What Logistically does

Logistically (legal entity: Logistically Worldwide Ltd, registered in England, company number 12132551) is a privately held UK freight forwarding and logistics management firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Billericay, Essex. The company positions itself as an outsourced operating partner for owner-managed businesses and growing SMEs that conduct regular imports, exports, and freight activity but lack dedicated in-house logistics teams. Service delivery is structured around three core offerings: Freight & Execution (sourcing, booking, and managing ocean, air, and road shipments, including rate benchmarking and proactive tracking), Customs & Compliance (import/export declarations via CDS, VAT and duty guidance, commodity code and Incoterms support, and documentation verification), and Embedded Operations (functioning as an outsourced logistics department with dashboards for visibility). These are supported by a catalogue of transport-mode-specific services — LCL, FCL, LTL, FTL, Rail, Road, Sea, Air, and Multimodal/Intermodal forwarding.

The business runs on a professional services revenue model with three engagement structures: a zero-cost initial review, a shared-savings model, a gain-share model, and a management fee model. Pricing remains quote-based, varying by shipment type, destination, size, weight, and seasonality. Technology disclosed is limited to Squarespace CMS for the public website, Google Analytics for traffic analysis, and Active Campaign for email automation — there is no proprietary platform or software product in the offering. The company states an average 35% cost saving for clients engaging its freight review and management services.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: free 15-minute freight review as the entry point, supported by paid social advertising on Facebook and LinkedIn, an email newsletter, and direct contact (phone and email). Markets served are nominally international (Europe, Asia, North America), but operational infrastructure remains UK-based (one registered and one operating office in Billericay). The headcount band is 1-10 employees, there are no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no acquisitions, and no partnerships documented. Founder Mark Woolnough is the sole named leader in the available material.

Core offering

Logistically provides outsourced logistics management for UK-based owner-managed businesses and SMEs that handle regular imports and exports. The company acts as an operating partner rather than a traditional freight forwarder, offering end-to-end freight sourcing, booking, and management across ocean, air, and road transport, customs declarations and compliance support, and embedded logistics operations with modern dashboards for visibility.

Product overview

Logistically is a UK-based freight forwarding and logistics management company operating as an outsourced operating partner for importers, exporters, and growing SMEs. The offering is structured around three core services — Freight & Execution (covering ocean/air/road freight sourcing and booking), Customs & Compliance (handling declarations, VAT, duty, and documentation), and Embedded Operations (acting as a fully outsourced logistics department with dashboards for visibility). These core services are supported by a range of transport-mode-specific shipping services including LCL, FCL, LTL, FTL, Rail Freight, Road Freight, Sea Freight, and Air Shipping, as well as Multimodal and Intermodal Freight Forwarding. The Freight Management layer provides analytical reviews, cost benchmarking, and transparent pricing models (shared savings, gain share, and management fee structures) claiming average cost savings of 35%. The overall product is a bundle of service modules rather than a standalone software platform — it combines human expertise, process frameworks, and technology-enabled dashboards into a unified logistics operating partner.

Direct peers

Emerging players
