Hacobu Enhances "Data Analysis Agent for MOVO Berth" to Support Mid-to-Long Term Logistics Efficiency Plans and Legal Compliance with AI

Hacobu Inc., which solves logistics challenges with the power of data, has launched the "Mid-to-Long Term Plan Formulation Support" function within its "Data Analysis Agent for MOVO Berth."

This functional enhancement will support the formulation of mid-to-long term plans for logistics efficiency, which will be a legal obligation for shippers of a certain scale or larger by the end of October 2026.

Background for Function Provision: Mid-to-Long Term Plans for Legal Compliance, Practical Burden is a Challenge

To address the worsening shortage of truck drivers in the logistics sector, the revised Logistics Efficiency Act will fully come into effect in April 2026. This requires "Specified Shippers" handling 90,000 tons or more of cargo annually to submit mid-to-long term plans. The submission deadline is the end of October 2026.

These plans must define specific goals and plans for logistics efficiency, such as "reduction of waiting and loading/unloading times" and "improvement of loading efficiency."

Formulating these plans requires collecting and organizing data such as waiting and loading/unloading times for each base, identifying issues, and designing measures. The dispersion of data and the personalization of analysis have made plan formulation time-consuming. Therefore, Hacobu has enhanced the "Data Analysis Agent for MOVO Berth" to support the formulation of mid-to-long term plans.
