SouthCross Logistics

What SouthCross Logistics does

SouthCross Logistics (legal entity SouthCross SA) is a privately held Argentine freight forwarder and integrated logistics provider headquartered in Buenos Aires. The company was established in 2004 by a team with more than 20 years of international logistics experience and has built a leadership position in Latin America alongside an established presence in Spain. Its service portfolio spans five transport modes (air, maritime, land, multimodal, and liquid), warehousing and distribution, customs brokerage, and international courier under the CrossCourier sub-brand, supplemented by specialized solutions for mining, perishables, live animals, and project bulk cargo. Operationally, SouthCross runs 11 offices across Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela, with a strategic on-airport office at Ezeiza International Airport and an owned warehouse in Asunción that provides customs storage and duty deferral benefits. Its courier network reaches more than 88 countries through the CrossCourier platform.

The underlying technology stack is operational rather than platform-native: core capabilities include door-to-door international courier with customs management under the CrossCourier brand, online shipment tracking for Argentina and Peru with real-time status updates, and an SEO-optimized bilingual (Spanish/English) website that funnels leads into Zoho Bookings for sales meetings. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, IATA membership, and Exporta Simple (Certified Simple Export operator) status, and it maintains memberships in AGAP, GS1, CABOL, Agexport, the Mar del Plata Energy Cluster, AAACI, Atolpar, Jotrans, and Panco, with an exclusive representation agreement with DJD Logistics for flexitank and isotank liquid transport.

Commercially, SouthCross operates a B2B enterprise field sales motion targeting mining, food and agriculture, pharmaceutical, livestock, retail, and technology sectors, as well as general import/export businesses across the region. Revenue is generated almost entirely through transaction-based fees: per-shipment pricing for air, sea, land, and multimodal freight (varying by weight, volume, destination, and complexity), per-package courier fees under CrossCourier's Standard, Priority, and unlimited-load tiers, professional service fees for warehousing and tax-warehouse operations, and customs brokerage fees for tariff classification, documentation, and regulatory representation. No public pricing is disclosed, and quotes are produced per engagement. The company has approximately 93 employees, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, and reports no M&A, leadership changes, or restructuring events in the available data.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• DHL Global Forwarding: World's largest air and ocean freight forwarder with extensive LATAM presence; overlaps with SouthCross across all transport modes but operates at vastly greater scale and with owned international capacity rather than partner networks.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Top-three global freight forwarder with strong specialty in perishables and pharma logistics — directly comparable to SouthCross's cold-chain and pharmaceutical vertical capabilities but at global scale.
• DSV Panalpina: Global freight forwarder with significant LATAM road and air freight presence; competes for the same cross-border and project cargo customers that SouthCross serves from its regional office network.
• DB Schenker: Global logistics integrator with strong land transport and cross-border trucking in the Americas; competes for the same FTL/LTL cross-border trucking customers SouthCross serves in South America.
• Agility Logistics: Global freight forwarder with substantial emerging-markets presence in LATAM, Africa, and Asia; overlaps with SouthCross's multimodal international forwarding capabilities across developing trade corridors.

Regional players

• Grupo Logístico Andreani: Largest Argentine logistics operator with warehousing, courier, and distribution services across Argentina and Latin America — the closest direct regional peer, competing with SouthCross for local freight, warehousing, and courier business.
• Ti Logistics: Argentine freight forwarder focused on cross-border trade between Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay — competes with SouthCross for the same Southern Cone cross-border trucking and customs customers.

Direct peers

• JAS Worldwide: Privately held global freight forwarder with deep specialty in LATAM, perishables, and project cargo — a closely comparable mid-sized peer with similar vertical focus and independent ownership profile.
• BDP International: Privately held mid-sized freight forwarder specializing in chemicals, mining, and project cargo across emerging markets — directly comparable business model and vertical mix to SouthCross's mining and liquid transport practices.

Emerging players

• Flexport: Tech-enabled digital freight forwarder; not a direct regional competitor but represents the digital-native model that traditional forwarders like SouthCross must increasingly contend with for SME and mid-market cross-border parcel and forwarding business.
