About Logistics

Overview

By totally coordinating each function from procurement to sales, we enable the construction of optimal logistics tailored to each customer.

Logistics is based on the concept of providing “the right products, in the right quantity, at the right time” in activities involving the movement and storage of goods. By synchronizing supply activities with market demand and minimizing inventory levels, logistics management reduces excess stock and the losses associated with markdowns and stockouts. As a result, it enhances profitability and improves cash flow.

In this context, “synchronization” means aligning timing—simply put, supplying products in the quantities that are actually selling, precisely when they are needed. By maximizing profit and cash flow, this approach aims to ensure the effective utilization of management resources.

Key Points of Logistics

We view logistics as an integral part of our customers’ business strategy. From procurement to sales, we provide total coordination of logistics operations, aiming to build “optimal logistics” without being limited to our own assets, from a forwarding perspective.

For example, regarding imported products, we pursue a “total optimization” approach—appropriately leveraging not only our own assets but also the strengths of many alliance partners—to select the most efficient transportation modes and improve overall logistics efficiency for our customers.
