What d2d logistics does

D2D Logistics Private Limited is an India-based freight forwarding and logistics services provider headquartered in Cochin, Kerala. The company operates as the exclusive Indian agent for Samskip Logistics, a Netherlands-headquartered multimodal transport group with offices in 35 countries, approximately 1,700 employees worldwide, and annual turnover exceeding EUR 700 million. D2D was founded by a team of professionals with experience in liner shipping, multimodal transportation, and warehouse and distribution services, and delivers end-to-end door-to-door international transportation solutions for Indian importers and exporters.

The company's service portfolio spans eight categories: ocean freight, air freight, project cargo (overweight and oversized/breakbulk), LCL consolidation, customs and health clearance, inland transportation, storage and distribution, and documentation. D2D's stated differentiators are vertical specialization in reefer (temperature-controlled) cargo — leveraging Samskip's Frigo Care cold stores in Norway and the Netherlands — and in project/breakbulk cargo. The company facilitates annual consortium contracts pooling multiple customers on specific trade lanes, enabling competitive pricing and preferential space allocation through Samskip's global contracts with shipping lines.

D2D's revenue model is transaction-fee based, with no public pricing disclosed; freight rates are quote-based and depend on cargo type, volume, trade lanes, and service requirements. The go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement from the Cochin head office with 24/7 customer support, supplemented by the channel-partner relationship with Samskip. The company serves India-anchored customers with global reach into Europe, the Baltic States, Russia, Central Asia, China, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa via Samskip's combined rail, road, short-sea, inland waterway, sea, and air network. No proprietary technology stack is disclosed for D2D itself; the company relies on Samskip's operational software.
