GLS FORWARDER

One shared operational reality

GLS FORWARDER provides a consolidated operating environment for existing partner relationships. It does not create partnerships — it operationalises cooperation that already exists.

Partners operate shared services covering groupage, full-load movements, or both, using the same virtual trailers and the same operational workflow, while remaining commercially and legally independent.

• All operational data exists once, in one place
• No replication, synchronisation, or partner data exchange
• No email-driven workflows between parties
• Both partners always see the same trailer state
• Only viewing context (language, role) differs by user

Designed for repeatable lanes

GLS FORWARDER is used where partners cooperate on defined, repeatable services — not ad-hoc agency or one-off subcontracting.

• Groupage and full-load services defined by agreement
• Every shipment belongs to an agreed shared service
• Continuous shared visibility across all virtual trailers
• Clear lifecycle state from build to departure
• Audit-ready operational history by design

Profit and loss resulting from shared services is settled outside GLS, in line with the service agreement. GLS provides the operational record — not the accounting system.
