Collaborative Logistics within the Same Industry

3PL services have until now provided independent system development and solutions to individual companies, however, we now offer a shared logistics service for multiple companies within the same industry in order to further increase efficiency and lower the environment load. Through our logistics services, we support and help to realize efficient activities with low environmental impacts within an industry.

Our service best fits the following customers:

  • Customers who are moving beyond stand-alone improvements for a company to considering logistics improvements of a wider scope.
  • Customers who are considering improving the logistical efficiency of the industry as a whole and would like to subsequently implement such measures.
  • Customers who are considering verifying and working on the reduction of logistics costs and environment load through standardization rather than the differentiation of logistics.

Outline of Services

We provide collaborative logistics services, such as shared storage and shared deliveries within the same industry, by constructing a standardized infrastructure (platform) consisting of information systems, logistic centers and delivery networks for each industry.

Consideration of environmental issues

Our service reduces the number of required delivery vehicles by improving loading efficiency through shared delivery, thus significantly contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions from trucks and the alleviation of traffic congestion, while reducing logistics costs and improving service levels simultaneously. The "East Japan PFC (Platform Center)," opened in April 2005, reduces the required amount of delivery vehicles by 20%.

Our service received the Chairperson's Award of Eco-Products Awards Steering Committee in the Eco-Services category at the 2nd Eco-Products Awards held in November 2005.
