In simple terms, contract logistics is the long-term transfer of logistics tasks to a logistics service provider, which is regulated by a contract. How does contract logistics work? The contract logistics company takes on logistics tasks and acts as a link and standardised interface to the client. The service provider thus becomes a “system supplier”, as many different services are usually provided. Contract logistics basically includes all tasks along the entire supply chain . A similar definition is also provided by the Gabler Business Encyclopaedia. In addition to traditional services such as transport, warehousing and order picking, we frequently offer additional services such as assembly work, quality controls, preparation, kitting, specialised packaging, or order and customer support.
These services are also known as “Value Added Services” (VAS), as they create added value for the customer that goes beyond pure logistics.
The aim of contract logistics is to increase the degree of individualisation of logistics services and to continually adapt contract logistics services to the needs of the customer. This is why the co-operation is usually set up for a long period of time. The contract logistics provider becomes an essential partner in supply chain management.

Frequently Asked Questions about Contract Logistics
What is contract logistics?
Contract logistics involves the long-term outsourcing of logistics tasks to a service provider, governed by a contract. The contract logistics provider becomes the system supplier and single point of contact for all tasks along the supply chain. This includes traditional services such as transport and warehousing, as well as bespoke additional services.
What distinguishes contract logistics from a traditional freight forwarding business?
A traditional freight forwarder primarily organises transport from A to B. Contract logistics with LGI goes a step further as a system provider, handling procurement, warehousing, production and value-added services all under one roof. This allows you to consolidate several service areas with a long-term partner rather than relying on a succession of individual service providers.
What areas of contract logistics does LGI cover?
In contract logistics, LGI covers, amongst other things, distribution logistics, reverse logistics, production logistics and spare parts logistics. Reverse logistics returns resources and goods to your value chain, whilst production logistics manages material flows for more than 3,000 suppliers. Spare parts logistics ensures the timely supply of spare parts and prevents production downtime.
Which businesses would benefit from contract logistics with LGI?
Contract logistics with LGI is particularly well suited to companies with complex logistics processes, large volumes of goods or specific requirements throughout the supply chain. LGI develops bespoke solutions for this purpose, combining traditional logistics services with value-added services and tailoring them to the customer’s specific processes and requirements.
What do LGI’s value-added services include?
LGI’s value-added services include customs clearance, returns management, product finishing, assembly and disassembly, kitting, configuration, repairs and quality control. These value-added services go beyond traditional logistics services such as transport and warehousing. Working closely with you, LGI develops a bespoke VAS concept based on these services.
What are the benefits of one-stop contract logistics with LGI?
With LGI, you can consolidate a range of logistics services with a single, experienced partner. Processes are integrated, ranging from procurement and production logistics through to warehousing and distribution, right through to reverse logistics and value-added services.
