The realities of business logistics in Greater Copenhagen
Greater Copenhagen is one of the most competitive and congested business environments in Scandinavia. Companies operating in the city face a specific combination of logistical challenges that a generic national transport provider often cannot handle well: narrow streets in the city core, strict environmental zone regulations, time-sensitive deliveries to premium business addresses, and the need for zero-downtime transitions when relocating offices.
We have built our B2B operations around these realities since 2015. Our team operates across all of Greater Copenhagen — from the tech clusters of Ørestad and Carlsberg Byen to the financial offices of Hellerup and the creative agencies of Vesterbro and Nørrebro.
Case study — UEFA Champions League, Copenhagen, January 2026: SSC Napoli contracted GIA Service ApS to manage their complete luggage logistics over two days — collection from CPH Airport tarmac, 24-hour secure storage, delivery to their training ground in Ballerup, and final delivery to Parken Stadium for the match. This is the kind of time-critical, high-value B2B operation we are built for.
Office and commercial relocation in Copenhagen
An office move is not simply a bigger version of a home move. It is a project with multiple stakeholders — IT, facilities management, HR, and senior leadership — each with different requirements and different definitions of "success." Done badly, it costs you days of productivity and creates lasting staff frustration. Done well, it is largely invisible.
The planning framework we use for commercial relocations:
Assessment and logistics planning
Site visit to both addresses. Measurement of stairwells, lift capacity, and access routes. Coordination with your IT team on equipment handling requirements. Floor plan review for furniture placement at destination. Parking permit applications for both addresses if in central zones.
Communication and staff preparation
We provide your facilities manager with a detailed move schedule — which teams move on which day, in what order. Clear labelling system for all items: zone-coded box labels, IT equipment tags, and furniture stickers. We liaise directly with your building management at both addresses regarding elevator access windows and loading bay reservations.
Staged, low-disruption relocation
We operate in a "rolling wave" approach — moving department by department rather than the entire office at once. This is particularly important for businesses that cannot afford a full-day shutdown. IT equipment is disconnected by your team, but we handle all physical transport with anti-static packaging for screens and sensitive electronics. We place all furniture to your floor plan at destination — your team arrives to a functioning workspace.
Clearance and waste disposal
Old furniture, packaging, and redundant equipment is cleared from both addresses. We dispose of all materials in compliance with Danish waste regulations — certified disposal documentation provided on request. We partner with certified recycling facilities in the Greater Copenhagen area.

Last-mile delivery and distribution in Greater Copenhagen
Last-mile delivery in Copenhagen means navigating one of Europe's most cycle-and-pedestrian-friendly cities — a city that has deliberately made driving harder, not easier. That is a good thing for the environment and for residents. For businesses that need reliable, same-day physical delivery, it requires a partner who knows the city's access restrictions, environmental zones, and time windows.
Single pallets or full loads delivered across Greater Copenhagen and Zealand. Same-day available for orders placed before 12:00. Tail-lift van for ground-level delivery at addresses without loading bays.
Urgent document, equipment, or goods delivery anywhere in Copenhagen. Response from 07:30 daily. Orders before 12:00 guaranteed same-day delivery within the city.
Delivery and collection for trade shows, conferences, and events at venues including Bella Center, Forum Copenhagen, and Parken Stadium. We have experience with venue access requirements and time-critical setup windows.
Collection of equipment from client sites, return to warehouse, or direct disposal. Useful for end-of-lease office clearances, product recalls, and equipment refresh cycles.
Operating within Copenhagen's environmental zone
Copenhagen's environmental zone (miljøzone) covers large parts of the inner city and imposes emissions standards on commercial vehicles. Since 2022, heavier restrictions have been applied to diesel vehicles, and the zone has been expanded. Any business managing logistics in Copenhagen needs to understand these rules — and ensure their logistics partners comply.
Our fleet meets current zone requirements. We operate late-model vehicles with compliant emissions ratings. For clients with specific environmental commitments or reporting requirements, we can provide vehicle specification documentation on request.

Full commercial relocation including IT, furniture, archives, and breakout spaces. Phased, zero-downtime approach.
