By setting a fixed, long lead time, we can also achieve low costs.
Amidst the increasing risk of transportation disruptions due to natural disasters and unforeseen events, our flexible delivery schedules absorb the impact of delays and increased alternative transportation costs during disasters, ensuring your supply chain remains uninterrupted.
In addition to fixed long-term delivery dates (delivery on the 7th or 8th day after collection) to improve the reliability of transportation, we offer low freight rates. This low-cost transportation service is ideal for "non-urgent cargo" that allows customers to plan their procurement, manufacturing, and sales over the long term.
By utilizing cargo in transit as "consignment inventory," excess inventory at both the origin and destination is eliminated, reducing storage costs and storage space. Consignment inventory information can be tracked using Railway Container NAVI.
By utilizing rail transport, which emits approximately 1/11th the CO2 of trucks, we can address the challenges of decarbonization and the shortage of truck drivers while simultaneously achieving low-cost transportation.
