Company
The secret of our success is rooted in the very beginnings of GO! Founded in 1984 as a consortium of courier services, GO! is now the medium-sized quality leader in the CEP sector in Germany. The network concept has determined our business activities right from the start.
GO!’s Express & Logistics (Schweiz) AG was founded in 2006 by the former owners of NES AG, Marcel Tüscher and Giovanni Iorio-Esposito. Although initially only involved in imports and exports, the company has always pursued the strategy of being the first nationwide same-day delivery network.
Today, the company operates the first standardised transport network that makes it possible to supply the entire territory of Switzerland several times a day. All hubs and satellites are provided with fixed arrival and departure times within the routing system, similar to a railway station model. This means that consignments from partners and customers domestically and abroad can be fed into the GO! system at the designated points at predefined times. This also benefits overseas and cross-border clients, who can feed directly into the gateway satellite and collect consignments that have been picked up. GO! is the only company in Switzerland that can perform and deliver nationwide collections on the day of the order.
The GO! Head Office in Winterthur coordinates and controls all the domestic processes in the network and ensures compliance with uniformly high quality standards. The link between all of the Swiss stations and therefore the heart of the GO! system is a high-performance, browser-based IT solution that is linked to all Swiss clients. Both clients and partners can access all the available data from our open system via API.
GO!’s Switzerland is conscious of its role as a transport service provider and therefore supports the reforestation and replanting of tree populations worldwide. In addition, GO! Switzerland has set itself the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2025.
Founded in 1984 as a consortium of courier services, GO! is now the medium-sized quality leader in the CEP sector. The network concept has shaped our business activities right from the outset.
The individual GO! stations work independently to a large extent and therefore have the necessary room for manoeuvre to be able to respond flexibly to the local prevailing conditions and the individual needs of their customers. The GO! Head Office in Bonn coordinates the processes in the far-reaching network and ensures compliance with uniformly high quality standards. The link between all the stations and therefore the heart of the GO! system is the central sorting centre in Niederaula, Hesse. The main transshipment hub functions as a collection point and hub for all consignments that are not handled via one of the 6 regional transshipment centres. In the hubs, the consignments are sorted and loaded appropriately for the particular destination station.
