Broad incumbents

• DSV: Global transport and logistics provider with extensive European road, air, and sea forwarding — overlaps with ID Partners on forwarding/customs but at vastly larger scale.
• Geodis: Global supply chain operator with European contract logistics and forwarding footprint, offering temperature-controlled solutions serving similar shipper needs to ID Partners.
• DHL Global Forwarding: Global forwarding and contract logistics arm of Deutsche Post DHL with strong perishables and customs offerings across European gateways — broad incumbent competing in ID Partners' lanes.
• XPO Logistics: European-focused logistics provider with warehousing and forwarding capabilities that compete for similar import/export flows through Northwestern European ports.
• CEVA Logistics: Global 3PL with contract logistics and forwarding capabilities across Europe, including temperature-controlled offerings comparable to ID Partners' integrated service.

Direct peers
