What DG does

Pro Carrier LTD, operating under the DG / wearedg.com brand, is a privately held UK-based international freight forwarder and logistics provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Billericay, England. The company serves global brands and online retailers with four core service lines: Freight forwarding (sea, air, road, and multimodal transport), eCommerce cross-border delivery, international returns management, and retail delivery with eCommerce-level precision. Revenue is generated primarily through per-shipment transaction fees across these service lines, supplemented by recurring access to the proprietary Horizon platform. Pro Carrier employs 51–100 people and claims a global operational footprint spanning Europe (with documented presence in the UK, Netherlands, and Norway) and beyond via a network of third-party final-mile delivery partners. Customers include enterprise brands such as Furniture World, with mid-market and scale-up eCommerce businesses reached through a self-service portal.

The company's central technology asset is the Horizon platform — an intuitive, fully-brandable supply chain visibility system that consolidates freight data, parcel tracking, invoicing, customs documentation, validation & screening, and analytics/reporting. Horizon is offered both as an integrated layer across Pro Carrier's service lines and as a self-service tool enabling customers to book haulage and analyze shipping processes independently. The platform is modular, with dedicated Horizon modules for Freight, eCommerce, Returns, Tracking, Data, Invoicing, Documentation, Validation & Screening, and Reports. Pro Carrier differentiates through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales engagement with self-service PLG capabilities, supported by a content-driven marketing strategy (insights, country guides, case studies, service alerts). The company holds ISO 9001, IATA, BIFA, and AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certifications, lending regulatory credibility in customs and international freight, and was recognized on the Growth Index Top 100 League Table in 2023.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• DHL eCommerce: DHL's cross-border eCommerce division offers international parcel delivery, returns, and customs clearance for online retailers — overlapping directly with Pro Carrier's eCommerce and Returns service lines, but backed by vastly greater scale and owned assets.
• FedEx Cross Border: FedEx Cross Border provides international shipping, tracking, returns, and customs solutions for eCommerce merchants globally — directly comparable to Pro Carrier's platform-enabled cross-border delivery and returns offering, with a much larger owned network.
• UPS (United Parcel Service): UPS provides global parcel, freight, and supply chain solutions including cross-border eCommerce services and customs clearance — comparable end-to-end scope to Pro Carrier, but with owned global infrastructure and substantially larger scale.

Direct peers

• Shippo: Shippo provides a shipping API and dashboard giving SMB and mid-market eCommerce merchants access to discounted carrier rates, label printing, and tracking — competing with Pro Carrier's Horizon for the same cross-border eCommerce shipper segment.
• EasyPost: EasyPost offers a multi-carrier shipping API with tracking, insurance, and verification services for eCommerce shippers — comparable to Pro Carrier's Horizon platform in delivering integrated cross-border shipping technology to retailers.
• ParcelPerform: ParcelPerform is a delivery experience platform offering tracking, returns, and analytics for cross-border eCommerce parcels — directly competing with Pro Carrier's Horizon tracking, documentation, and returns modules.
• ShipBob: ShipBob provides cross-border fulfillment and shipping for eCommerce brands with proprietary technology and distributed warehouses — closely aligned with Pro Carrier's eCommerce delivery and retail fulfillment positioning, though more asset-heavy.
• Flexport: Flexport is a technology-driven global freight forwarder offering ocean, air, and road forwarding with a proprietary visibility platform — directly comparable to Pro Carrier's Horizon-enabled freight forwarding model for enterprise shippers.

Emerging players

• Freightos: Freightos operates a digital freight marketplace and booking platform for international ocean and air freight — adjacent to Pro Carrier's freight forwarding business, with similar platform-led market positioning but marketplace rather than managed services.

Regional players

• Allport Cargo Services: Allport Cargo Services is a UK-headquartered international freight forwarder offering customs brokerage and cross-border logistics — closely comparable to Pro Carrier's UK base, freight forwarding services, and European operating geographies.
