Nagao Unso Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Settsu City, Osaka Prefecture) announced the completion of its head office rebuilding and the establishment of a new logistics hub, 'Nagao LC (Logistics Center),' in March 2026, with operations scheduled to begin in May.

This initiative is a strategic investment aimed not only at strengthening storage capacity but also at implementing our logistics brand concept, 'N-BASE,' which goes beyond mere transportation. We have established a system that integrates delivery, storage, and distribution processing to optimize the entire logistics operations for our shipper clients.

What is the N-BASE Concept?

'N-BASE' is a service platform designed to achieve 'logistics that doesn't just end with transportation.'

At 'Nagao LC,' goods are stored and then delivered via the optimal route using Yojikan-bin and N-Combo-bin services.

The delivery routes are selected by an 'AI system × professional dispatcher' through the 'Omakase Route Service.'

By combining delivery functions with storage and processing functions, and an AI for efficient route selection, we eliminate logistics fragmentation and reduce the operational burden on shipper clients.

What are Nagao Unso's 'Yojikan-bin' and 'N-Combo-bin'?

Yojikan-bin (Time-based Charter Service)

Nagao Unso 'Yojikan-bin' Service

New charter transportation available in 4-hour increments

'Yojikan-bin' is a time-based charter service available in 4-hour increments. Unlike traditional 'full-day rental' charter transportation, it allows vehicles to be secured only for the necessary time, enabling flexible operation while suppressing excessive costs. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it meets diverse needs such as increased capacity during peak seasons, emergency deliveries, event搬入/搬出, and short-term intensive deliveries.

With a clear pricing system segmented by delivery time slots, companies can simultaneously achieve visualization and optimization of logistics costs. Furthermore, by utilizing dispatch data, efficient route design is performed, providing stable transportation quality.

N-Combo-bin (Small-lot Joint Delivery Service)

Nagao Unso 'N-Combo-bin' Service

Optimal solution for small-lot joint delivery in the Kansai area

'N-Combo-bin' is a small-lot joint delivery service with 'newspapers,' capable of handling from a single case. It is designed to handle goods that are difficult for regular route services and cases requiring flexibility, while keeping costs lower than charter services.

By jointly delivering goods from multiple shippers in the same vehicle, loading efficiency is increased, and delivery unit costs are suppressed. Furthermore, by linking with Nagao LC's storage function, it can handle shipment adjustments after temporary storage and consolidated shipments. This solves issues of inventory dispersion and inefficient small-lot deliveries, supporting the rationalization of overall logistics.

Three-in-One Model: Delivery × Storage × Processing

Nagao LC handles not only delivery but also distribution processing operations such as inspection, sorting, labeling, and kitting. By centrally managing operations from inbound to processing and outbound, it prevents fragmentation of logistics processes, shortens lead times, and improves operational efficiency.

By unifying operations traditionally separated into 'storage companies,' 'processing companies,' and 'delivery companies,' it leads not only to cost reduction but also to reduced management burden and improved quality.

Future Outlook

The logistics industry is undergoing structural changes such as fragmentation, increased frequency, and the '2024 problem.' Nagao Unso will strengthen not only its 'transportation capacity' but also its 'logistics design capability' starting from Nagao LC, evolving into a partner company that supports the business growth of shipper clients. Moving forward, under the 'N-BASE' concept, we will continue to expand high-value-added logistics services and contribute to the realization of sustainable logistics in the Kansai area.
