3PL / Logistics
Importance of 3PL in Japan
Logistics is an essential and important part of e-commerce.
The problem that many e-commerce businesses are facing at the moment is that they are being asked to take on the role of both traditional “wholesale businesses” and “courier businesses” at the same time.
However, for EC businesses, logistics is not their main business, and in theory, their main business should be retail, but the services of major EC businesses have been standardized, and the reality is that it has become impossible to match the resources of people, goods, money and information needed to handle all the processes required for EC logistics in-house to that level.
Amazon and Rakuten Logistics were the first to foresee this issue and to fully commit to the logistics domain from the outset.
For many other specialist EC businesses, it is difficult to take on logistics themselves due to the scale of their business. For this reason, we believe it is important to outsource using the traditional combination of “3PL provider + courier service provider”, and to focus on expanding your business with the aim of reducing “logistics costs as a percentage of sales”.
In recent years, more and more companies are working to improve their management by strategically outsourcing their logistics functions through the establishment of supply chain management (SCM) systems, with the aim of differentiating themselves from their competitors.
By leaving all of your logistics-related operations to us, you can reduce your overall logistics costs and inventory, and improve your customer satisfaction.
At our company, logistics costs continue to increase due to the diversification of customer needs, such as for a wide variety of products, high frequency, and small lots. We propose the optimal logistics system for our customers based on the know-how we have accumulated over many years as a third party (a third-party company with specialized know-how).
What we do
-
Receiving and Storage
When the products ordered by the manufacturer arrive at the warehouse, we check the quantity, inspect them, process the arrival, and then reflect them in the warehouse management system (WMS). Because the system is managed in the cloud, it is possible to check the inventory online at any time.
-
Picking and packaging
Online shop orders are automatically imported at regular intervals (every 10 minutes when connected via API). Since we ship orders as they come in, there is no risk of errors in the order information or shipping slips, or of sending the wrong items to the wrong address, and we can ensure that all orders are shipped without fail.
-
Shipping arrangements and shipping
We arrange shipping with either Japan Post, Sagawa Express, Yamato Transport, and Seino Transport, depending on your needs, and process the shipment. Orders placed by 2pm will be shipped the same day, so we can handle same-day delivery, Prime, and Asu-tsuku.

The strengths of our 3PL service
Constant improvement, constant progress
In a market where companies are actually exposed to competition, many companies try to find “wins” and “losses” in their business (infinite game theory). This is fundamentally wrong, and they focus on whether they are “advancing” or “receding” to increase sales.
Thorough communication
When implementing measures, launching campaigns, or when problems arise... we will always keep in mind the importance of communication and working together to move forward.
SPEED and ACCURACY
In a constantly changing market, past success stories often become obsolete. We support you in starting something new with an emphasis on accuracy and speed.
