Introduction

On July 15, 2026, the renowned consultancy, Funai Soken Supply Chain Consulting (Funai Soken SC), will present as a guest speaker at the 'Logistics Efficiency Seminar', organized by OKI Electric Industry Co., Ltd. This event is aimed specifically at mid-sized shipping companies, addressing the urgent need for logistical optimization in a time of rising transportation costs.

Context and Purpose of the Seminar

As logistics costs surge, many companies find themselves in a precarious position. Sticking to existing operations may lead to escalating inefficiencies, especially in situations involving small-lot and high-frequency deliveries. This seminar will detail how leveraging OKI's shared delivery DX platform combined with Funai Soken SC's consulting expertise can help firms maintain lower costs, even with small shipments. It will also discuss steps for achieving a stable delivery network through regular shared delivery systems.

Participants facing limitations with their in-house delivery capabilities, struggling to find partners for joint shipping, or unsure about complying with the revised Logistics Efficiency Law (物流効率化法) regarding CO2 emission visibility will benefit from the practical insights offered in this seminar.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is highly recommended for businesses dealing with the following challenges:

• - Persistent issues with empty trucks and downtime alongside rising costs due to small-lot deliveries.
• - Difficulties related to the reliability and timeliness of freight services, making it hard to depend solely on traditional routes.
• - Uncertainty about how to share logistics responsibilities effectively or pursue partnerships for joint deliveries.
