Value centers in the producing countries
We set up a value center in the overseas producing country from which the customer purchases the products. The center has functions including storage, buyer’s consolidation, sorting/shipping to individual delivery destination, and value added service. It increases the efficiency of the entire supply chain by building the supply system according to the customer’s demands, standardizing inventories and reducing procurement costs.

Supply chain information visualization system
The most burdensome tasks in the trading process are to organize the information on production, shipment, and transport, which are accumulated by the correspondence among suppliers and forwarding vendors, and to manage the status of such information. It takes time and manpower to check the production progress and shipment schedule, keep track of unclear vessel schedule, and organize paper documents that include invoices and B/Ls being received one by one.
We assist the customer’s supply chain management through the information visualization system M-LINK which enables the centralization of merchandise flow, shipping information, and related documents.
Concept of the supply chain information visualization system
Procurement Planning System
When an existing operational infrastructure cannot keep up with the changes in the business environment and a planning operation depends on particular intuitions and experiences of individuals, the business might face some problems in actual operations, such as excess stock, discard, discount sales, stockout, unscheduled transfer, and inefficient transport.
With our Procurement Planning System, we make and provide the optimal order/supply plans using the customer’s demand forecast and past results data.
