Karacter Logistics

What Karacter Logistics does

Karacter Logistics is a Swiss micro-operator founded in 2009 and headquartered in Granges, Valais, with a regional bureau in Cugy, Vaud. The company runs a hybrid business that combines physical event logistics — short-term rental of tents, tables, benches, inflatable arches, and modular metal (Trilight) structures, plus on-site assembly, transport, cleaning, and storage services — with a modular digital e-logistics platform. The platform comprises three interconnected products: E-STOCK, an intranet for real-time inventory management of corporate clothing, promotional items, and event equipment; E-AGENDA (Agenda Online), an online reservation system with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook integration, automated reminders, and approval workflows; and E-SHOP, a customized intranet tailored to each organisation's branding and modules.

The company serves Swiss enterprises across banking (Raiffeisen), energy (Oiken), healthcare (Adent), transportation (Travys), food/gastronomy (Hugo Reitzel), industrial manufacturing (CIMO), media (Bli Bla Blo), and payment terminals (Teeket), as well as unnamed SMB rental customers. Revenue is generated through three streams: per-unit equipment rental priced in CHF for 1–3 day or 4–7 day periods (with cleaning fees of CHF 80/hour and optional delivery/assembly), professional event services for storage, transport, assembly, and maintenance, and recurring subscription access to the E-STOCK, E-AGENDA, and E-SHOP digital platforms.

Karacter operates with approximately 7 employees and a sales-led go-to-market that combines direct phone and email contact, an online equipment reservation system, and an e-commerce-style intranet portal (e-stock.karacter.ch). Marketing channels are limited to organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) and the corporate website. No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, patents, or formal certifications are disclosed. The firm is privately held, single-jurisdiction (Switzerland), and shows no M&A or international expansion activity.
