History[]
In December 2020, XPO Logistics announced intent to spin off its global contract logistics segment into a separate company, GXO Logistics Inc.[5] The spin-off was completed in August 2021, with American businessman Brad Jacobs as Non-Executive Chairman, Malcolm Wilson as CEO, and Baris Oran as CFO.[6]
Operations[]
GXO operates approximately 869 warehouses with 208 million square feet of facility space, making it the largest third-party pure-play contract logistics provider globally.[7][8][9] Its services include: e-commerce and omnichannel order fulfillment and distribution; returns management (reverse logistics); cold chain logistics; supply chain optimization and warehousing services, such as order personalization, engineered packaging and inventory tracking.[10][11]
GXO's contract logistics customers operate in retail, e-commerce, technology,[12] aerospace, telecom,[13] food and beverage,[14] healthcare,[15] agriculture and infrastructure.[16]
GXO Direct is a shared-space distribution network for omnichannel retail and e-commerce customers. GXO Direct enables customers to share or rent parts of distribution centers to store their products. GXO warehouses serve as stockholding sites and cross-docks utilized by multiple customers at the same time. Algorithms analyze customer data to identify patterns in consumer behavior and seasonality.[17]
