Introduction
In response to the growing demand for used office furniture in Japan, Office Busters, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has significantly expanded its inventory to include approximately 70,000 items. Their two primary distribution centers, the Eastern Japan Circular Base (ECB) in Kashiwa, Chiba, and the Western Japan Circular Base (WCB) in Osaka City, have consolidated their stocks to ensure they can meet the high demand that typically arises during the end-of-financial-year office relocations, layout changes, and mergers. This move not only showcases the scale of Office Busters’ operation but also highlights their commitment to meeting customer needs efficiently.
Inventory Expansion
Previously known for maintaining a stock of 60,000 items, Office Busters has now surpassed this figure, allowing them to offer a wider range of used office furniture from major manufacturers such as Okamura, Itoki, Kokuyo, and Plus. This expanded inventory includes desks, chairs, lockers, filing cabinets, and even OA equipment, providing customers with a comprehensive selection that meets various business requirements.
As the end of March approaches, a peak period for corporate reorganizations and office upgrades, firms often find themselves anxious about whether their desired items will be available in sufficient quantities. Office Busters is well-positioned to alleviate this concern by ensuring a readily available supply of essential office furniture at competitive prices. This proactive approach is designed to match the needs of corporations, offices, and individuals looking to procure office furniture during a time of heightened demand.
Combining Forces at ECB and WCB
The ECB in Kashiwa acts as a critical hub, housing the majority of the inventory. This facility not only stores but also handles cleaning, maintenance, inspection, and shipping of the office furniture, providing a robust supply chain that meets large-scale orders. In contrast, the WCB in Osaka focuses on refreshing, inspecting, packaging, and shipping used office furniture throughout Western Japan, including the Chubu, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu regions. This strategic geographical distribution allows Office Busters to significantly reduce lead times for deliveries and support complex projects that span across multiple regions.
By leveraging both ECB and WCB along with their nationwide network of 41 stores, Office Busters can efficiently distribute inventory while minimizing logistical bottlenecks. Companies can expect tailored services that account for regional characteristics and office cultures, ultimately promoting smooth project execution and office setup.
Unique Circular Facility Management®
Central to Office Busters' philosophy is their proprietary Circular Facility Management® approach. Rather than merely deciding between buying new items or not, this method encourages businesses to consider:
- - Reusing existing furniture and equipment
- - Circulating and repurposing used office furniture
- - Buying back unwanted items and ensuring appropriate disposal
- - Integrating new furnishings as necessary
This holistic strategy not only optimizes costs but also reduces the environmental impact associated with office relocations and remodels. With a steady inventory of around 70,000 items and efficient logistics anchored by ECB and WCB, Office Busters provides significant advantages such as:
- - Cost savings on initial investments (potentially reducing costs by up to 90% in some instances)
- - Lower waste disposal and storage expenses through furniture repurposing
- - Diminished carbon emissions by reducing manufacturing and transportation impacts
- - Operational efficiencies driven by realistic layout planning based on available inventory data
Addressing Common Challenges
Businesses often face pressure to reassess their office layouts, especially at the fiscal year-end. Common scenarios impacting companies include:
- - Relocation or consolidation of headquarters and key offices
- - Replacing chairs and desks due to the implementation of hybrid or flexible working arrangements
- - Reallocating furniture due to site closures or expansions
For these organizations, Office Busters offers a supports framework that encompasses inventory, logistics, and design services, all while tapping into their unique Circular Facility Management® expertise. This comprehensive service allows for seamless planning and execution of office-related projects, from furniture selection to installation.
For companies worried about stock availability as they approach fiscal year-end, or those struggling with large order demands due to project scale, consulting Office Busters before opting for disposal or new purchases can make a significant difference. Their entire operation is designed to support businesses looking to maximize efficiency and sustainability in their office environments.
