Features of joint delivery

Reduce costs through consolidated shipping.
Products in the same category are consolidated and delivered to each destination in a single shipment. This improves delivery efficiency and reduces costs.

Utilizing buffer warehouses allows for response even in emergencies.
By using a buffer warehouse for standard products in conjunction with a joint distribution center, we can also respond to emergencies.

We provide comprehensive services from collection to trunk line transportation and route delivery.
We combine milk run collection, warehouse management, route delivery, and information systems to create a fully integrated delivery system from start to finish. We also offer a wide range of optional services, such as printing delivery slips and managing receipt collection.
Joint delivery system
Here's a look at the changes before and after the introduction of the milk run system. *The diagrams below are available in Japanese only.
Before (Individual Delivery)
If producers (manufacturers) handle deliveries individually, inefficient transportation results in separate logistics costs for each party. Furthermore, since receiving shipments must be done individually, it places a significant burden on the recipients.
After (joint delivery implemented)
By consolidating products of the same category or by delivery destination and shipping them in a single shipment, we achieve more efficient and cost-effective delivery.
Furthermore, by using a buffer warehouse for standard products in conjunction with the joint distribution center, it becomes possible to respond to emergencies as well.
