Frequently asked questions about GLS integration

How does GLS work?

Every package sent with Monta and tracked by GLS has a distinct barcode label. This barcode is scanned at all distribution and transport touchpoints using a handheld device. The scans are instantly relayed to the advanced GLS software system, ensuring real-time tracking and seamless integration with Monta's platform.

What does GLS mean in shipping?

GLS, or General Logistics Systems B.V., is a prominent parcel service provider in Europe and is expanding its footprint in North America. As Monta's trusted partner, GLS ensures efficient and reliable shipping solutions for e-commerce businesses. Founded as a postal service industry leader, GLS's collaboration with Monta elevates the shipping experience.

What is GLS in business?

GLS, or General Logistics Systems US, Inc., is a pioneering force in ground parcel delivery. With a reputation for exceptional service and consistent growth, GLS offers lucrative business opportunities. When integrated with Monta's e-commerce solutions, businesses can leverage the combined expertise of both Monta and GLS for unparalleled operational efficiency.

How does GLS deliver?

In collaboration with Monta's platform, GLS utilises a “track & trace" system for standard parcel delivery. The ideal scenario is for GLS to hand over the parcel directly to the recipient, who then authenticates the delivery by signing on the delivery driver's handheld scanner. If the primary recipient is not available, another member of the household can accept and sign for the parcel, ensuring a smooth and secure delivery process through Monta's partnership.
