bp fulfillment & service GmbH & Co. KG

What bp fulfillment & service GmbH & Co. KG does

bp fulfillment & service GmbH & Co. KG is a Hamburg-based logistics and fulfillment services provider operating since 2009 from a ~30,000 m² facility in Hamburg-Rahlstedt. The company delivers end-to-end order fulfillment (warehousing, picking, packing, shipping, returns management) for e-commerce businesses and publishers, complemented by a nationwide retail field sales force of 22 representatives conducting approximately 60,000 store visits per year, transport services in northern Germany, custom software development, and commercial real estate rental at its headquarters site. Technical infrastructure centers on a proprietary logistics platform with REST API and CSV/FTP integration to ten major shop systems (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Shopware, Gambio, JTL, Plentymarkets, OXID, xt:Commerce, PrestaShop), multi-carrier shipping integrations with DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS, and Hermes, GPS-tracked vehicles, and PTV Map & Market route planning software for both delivery and field sales operations. Custom automation programs for billing workflows, order processing, mailbox monitoring, and print control are developed in-house using Microsoft Visual Studio.

Revenue is generated through four streams: transaction-based fulfillment fees (priced per order by volume, weight, and complexity), per-shipment transport charges (with express and same-day options in the Hamburg metropolitan area and northern Germany), professional service fees for retail merchandising campaigns and software development, and managed rental income from commercial office space at the Hamburg-Rahlstedt facility (tenants include Verlagsgrosso Nord). The customer base spans enterprise publishers (Funke Mediengruppe, Axel Springer, Motor Presse Hamburg), event-driven e-commerce clients (K Idol GmbH for ATEEZ merchandise), retail merchandising partners (D-FORCE-ONE), and long-tail SMB online shops (Löwenmanufaktur, Inferno Ragazzi, Kronenberg), with pricing provided via custom quotes supported by an online calculator. Distribution is sales-led via direct outreach, an inside sales team responding to website inquiries, and an SEO-driven content strategy anchored on a comprehensive logistics glossary.

The most active strategic vector in the past 12 months has been sustainability differentiation and capability expansion: a 207 kWp photovoltaic system commissioned in March 2025, BIO certification for organic product handling obtained in November 2024, and a climate-neutral certification covering 2022 (audited by TÜV SÜD, supported by offset projects in India and Indonesia). A dedicated sub-brand — bp Die Aussendienst Agentur — was launched in February 2025 to market retail field sales as a standalone service, and the company continues to deepen its multi-channel shop-system integration footprint and bespoke software practice. The legal entity is a privately held GmbH & Co. KG limited partnership with Informationsmedien Handels GmbH (Hamburg HRB 13726) as personally liable partner; managing directors include Michael Fischer and David Löffler.
