Güneş Gümrük ve Lojistik Hizmetleri

What Güneş Gümrük ve Lojistik Hizmetleri does

Güneş Gümrük ve Lojistik Hizmetleri Ltd. Şti. is a privately held Turkish customs brokerage and logistics services provider founded in 1999 and headquartered in Ataşehir, Istanbul, with branch offices in Izmir and Kocaeli and additional customs office locations across Turkey's principal trade gateways. The firm delivers end-to-end customs consultancy — covering import/export clearance, transit regimes, customs warehousing, ATA carnets, temporary import procedures, and customs dispute resolution — alongside logistics services that include international and domestic road, air, sea, and intermodal transportation, warehousing, and an outsourced foreign trade department function. It also advises clients on regulatory certifications such as Authorized Economic Operator (YYS/AEO) and Approved Person Status (OKS/APS). The company states it has served over 500 customers, with named enterprise references including INDEX Group and UPM.

The underlying technology stack is a proprietary digital platform suite branded as Web Gümrük (web-based customs monitoring), Cep Gümrük (mobile customs tracking), Entegrasyon (ERP/accounting data integration), Özel Raporlar (custom report generation), Otomatik Mail Sistemi (automated email notifications), and a Blockchain Platform developed in collaboration with the Blockchain Turkey Association (member since 2018). The Entegrasyon layer is positioned as a data-share utility that pipes customs declaration, logistics cost, and accounting data into client systems. Certifications include ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System), both issued by TSE. The firm is a member of TOBB, DEİK, İGMD, AHK, and the Blockchain Turkey Association and operates an Organized Industrial Zones ecosystem partnership program targeting manufacturers.

The business model is enterprise B2B and services-led: customs consultancy and logistics engagements are professional-services contracts priced bespoke per client, while the digital platform suite (Web/Cep Gümrük, Entegrasyon, Özel Raporlar, Otomatik Mail Sistemi) functions as a recurring digital add-on layered on top of those contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led with relationship-based field sales supported by the corporate website and a dedicated customer login portal (webgumruk.com); marketing relies on organic social channels and direct enterprise outreach rather than paid acquisition. Customer segments center on import/export companies, manufacturers in organized industrial zones, and logistics/supply chain firms; no pricing tiers or price points are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Horoz Lojistik: Turkish logistics and freight forwarding group with international transportation, customs services, and contract logistics — comparable mid-market positioning in the Turkish trade services market.
• Omsan Logistics: Turkish integrated logistics provider with customs brokerage, intermodal transport, and warehousing — comparable scope of customs + logistics offerings for Turkish enterprise customers.
• Ekol Logistics: Turkish integrated logistics provider with strong international road freight and customs operations across Europe and MENA — relevant peer for international transportation and customs coverage.

• Mars Logistics: Turkish mid-sized logistics and customs services company with road, sea, and air freight plus customs brokerage — overlap is strong in customs clearance and domestic transport serving industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• DB Schenker: Global logistics provider with integrated customs clearance, contract logistics, and transport services — competes in Turkey for enterprise customs and logistics contracts as part of a broad global portfolio.
