Addressing Logistics Shortages and Stricter Regulations: Aidiot’s 'CLO Compass' Begins Supervision by the Japan Logistics System Association

Overview Aidiot, a provider of cutting-edge logistics technology for supply chain optimization, signed a supervision agreement with the Japan Logistics System Association (JILS) on May 1, 2026, for its logistics DX service, 'CLO Compass.'

Through this agreement, the company will establish a framework to incorporate JILS's insights into service development and operations.

Amidst forecasts of up to a 34% shortage in transportation capacity by 2030 due to overtime labor regulations for drivers, the initiative aims to assist companies with regulatory compliance and logistics optimization through industry-informed digital transformation.

Background of the Supervision Agreement Japan's domestic logistics industry is facing a structural turning point characterized by driver shortages, rising fuel costs, and complex supply chains. With overtime regulations for truck drivers, implemented since April 2024, studies estimate a nationwide transportation capacity shortage of approximately 34.1% by 2030 if no countermeasures are taken.

In many cases, logistics DX is hindered by tools being introduced without clear objectives, leading to a gap between technology and operational realities. To address this, Aidiot and JILS will continuously integrate industry expertise into the functions and operation of 'CLO Compass.'

Key Improvements Under JILS Supervision - Highly Independent Supervision: By incorporating research insights and neutral perspectives from a public interest incorporated association, the service will be developed in alignment with on-site realities. - Integration of On-Site Implementation and Research Insights: Combining Aidiot’s logistics DX development expertise with JILS’s investigative research, the collaboration will focus on practical functionality improvements. - Industry Expansion Through Seminars: Promoting understanding and sharing industry challenges through the planning and execution of logistics-related seminars.
