transcosmos (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and COO: Masataka Okuda) and transcosmos research and development, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President: Shohei Shimoda) will launch “SPEEDLOGI,” a warehouse outsourcing service designed for the e-commerce business powered by Shopify, in June, 2020. In delivering the service, the two companies will leverage their knowledge and experience in Shopify as two of the only five certified “Shopify Plus Partner” companies in Japan. Against the backdrop of the significant growth of the e-commerce market in recent years, many companies face various challenges. One of the key challenges is warehousing operations for the e-commerce business that traditional logistic centers between stores and companies have difficulty to manage. To solve such a challenge and let businesses outsource warehousing operations even for a small-lot order, the two companies have built the service by standardizing, automating, labor-saving and unmanning the required operations with the power of technology.

* On behalf of clients, transcosmos will handle all warehousing operations including storage, inventory management and order processing, in collaboration with its “E-Commerce One-Stop Center.”

All clients need to do is select required information on the Shopify app “SPEEDLOGI” and check in their products to the warehouse. No tiresome agreement with a warehousing company or arrangements with a delivery company are required. The service is available from four pallets, enabling clients to start with a small-lot inventory and gradually scale up their e-commerce business. With this approach, clients can expand their e-commerce business smoothly as it takes off without changing the warehouse. What’s more, SPEEDLOGI lets e-commerce website operators complete all necessary operations from receiving orders to delivering products to the hands of customers with just one-click. By simply placing a check mark on Shopify app “SPEEDLOGI,” clients can check shipping and inventory status. All in all, SPEEDLOGI, the warehousing and delivery outsourcing service, enables clients to reduce operational costs of their e-commerce team whilst ensuring operational quality.
