Centralized global inventory management utilizing regional ports and a hub in Busan, South Korea.

NX transports goods by sea from regional ports throughout Japan to Busan Port, where inventory is consolidated at its own bonded warehouse, "Busan Global Logistics Center (BGLC)," located in Busan New Port.
This solution efficiently manages inventory destined for multiple overseas countries by utilizing a high-frequency, multi-destination maritime network originating from Busan Port, while simultaneously reducing domestic long-distance transportation.
We address Japan's logistics challenges, such as driver shortages, longer transport distances, port congestion, and disaster risks, and support the construction of a stable global supply chain.

Implementation effects

  • Shortening domestic transport distances by utilizing regional ports.

    By utilizing local ports closer to the origin and destination of shipments, we reduce long-distance drayage to major ports. This addresses the shortage of long-haul drivers and contributes to controlling domestic transportation costs and reducing CO₂ emissions.

  • Global inventory management through the Busan hub warehouse.

    By consolidating inventory at our own bonded warehouse in Busan, we centrally manage inventory for multiple countries. Utilizing direct and high-frequency shipping services originating from Busan Port, we achieve shorter lead times and a stable supply system.

  • Avoiding port congestion and efficient transportation planning

    By utilizing regional ports, it's possible to avoid port congestion and waiting times that often occur at major ports. This reduces delays at ports and allows for the creation of more planned and efficient transportation schedules.

  • We provide comprehensive services from distribution processing to packaging in bonded areas.

    Busan Global Logistics Center handles bonded storage as well as related services such as sorting, distribution processing, packaging, labeling, and instruction manual insertion. It allows for single-point management from collection to shipment, reducing workload and improving operational efficiency.
