Geis CZ

What Geis CZ does

Geis CZ s.r.o. is the Czech-Slovak operating subsidiary of the Geis Group, a family-owned logistics provider founded in 1945 in Germany and active in the Czech market since 1991. Headquartered in Ejpovice, the company delivers integrated road transport (pallet, piece, full truckload, less-than-truckload), contract logistics and warehousing, air and sea freight forwarding via subsidiary Geis CZ Air + Sea s.r.o., customs services, and packaging materials and export packaging (ISPM 15). With 30+ branches across the Czech Republic and Slovakia and a dense European network spanning 190 group-wide locations, Geis operates the #1 palletized-freight network in the Czech Republic by volume, with group-level throughput above 7.1 million tonnes annually and 1.8 million m² of logistics surfaces.

The business is built on a proprietary technology stack: an in-house Warehouse Management System developed by Geis IT specialists supports FIFO/LIFO/FEFO workflows and KPI-driven service management; the G-Service web API (XML over HTTPS) enables full automation of shipment creation, status retrieval, and collection orders; the GPortal web application provides self-service entry and label printing; and EDI/FTP integration supports high-volume automated data exchange. A two-story automatic parcel sorter at the Modletice hub handles up to 16,000 parcels per hour. The integration footprint extends to leading Czech and Slovak ERP systems (Pohoda, Altus Vario, Helios, K2, Abra, Navision, Money S4/S5, BYZNYS VR) and e-commerce platforms (WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, Webareal, OpenCart, Eshop-rychle, Weby24) via partners such as Balikobot, plus the Geis Point parcel drop-off network (joint venture with Mediaprint & Kapa Pressegrosso).

Geis generates revenue through per-shipment transport pricing (with a transparent diesel-indexed fuel surcharge, currently 9% for July 2026), managed-services fees for warehousing and contract logistics (VMI, assembly, cross-docking, e-commerce fulfillment, value-added services), transaction-based air/sea freight, customs brokerage fees (AEO-C certified), and hardware sales of wooden/cardboard packaging. The company sells primarily through direct B2B field sales and dedicated account managers for enterprise contract logistics, supported by an inside-sales customer service line, a self-serve GPortal for SMBs, and consumer-facing Geis Point drop-off locations. Notable enterprise customers include Husqvarna (Czech central warehouse since 2010) and Siemens Healthcare (Neu-Isenburg WDC since 2007).
