First Logi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kazutoshi Nakamura), which provides logistics services for e-commerce operators primarily dealing with cosmetics, quasi-drugs, hair care products, supplements, and health foods, has integrated its logistics bases, "Logiminal Kashiwa (First Center and Second Center)," into a single facility. This expansion has increased the total floor area from approximately 2,100 tsubo to about 4,200 tsubo.

This enables a shipping capacity of 25,000 cases per day and 750,000 cases per month, aiming to optimize costs and achieve stable logistics operations for e-commerce operators.

Background of Warehouse Relocation

In recent years, the e-commerce market in the cosmetics and health food sectors has continued to expand, increasing the importance of flexible logistics systems that can handle SKU increases and fluctuations in shipping volumes.

On the other hand, challenges such as increased logistics costs and shipping delays have become apparent due to dispersed inventory across multiple locations, inter-site transfers, and information transmission losses.

Against this backdrop, our company has centralized logistics functions and expanded its facilities to build a more efficient and flexible logistics system.

Through this initiative, we aim to optimize logistics costs, improve service quality, and strengthen shipping speed, in line with our corporate philosophy of "continuing to be a convenient company for our customers."

Cost Reduction and Improved Shipping Efficiency through Centralized Management

This initiative is expected to bring the following benefits:

* Ability to handle sudden increases in orders with a daily shipping system of 25,000 cases. * Stable operations during peak seasons with a monthly shipping capacity of 750,000 cases. * Scalability to flexibly respond to SKU increases and new product launches (capable of handling 100 to 5,000 SKUs per client). * Optimization of logistics costs by reducing inter-site transfers. * Shortening of shipping lead times and reduction of mis-shipments and operational errors.

Furthermore, by consolidating bases, we will promote the visualization of inventory and shipping status, supporting prompt decision-making for e-commerce operators as "visible logistics."
