Global Logistics Services

What Global Logistics Services does

Global Logistics Services Inc is an India-based international freight forwarding company providing air and ocean cargo services between India and worldwide destinations. The company offers door-to-door logistics solutions including LCL (Less than Container Load) and FCL (Full Container Load) ocean freight, air cargo forwarding, and ancillary utilities (currency converter, Incoterms reference, container specifications, world clock). Its technology stack centers on a digital logistics platform with real-time cargo tracking via third-party integrations (Trackload, Concor) and a digital 'OK-to-Load' workflow designed to integrate Liberian government agencies for customs clearance. The corporate website (globallogisticsindia.net) describes itself as a young and aggressive Indian freight forwarder and operates a Code of Conduct framework; the site currently presents as largely static with a 'Coming Soon' landing page.

The company operates a quote-based transaction-fee revenue model, charging per shipment based on commodity, quantity, origin, and destination. Its go-to-market is split between direct-to-consumer self-serve (website quote forms and tracking tools) and enterprise field sales, the latter most visibly through its flagship partnership with APM Terminals Liberia to operate Liberia's first Export Processing Center at the Freeport of Monrovia. The Export Processing Center, inaugurated March 3, 2026, consolidates documentation, EU compliance testing, and cargo handling for Liberian MSMEs seeking access to European markets under the Everything But Arms preferential trade arrangement. The company serves two primary customer segments: India-origin importers and exporters requiring international freight forwarding, and Liberian MSMEs requiring export processing services. Founded circa 2012 (per company copyright and structured records) and headquartered in India, GLS Group operates with a headcount of 101-250 employees and has no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investors.
