GLS Group
GLS Group (General Logistics Systems B.V.) is a European ground-based parcel and freight carrier headquartered in Amsterdam-Duivendrecht, Netherlands, and owned by International Distributions Services plc. It operates a road network of more than 120 hubs and roughly 1,600 depots across some 50 countries in Europe, the United States and Canada, moving B2B and B2C parcels up to about 32 kg plus a freight/LTL and express line, with an out-of-home ParcelShop and locker network. In the supply chain it is a last-mile and middle-mile parcel integrator: the party a shipper, e-commerce platform or shipping-API aggregator hands a consignment to for pickup, linehaul, customs clearance and delivery. Its API posture is federated and contract-bound rather than unified. The GLS Group developer portal (dev-portal.gls-group.net, run by GLS IT Services GmbH on Apigee) allows self-serve account and app registration with API keys or OAuth 2.0, but its API catalog is only visible after sign-in and "restricted" APIs additionally require approval by a local GLS representative. National units run their own portals — GLS Netherlands publishes an Azure API Management portal at api-portal.gls.nl whose OpenAPI 3.0.1 definitions for the Label API and the Track & Trace API are anonymously readable, but calling them still requires MyGLS credentials issued to a contracted shipper. The group-wide GLS ShipIT REST/SOAP web services are fully documented in public Doxygen reference pages, yet the base URL itself is handed out only with credentials by a customer's primary GLS contact. No industry data standard — GS1/EPCIS, UPU, DCSA, IATA ONE Record, UN/EDIFACT or ANSI X12 — is referenced anywhere in the artifacts GLS publishes; every identifier and event vocabulary is GLS-proprietary.
GLS Group publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authentication API, Delivery API, Delivery Options API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Logistics, Supply Chain, Netherlands, Parcel, and Shipping.
GLS Group’s developer surface includes getting-started guide, FAQ, signup flow, API reference, and 7 more developer resources.
