, returns handling) and QeOPS fulfillment services. The go-to-market combines product-led growth (SHIP & GO, mobile app, self-service web portal) for consumers and SMBs with enterprise field sales and API-first integration for larger merchants. Reported financial performance shows 16.5% revenue growth and 54.4% EBITDA growth in early 2026 (Jan-Apr vs prior-year period).
