Infrastructure
Modern commerce depends on commercial capability, technology, inventory, fulfillment and local execution working together. GSS connects these layers in one operating model.
Map nodes show commerce connectivity — not offices, warehouses, legal entities or owned facilities.
Most market entries do not fail for lack of demand. They fail between specialists — when the entry plan, the channel, the stock, the carrier and the system each belong to someone else and nobody owns the whole flow.
Technology alone does not execute commerce. Distribution alone does not control digital channels. Logistics alone does not create demand. GSS connects commercial, digital and physical execution.
Every GSS program moves through the same five stages. What changes from market to market is who does what at each stage — GSS directly, or GSS with validated local partners.
Discover
Where the demand is, which channels matter and what it takes to serve them.
Enter
The entry model — cross-border, partner-enabled or local — and the commercial set-up it needs.
Launch
Channels activated, catalog localized, inventory and fulfillment ready.
Operate
Channels, orders, stock and customers run day to day under one view.
Scale
More assortment, channels and neighbouring markets — localizing what works.
Each pillar can be used on its own, but they are built to connect: the market model shapes operations, operations run on the technology layer, and the technology layer drives fulfillment.
Where should we enter, and how?
Market and category intelligence, entry strategy, commercial set-up, localization and channel access — with import set-up directly or through validated local partners.
Who runs the channels every day?
Marketplace, retail and D2C operations: catalog, pricing and promotion, customer operations and performance management.
How do products, orders and stock stay in sync?
The control layer connecting catalog data, channels, orders, inventory, enterprise systems and reporting.
How does an order reach the customer?
Inventory placement, fulfillment, carrier orchestration, last mile and returns — GSS-operated where available, partner-delivered elsewhere.
When do we go local?
Start cross-border, prove demand, then localize inventory, operations and fulfillment where scale justifies it.
The pillars stay the same; the emphasis changes with the zone. Capability in one zone can serve an opportunity in another.

Marketplace and carrier connectivity carries most of the load — channels and carriers joined into one commerce layer, supplied from Türkiye and linked to Gulf demand.

Infrastructure · Market Access
From the first question — is there demand, and in which channels? — to a market-ready commercial model, GSS builds the way into a new market and the capability to operate once you are there.
From opportunity to market-ready model
A new market is rarely one decision. It is a sequence: understand the category, choose the entry model, put the commercial set-up in place, then earn the right to invest locally.
GSS runs that sequence with you and keeps the operating model light until demand is proven.
Opportunity
Category demand, channel landscape, competition and price position in the target market.
Entry model
Cross-border, partner-enabled or localized — chosen for the market, not by default.
Commercial set-up
Import model, invoicing, collections and the partners each role needs.
Market-ready
Channels, catalog and fulfillment ready to sell — with a plan for what localizes next.
Five areas that together turn a market opportunity into something a brand, marketplace or retailer can actually operate.
Operational market entry
Where the model and the local structure allow, market entry can include the operating layer that places products into a market. It is arranged directly or through validated local partners, depending on the market and operating model. Roles are agreed and stated market by market.
Most programs start on the left and move right as demand is proven. Some start further along, where the market or the brand already justifies it.
Cross-border
Selected channels served from existing inventory, with limited local exposure and fast learning.
Fits when demand is unproven, or the category travels well cross-border.
Partner-enabled
Import, invoicing, fulfillment or channel roles carried by partners, coordinated by GSS through one operating model.
Fits when a market needs a local structure but full localization is not yet justified.
Localized
Local inventory, commercial operations and fulfillment where scale creates an advantage.
Fits when demand, economics and channel fit are proven.
The same five capability areas, applied to very different markets.

Enter through pan-European and national marketplaces and retail-group channels, with carrier connectivity in place from the first order.

Infrastructure · Commerce Operations
GSS provides the operating layer that turns channels into controlled, repeatable commercial operations — the daily work behind every listing, price, order and customer.
What commerce operations means
Someone has to own the catalog, the price, the stock position, the promotion calendar, the customer and the reconciliation — on every channel, every day.
That is the work GSS takes on: not campaigns, but the operating discipline that makes a channel a dependable part of the business.
The same standards for content, pricing, availability and service apply whether a product sells on a marketplace, through a retailer’s digital channel or direct.
Four streams of work run continuously once a channel is live.
Brand and channel teams see how each market performs, and what is being done about it.
Each zone has its own channels, languages, promotion calendars and service expectations. The standard stays; the execution adapts.
Several marketplaces and languages at once — content, pricing and stock kept consistent across countries.
Explore EuropeFast-moving national marketplaces and retail channels, with intensive promotion calendars and high service expectations.
Explore TürkiyeMarketplace, pharmacy and quick-commerce channels operated in market, with Arabic and English content.
Explore The GulfBrand, retail and marketplace operations across the network.

Infrastructure · Technology
Technology is the control layer that connects commercial and physical execution. GSS uses it to run commerce — it is part of the operating model, not a software product sold on its own.
A connected commerce control layer
Every channel added, every carrier used and every system connected plugs into the same layer. A new marketplace or country is added without rebuilding the operation behind it.
What the layer connects is decided per program, starting from the systems a brand, retailer or partner already runs.
Product and catalog data, orders, inventory, channels, enterprise systems and reporting — each one only as useful as its connection to the others.
A selection of the marketplaces and carriers the layer connects to across the three zones. Integration scope is set channel by channel.
The layer is where commercial and physical execution meet: the same order is visible to the channel team, the warehouse and the carrier.
Channel
A customer orders on a marketplace or retailer channel.
Commerce layer
The order enters the GSS commerce layer with its price, stock and customer data.
Inventory
Stock is allocated from the right location for that market.
Fulfillment
Picked, packed and handed to the carrier chosen for the route.
Delivery
Tracking, delivery status and any return flow back to the channel and the report.
The layer is judged by what it lets people run — not by the number of integrations it has.


Infrastructure · Fulfillment & Logistics
Inventory placement, fulfillment, carriers, last mile and returns — orchestrated as one flow, delivered through GSS capability where it operates and validated partners where it does not.
Fulfillment is designed backwards from the channel: where the customer orders, how fast they expect it, and how a return comes home.
Placement
Stock positioned for the markets and channels it serves — cross-border or in market.
Fulfillment
Orders picked, packed and prepared to each channel’s standard.
Carriers
The right carrier chosen per route, service level and cost.
Last mile
Delivery into the customer’s hands, tracked to completion.
Returns
Reverse flow, inspection and restock or disposition, reconciled with the channel.

Early in a market, inventory can stay cross-border and move as orders arrive. As demand is proven, stock moves closer to the customer — into GSS-operated fulfillment where available, or a validated partner’s facility.
E-commerce fulfillment is run to each channel’s rules: packaging, labels, cut-off times and service levels.
Carrier choice, shipment creation, tracking and exceptions are handled through one layer across national couriers and global express networks.
GSS does not own every warehouse, node or carrier in the network. Each program states which parts GSS operates and which are delivered by validated partners.

Infrastructure · Cross-Border & Localization
Cross-border when it makes sense. Local when scale demands it. The model lets a market prove itself before it asks for local investment.
Cross-Border When It Makes Sense. Local When Scale Demands It.
Why cross-border first
Local inventory, entities and teams are expensive to build and slow to unwind. Selling cross-border first shows what the market actually buys, at what price and through which channels — before that commitment is made.
Four stages, each with its own decision. A market can pause at any stage for as long as the economics say it should.
Test
Enter lightly, through cross-border or limited local exposure.
Prove
Prove demand, economics and channel fit in the market.
Localize
Localize inventory, commercial operations and fulfillment when scale justifies it.
Scale
Expand assortment, channels and neighbouring markets.
Each layer localizes on its own trigger. Content often goes first; inventory and legal structure usually last.
Türkiye supply can test European channels cross-border; European brands can test Gulf demand; a proven Gulf category can localize while its sourcing stays in Türkiye.
Retail, marketplaces, brands, manufacturing and sourcing — the engine between regions.
Explore TürkiyeLocalizing means someone must carry the local operating roles. GSS arranges them as part of the program.
Operating roles in a localized market
Depending on the market, these roles are arranged directly or through validated local partners, depending on the market and operating model. Which party carries each role is stated market by market.

Solutions
Brands, marketplaces, retailers, logistics partners and public institutions come to GSS with very different goals. Each one gets an operating model built around its role — on the same network and infrastructure.
A brand needs someone to run its channels. A marketplace needs supply. A retailer needs assortment and digital depth. A carrier needs demand. A ministry needs a program that executes. Start from your role.

Solutions · Brands & Manufacturers
Enter, operate and scale across regions without rebuilding every local capability from zero — whether the market is new to you, or one where your e-commerce should be doing more.
Most brands come to GSS in one of two situations. The operating model is different for each.
Scenario A
You are not yet present in the country or region, and do not want to build every local capability before you know the market.
Scenario B
You already have a JV, a distributor, a retail partner or your own local entity — but that structure is not built to run marketplaces, D2C, digital retail or quick commerce at the level the market now needs.
Same infrastructure, different roles.
| Aspect | Scenario AEnter a new market | Scenario BSpecialist operator in an existing market |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | No local presence, or only exploratory sales. | An established local structure focused on traditional channels. |
| What GSS brings | Market access, localization, channel activation, fulfillment and the operating model. | Digital-channel operations, content, pricing, fulfillment coordination and reporting. |
| Who GSS works with | The brand’s international or regional team. | The brand’s regional or global HQ, coordinating with the local partner. |
| Local structure | Import and commercial set-up arranged directly or through validated local partners, depending on the market and operating model. | Remains in place. GSS integrates with it rather than replacing it. |
| Typical first channels | Selected marketplaces, then retail and quick commerce. | Marketplaces, quick commerce and digital retail not yet well served. |
A selection of the marketplaces, retail networks and quick-commerce channels in the GSS network.
Whichever scenario applies, the brand keeps the brand decisions; GSS runs the execution in market.
Both scenarios apply in every zone. The mix of channels differs.

Solutions · Marketplaces
GSS helps a marketplace enter or deepen a market by bringing supply, brands, sellers, localization, local operations and fulfillment — as one program rather than one seller at a time.
The marketplace growth problem
A marketplace entering a new country — or trying to deepen one — needs categories filled with the right brands, at the right price, available fast. Recruiting and integrating sellers one by one rarely gets there.
GSS sources and organises supply across its network, then runs it on the marketplace as one managed ecosystem.
Onboarding is run as a pipeline, so the marketplace sees categories filling rather than a queue of individual sellers.
Qualify
Brands and sellers assessed for assortment fit, pricing, supply reliability and compliance with the market.
Set up
Commercial terms, the operating model and — where needed — import and invoicing roles agreed.
Localize the catalog
Titles, attributes, images, language and compliance data prepared to the marketplace’s standards.
List & price
Listings launched with a price position and promotion plan for the category.
Operate
Stock, orders, service and performance run to the marketplace’s service levels.
Review
Category performance reviewed with the marketplace team, and the next supply wave planned.
New supply can go live quickly from outside the market. The categories that prove themselves move into local inventory.
Cross-border launch
Selected assortment sold into the market from existing stock.
Proven demand
Sell-through, price and service data show which categories work.
Local inventory
Winning assortment moves into market for faster delivery.
Local operations
Deeper ranges, local promotions and full in-market operations.
The supply program includes the operations behind it, so the marketplace does not inherit sellers it has to manage one by one.

Solutions · Retailers
Stores, customers and supplier relationships are an advantage online too — when the digital operation, the assortment and the supply behind them are built to match.
Most retailers recognise at least two of these at once. Each maps to a different part of the model.
GSS operates the digital channels a retailer needs — its own and the marketplaces it sells on — without a separate e-commerce team built from scratch.
Assortment & sourcing
GSS connects retailers to new supply — including the Türkiye manufacturing and brand network — and handles the route from supplier to shelf and screen.
Import and supply set-up is arranged directly or through validated local partners, depending on the market and operating model.
Category gap
Where range, price position or reliability fall short.
Sourcing
Suppliers and brands from Türkiye and the wider GSS network.
Supply set-up
Terms, import roles, compliance and logistics agreed.
In store & online
The new range live on shelves and digital channels, with performance tracked.
Where a retailer’s volume and category position justify it, sourced and private-label products can add differentiation and margin. GSS supports the sourcing, product development and supply behind them.
Fulfillment for stores and online
Online growth changes how stock moves. GSS designs the inventory and fulfillment model around the retailer’s network:
Pharmacy, beauty, grocery and specialist retail across Türkiye and the Gulf.


Solutions · Logistics & Fulfillment Partners
GSS does not sell logistics to logistics companies. It connects logistics capacity to commerce demand — the merchants, sellers and marketplace orders that fill it.
From capacity to demand
Warehouses, line haul and last-mile networks are built ahead of demand. GSS brings the commercial side — sellers, brands, marketplaces and their orders — organised into corridors a logistics partner can plan around.
Supply moves from Türkiye into Europe and the Gulf; European brands move toward Gulf demand; returns move back. Each corridor is a lane with commerce behind it.
Retail, marketplaces, brands, manufacturing and sourcing — the engine between regions.
Explore TürkiyeMarketplaces and retailers in the GSS network — the channels where the orders begin.

Solutions · Governments & Ecosystem Enablers
Export development, seller enablement and trade-corridor goals need more than training and trade fairs. GSS helps institutions turn them into programs that put products into foreign channels and report what happened.
The policy and ecosystem challenge
Many sellers are export-ready in principle but not in practice: their products are not listed abroad, their content is not localized, and no one operates their stock and orders in the destination market.
Each program is designed with the institution and run by GSS with its network. The steps stay the same; the corridor, sectors and scale change.
Seller pool
The sellers and brands the program is meant to serve, defined with the institution.
Qualification
Each seller assessed for product fit, supply capacity, pricing and compliance in the destination.
Export readiness
Catalog, content, packaging and documentation prepared for the destination channels.
Channel access
Listings on destination marketplaces and retail channels in the GSS network.
Destination operations
Stock, orders, pricing and customer operations run in the destination market.
Logistics & execution
Cross-border movement, import roles and fulfillment arranged for the corridor.
Demand generation
Channel campaigns and merchandising that give new sellers visibility.
Performance data
Listings, sales, delivery and returns reported to the institution on an agreed cadence.
Institutions keep the policy decisions; GSS carries the commercial execution.
Design
Objectives, sectors, corridor and seller pool agreed with the institution.
Qualify
Sellers assessed and grouped by readiness.

Success Story · Marketplace infrastructure
Building the local supply and operating infrastructure a marketplace needs to grow beyond simple seller integration.
Starting Point
Trendyol is part of the GSS marketplace network in Türkiye. In Saudi Arabia, GSS works with Trendyol Saudi Arabia in a marketplace infrastructure and operating relationship.
The starting question is not how to add sellers one at a time. It is how to put the supply and operating capability behind a marketplace that lets it grow in a new market.
Challenge
A marketplace growing in a new market needs four things at once — and they are usually solved separately. The gaps between them are where growth slows.
Supply that fits the market
Brands, manufacturers and sellers whose products match local demand and channel standards.
Onboarding and localization
Catalog, content and operating requirements prepared for local shoppers before products go live.
Local operations
Daily work that keeps supply listed, priced and available — carried by someone in the market.
Supply and fulfillment behind growth
As demand grows, the supply and fulfillment set-up has to grow with it.
Operating Model
Each stage of marketplace growth is connected to the one after it, with the GSS role stated at every step.
01 · Supply
Brands, manufacturers and sellers with products for Saudi shoppers.
GSS roleActivates and qualifies supply from across the network.
02 · Onboarding
Supply brought onto the marketplace with localized catalog and content.
GSS roleOnboarding, catalog localization and operating requirements.
03 · Channel
Trendyol Saudi Arabia — where shoppers discover and buy.
GSS roleCoordinates local market operations alongside the marketplace.
04 · Fulfillment
Orders fulfilled to the channel’s delivery promise.
GSS roleConnects growth to the supply and fulfillment set-up behind it.
05 · Customer
Shoppers in Saudi Arabia.
ChannelThe marketplace owns the customer relationship.
Where scale supports it, supply can move from cross-border to deeper local operations — stock, operating roles and fulfillment in the market.
GSS Role
Activating supply
Bringing brands, manufacturers and sellers to the marketplace as a supply program, not one integration at a time.
Connecting brands and sellers
Onboarding supply partners with the documentation, content and operating readiness the marketplace requires.
Localizing catalog and operating requirements
Product data, content and listing standards prepared for shoppers in Saudi Arabia.
Coordinating local market operations
The daily operating work that keeps supply live, priced and available.
Connecting growth to supply and fulfillment
Marketplace growth matched by the supply and fulfillment set-up behind it.
Execution Network
Marketplaces in this case

Outcome
An active marketplace infrastructure and operating relationship with Trendyol Saudi Arabia.
Supply, onboarding and local operations connected as one operating model around marketplace growth.
A model that lets supply move from cross-border to deeper local operations where scale supports it.
What It Proves
Supply, onboarding and local operations can be connected into one operating model — so a marketplace grows in a new market through a supply ecosystem, not through seller integrations one at a time.

Success Story · Retail & pharmacy
GSS connects digital commerce operation with assortment development and new supply pathways — linking pharmacy retail in Saudi Arabia to the Türkiye sourcing network.
Starting Point
Al Mujtama Pharmacies is a pharmacy retailer in Saudi Arabia. GSS works with Al Mujtama in a retail and pharmacy commerce relationship that spans digital growth, category development and sourcing.
That breadth is the point of the case: the digital channel, the range on the shelf and the supply behind it are treated as one piece of work.
Challenge
For a pharmacy retailer, growing online is only part of the question. Shoppers look for categories and products the range may not yet include — and filling those gaps needs new supply, not only a stronger digital channel.
Digital operation
Marketplace and online channels that need to be run every day, not only launched.
Category gaps
Categories and products shoppers look for that the current range does not yet cover.
New supply
Sources for those categories that the existing supply base does not reach.
One operating model
Commerce and supply decisions that have to be made together, not by separate teams.
Operating Model
Three streams of work converge on one pharmacy offer. The Türkiye sourcing connection turns a category gap into a supply pathway.
Digital commerce
Marketplace and online channel operation for the pharmacy.
Category development
Category gaps identified from the current range and what shoppers look for.
New supply pathways
Products sourced through the Türkiye sourcing network to address those gaps.
TürkiyeThe Gulf

Execution Network
Outcome
Digital commerce growth work for the pharmacy.
Category-gap development, opening additional category and assortment pathways.
A connection to the Türkiye sourcing network as a new supply pathway.
A coordinated operating model across commerce and supply.
What It Proves
For a retailer, digital growth, category development and new supply pathways are one operating problem — and a commerce corridor from Türkiye to the Gulf can be part of the answer.

Success Story · Brand commerce operations
GSS as a specialist commerce operating layer that connects digital channels, local execution and performance control for a global brand.
Starting Point
Unilever is a global brand. In Saudi Arabia and the wider region, GSS works with Unilever in a brand commerce operations relationship.
Challenge
A global brand works to global standards for its range, content and pricing. Digital channels in each market need daily local execution against those standards — and the brand needs to see how that execution performs.

Cross-Border Commerce
Global Commerce Infrastructure Across Europe, Türkiye and the Gulf.
Cross-border commerce is not a shipment. It is a coordinated operating system — product, orders, money and returns, run as one.
Supply
GSS Cross-Border Commerce Layer
Market Access — run by GSS
Entry model and channel access; import roles arranged directly or through validated local partners.
Technology — run by GSS
Products, orders, inventory and channels on one commerce layer.
Commerce Operations — run by GSS
Catalog, pricing, promotions and customer operations.
Compliance — orchestrated by GSS, delivered with partners where needed
Product, labelling and documentation requirements per market.
Cross-Border Logistics — orchestrated by GSS, delivered with partners where needed
Line haul, express and customs coordination between zones.
Inventory — orchestrated by GSS, delivered with partners where needed
Stock positioned in origin or destination, GSS-operated or partner-held.
Fulfillment — orchestrated by GSS, delivered with partners where needed
GSS-operated where available, partner-delivered elsewhere.
Payments / Settlement coordination — orchestrated by GSS, delivered with partners where needed
Channel settlements, fees and adjustments reconciled.
Data — run by GSS
One view of listings, orders, stock and performance.
Returns — orchestrated by GSS, delivered with partners where needed
Reverse flow, inspection and disposition coordinated.
Demand
GSS does not need to own every layer. GSS makes every layer work together.
Six stages take a product from a source market to a customer in another zone — and, when the numbers justify it, into local operations.
01
Set up the commerce relationship.
02
Make products ready to sell.
03
Enter the destination market through the appropriate cross-border model.
04
Run every flow through one operating layer.
05
Move proven demand closer — when economics justify it.
06
Grow what works.
Physical product, order data, money and returns move differently — through different parties, in different directions — but they are orchestrated through one GSS operating layer.
Physical goods
Solid line
Order data
Dotted line
Payment and settlement
Double line
Reverse flow
Dashed line, reverse direction
Model view. Which party carries each step — and which corridors are active — is agreed per market and program. Import roles are arranged directly or through validated local partners.
Market entry starts light. Evidence comes before localization. Local stock and deeper infrastructure are earned by demand and economics — and scale can extend into neighboring markets.
Test
Enter light. Stock stays in the origin market and orders ship cross-border.
Prove
Measure demand, channel fit and unit economics before committing stock.
Localize only when demand and economics are proven
Localize
When the evidence supports it, stock, operating roles and fulfillment move into the market.
Scale
Deepen assortment and channels, then extend into neighboring markets.
Localization is never a day-one requirement. Many markets stay cross-border for as long as that is the better model.
Choose your role. The journey, the split of work between you, GSS and partners, the proof and the next step all change with it.
