What Go! Express & Logistics (schweiz) Ag does

GO! Express & Logistics (Schweiz) AG is a privately held Swiss corporation headquartered in Winterthur, founded in 2005, that operates as the Swiss franchise of the GO! network — self-described as the largest independent courier and express network in Switzerland. The company provides time-critical B2B shipping services 365 days a year, 24/7, across Switzerland and ten European countries (Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, Liechtenstein, and the Netherlands). Its product portfolio is organized into four core lines: GO! Courier (same-day, direct, and tour-based delivery), GO! Express (Overnight, Night, Germany, Europe, and Worldwide), GO! Solutions (industry-specific logistics for Automotive, Agriculture, Medical Technology, and Hazardous Goods), and GO! Value Added Services (insurance, pickup, returns, special services, and customs clearance).

The underlying technology stack consists of a digital logistics platform featuring a customer portal (GO! Kundenportal), an online Order & Track system, a mobile application launched in March 2022 for iOS and Android, and integrations with the depotplatz.ch depot platform for flexible drop-off and pickup. Shipment tracking is delivered through a partnership with Logistic4all, and IT infrastructure is supported by 1st Log AG and Microsoft cloud services. The company holds multiple compliance certifications relevant to regulated verticals: DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, GDP for pharmaceutical distribution, AEO for customs, and CO2free for carbon reporting.

The business model is primarily transaction-based: pricing is quote-driven, tied to shipment characteristics (weight, dimensions, destination), and not publicly disclosed, with volume-weight calculated via L×B×H/5000. Revenue streams include core courier/express services, value-added services (insurance, returns, customs), and shipping materials. Distribution is direct through the company's own station network and a subcontractor driver model, with self-serve online ordering supplementing direct sales. The company is led by a three-member management board (Marcel Tüescher, Giovanni Iorio-Esposito, Beat Dahinden), is subject to Swiss Postcom mediation under the Post Ordinance, and operates as part of the broader GO! network sharing IP with GO! General Overnight Service (Deutschland) GmbH.

Direct peers

• GLS (General Logistics Systems): GLS operates one of Europe's largest ground-based parcel networks with B2B focus, competing directly with GO! on domestic and cross-border European parcel services. Both rely on partner-station models and target similar SMB and enterprise customers.
• DHL Express: DHL Express is the global leader in time-definite international courier services and the most direct competitor to GO!'s international express products (GO! Germany, GO! Europe, GO! Worldwide). Both offer B2B cross-border express with similar service-level commitments and target the same enterprise shipper base.
• FedEx Express: FedEx Express competes head-to-head with GO! on international time-definite courier and overnight services in Europe and globally. Both serve B2B customers needing reliable cross-border express with strong tracking — making FedEx a clear direct peer on the Worldwide and Overnight product lines.
• Hermes / Evri: Evri (formerly Hermes UK, with European parcel operations) operates a network-based parcel and express model similar in structure to GO!'s station-and-subcontractor approach. Both target B2B and B2C shippers needing flexible European delivery.
• UPS (United Parcel Service): UPS is a global integrator offering express and time-definite delivery across Europe and worldwide, directly overlapping with GO!'s Express portfolio. Both target B2B customers requiring premium cross-border service with end-to-end tracking.
• DPD (GeoPost): DPD is one of the largest parcel networks in Europe with strong same-day and next-day capabilities, and competes with GO! on domestic and intra-European B2B shipments. Both serve SMB and enterprise shippers across overlapping European geographies.

Broad incumbents

• DACHSER: DACHSER is a major European logistics provider with road freight and contract logistics capabilities. While less focused on same-day courier, DACHSER's European B2B logistics footprint overlaps with GO! Solutions and its industry-specific offerings.
• Swiss Post (Die Schweizerische Post): Swiss Post is the national postal incumbent with universal service obligations and dominant Swiss last-mile coverage. It competes with GO! on domestic express and overnight services in Switzerland and benefits from a network density no independent player can match domestically.
• TNT Express (now FedEx): TNT Express, now integrated into FedEx, was historically a major European B2B express player with deep European road and air networks. It represents the legacy competitive set GO! has long operated against on intra-European time-definite shipments.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Kuehne+Nagel is one of the world's largest freight forwarders with significant European road and air freight capability. It overlaps with GO!'s B2B express, automotive, and pharmaceutical verticals through its contract logistics and time-critical solutions.
