7Days Switzerland

What 7Days Switzerland does

7Days Switzerland is a privately held logistics and press distribution services company operating as the sole press wholesaler for Switzerland and Liechtenstein, with operational roots dating to 1989 (Transport und Presseservice AG) and the current brand established in 2014 when the 7Days Group acquired Valora's Services Division. The company serves enterprise and SME customers across publishing, retail (Coop, Migros Online, Valora, Volg, Tally Weijl, La Redoute), beverages (Coca-Cola HBC, Feldschlösschen), telecommunications (Sunrise, Swisscom), optics (Optiswiss, Misenso), tobacco (Oettinger Davidoff), libraries (SLSP), and field service (KONE, Vaillant), plus end consumers through its Päckli Punkt PUDO parcel network.

The company operates three main divisions, 7Days Logistics, 7Days Media, and 7Days Food, delivered through a hub-and-spoke network of two distribution centres covering German/French-speaking Switzerland, Ticino, and Liechtenstein. Its technology stack includes proprietary ERP-based algorithms for daily press portfolio regulation, dynamic route optimization and tour management, intelligent key management for spare parts delivery to technicians' vehicles, and a Market Partner Portal (web/mobile app) for retailer portfolio management. The product portfolio spans Overnight Express, Next Day Delivery, Shop2Shop, Home Delivery (B2C), On-Site Delivery, Returns Service, Warehousing, Order Picking, Cross-Docking, Fulfillment Solutions, and industry-specific solutions for Fashion/Beauty, FMCG, Healthcare, Opticians, Spare Parts, E-commerce, PUDO, and Returns Management.

7Days generates revenue through a hybrid model: marketplace commissions on press wholesale distribution, professional services fees for bespoke fulfillment contracts (typically multi-year), per-shipment transaction fees for transport and last-mile delivery, and per-parcel fees for the Päckli Punkt PUDO network. Go-to-market combines direct field sales for logistics services and press retail onboarding, account management for publishers and key accounts, supported by a multilingual Press Contact Centre (German, French, Italian) and SEO-optimized digital presence. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, HACCP, and EcoVadis Bronze certifications, and is a member of ASTAG and KEP Plus Mail industry associations.

3. Transport and Last-Mile Delivery Services: Package delivery services including Overnight Express, Next Day Delivery, Home Delivery (B2C), Shop2Shop, and On-Site Delivery for cross-border, national, and city logistics. Revenue is generated per shipment or through contractual delivery agreements.

Regional players

• DFVP / Pressegrosso Germany: Association/organization coordinating Germany's regional press wholesalers (Pressegrosso), the closest functional analog to 7Days' regulated press wholesale model — highly comparable business model though operating in Germany rather than Switzerland.

Direct peers

• Planzer Transport AG: Swiss family-owned logistics provider offering national transport, fulfillment, warehousing and e-commerce logistics to enterprise customers in FMCG, retail, and fashion — directly comparable service mix and customer base.
• Swiss Post (Die Post): Switzerland's national postal service operates a universal parcel and press distribution network across the same geography as 7Days, including overnight B2B, B2C home delivery, and PUDO through its own retail outlets — directly comparable on every service line.
• DPD (Schweiz) AG: European parcel network's Swiss arm competes directly with 7Days' Next Day Delivery, Home Delivery (B2C) and PUDO services for e-commerce and enterprise customers.
• Galliker Transport & Logistics AG: Swiss-based transport and logistics group with full-service fulfillment, distribution, and last-mile capabilities, including temperature-controlled food logistics for major Swiss retailers — closely aligned with 7Days' FMCG and home delivery business.
• GLS Switzerland (General Logistics Systems): European parcel delivery network operating in Switzerland with B2B and B2C parcel, returns and PUDO services — direct competitor for 7Days' parcel, home delivery and returns lines.
• Die Schweizerische Post / PostLogistics: The B2B logistics arm of Swiss Post, focused on fulfillment, warehousing, cross-docking and e-commerce logistics for enterprise customers — directly competing for the same large Swiss accounts.

Broad incumbents

• Kühne + Nagel: Global logistics incumbent with a strong Swiss footprint in contract logistics, fulfillment and distribution for FMCG, healthcare and fashion — overlapping capabilities with 7Days but at much larger scale and scope.
• DHL Express Switzerland: Global express and logistics incumbent with domestic and cross-border capabilities for enterprise and e-commerce customers — comparable on parcel and fulfillment but operating as part of a much wider global portfolio.
• DSV A/S: Global transport and logistics company with significant Swiss operations in road, air, sea and contract logistics — overlaps with 7Days' transport and fulfillment services but as part of a broader, internationally diversified portfolio.
