What DCS does
DCS ApS is a Denmark-based B2B IT distributor founded in 1994 in Trige, north of Aarhus. The company supplies more than 250,000 IT products from brands such as Lenovo, HP, Acer, Dell, MSI, Logitech, and its own private label brands (Havit, AGM, Nordic Accessories, Nordic Gaming), holding 12,500+ SKUs in stock at a 6,500 m2 automated warehouse with a same-day shipping cutoff at 20:20.
The core platform combines a 24/7 B2B webshop with XML/EDI-based electronic ordering, hourly price files, electronic invoicing, and drop shipping in neutral packaging. Customers — primarily IT retailers, webshops, IT companies, IT departments, and physical retailers — integrate directly into DCS systems for automated order, pricing, and RMA flows, with integration set-up achievable in a few hours. A Warehouse Management System implemented in 2020 and an automated warehouse brought online in 2022 underpin the logistics backbone.
DCS generates revenue primarily through hardware and IT product resale with product markups on a 250,000+ SKU catalog, supplemented by drop shipping services, credit/invoice arrangements with approved business customers, and private label brand sales. Distribution is channel-led: self-serve webshop, direct field account management from offices in Aarhus, Silkeborg, and Copenhagen, plus carrier partnerships with PostNord, GLS, DPD, Dachser, and Click & Collect. The company is 100% Danish and privately owned, self-financed with no external funding, and currently owned by Jørgen Pedersen (CEO), Daniel Pedersen (COO), and Thomas Kirkeby (CMO).
