B2B Delivery Services from GFS

Modernised delivery solutions built for high-volume, time-critical businesses.

b2b logistics

GFS provides managed B2B delivery services for high-volume businesses, combining multi-carrier access, unified technology and expert operational support to give shippers end-to-end control, visibility and resilience across domestic and international networks.

B2B delivery is operationally different from eCommerce last mile delivery. Shipments are larger, timelines are tighter, recipients are businesses rather than consumers and the consequences of a failed delivery are felt across an entire supply chain. 

GFS was founded to solve exactly this problem. As one of the UK’s most established B2B courier service providers, we give businesses access to 1,000+ delivery services across 220+ destinations through a single integration, a single relationship and a single invoice via our multi-carrier delivery services platform.

What Is B2B Delivery?

B2B delivery – or business-to-business delivery – refers to the shipping of goods between commercial entities rather than to individual consumers. This includes manufacturers shipping to distributors, wholesalers delivering to retailers and suppliers fulfilling orders to operational sites such as warehouses, schools, hospitals and construction projects.

Unlike B2C delivery where individual parcels go to residential addresses, B2B shipments often involve higher volumes, stricter time windows, specialist handling requirements and multi-drop routes. Failed or late B2B deliveries can halt production lines, delay projects and damage long-standing commercial relationships. That is why B2B logistics requires a delivery partner with the operational depth, carrier network and technology to manage complexity at scale.

How GFS B2B Delivery Services Work

GFS is not a carrier. GFS is a managed multi-carrier B2B delivery partner that manages the relationship with the carrier network, providing the technology, operational expertise and commercial leverage to make B2B shipping simpler, cheaper and more reliable.

  • Multi-Carrier Access and Resilience

    Through a single integration, businesses gain access to 1,000+ B2B delivery services from a network of carrier partners spanning domestic and international routes. This carrier diversification means that when one carrier faces capacity constraints or service disruptions, GFS can reroute B2B shipments to alternative carriers without any shipper intervention. No single point of failure. No service gaps.

  • Unified Technology Platform

    GFS’ ECM technology suite powers every stage of B2B delivery operations through a single, one-time integration:

    Labelling and despatch: Automated carrier-compliant label generation across all carriers and sales channels via GFS Selector – eliminating manual processes and reducing errors in high-volume B2B shipping environments.

    Tracking and visibility: GFS Seeker provides unified, real-time B2B tracking across every carrier in the service suite. The operations team can spot delays before they become customer complaints, and pro-active notifications keep recipients informed at every stage.

    Performance reporting: GFS Reportor’s dashboards give B2B shippers carrier performance data, delivery success rates and cost-per-parcel analysis to continuously optimise their delivery operations.

    Invoice management: GFS Validator consolidates all carrier billing into a single invoice, simplifying accounts payable and giving B2B operations complete cost visibility across the carrier network.

  • Pro-Active Operations and Support

    GFS does not just provide carrier partnerships, technology and walk away. The GFS Operations team pro-actively manages carrier relationships, capacity planning, multi-carrier collections and rapid contingency solutions when disruptions arise. Extended collection windows, including late collections 7 days a week, maximise production capacity and ensure B2B courier operations run to the tightest timelines. The dedicated Customer Care team monitors B2B shipments across the carrier network and intervenes to resolve delivery issues before they reach the recipient.

Our Heritage in B2B Delivery

GFS was founded to serve the complex needs of business-to-business delivery at a time when eCommerce was almost non-existent. This gives GFS a unique heritage in complex, high-volume B2B parcel delivery that predates the consumer shipping boom by decades. While most delivery platforms were built for eCommerce first and retrofitted for B2B, GFS was built for B2B first and expanded into eCommerce – meaning the operational DNA, carrier relationships and technology architecture are purpose-built for the demands of commercial shipping.

International B2B Delivery

GFS manages international B2B shipments with the same visibility and control as domestic delivery. This includes managed customs documentation, independently monitored transit times and competitive international pricing. Businesses selling or distributing internationally can also access eCommerce delivery solutions and sustainable shipping methods across GFS’ global networks.
