Introduction to BeeCruise's New Solutions

BeeCruise, a key player in the cross-border e-commerce market and a part of the BEENOS Group, has recently unveiled a series of new solutions aimed at empowering Japanese businesses to expand their international sales. With the increasing demand for Japanese products and the complexities surrounding online transactions, the new offerings are designed to address the distinct challenges faced by companies venturing into cross-border e-commerce.

Strengthening Cross-Border E-Commerce

According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the market size for cross-border e-commerce from Japan to the U.S. and China has surged from 208.6 billion yen in 2014 to an anticipated 441 billion yen in 2024. This growth reflects a growing interest among businesses in expanding their operations internationally, leading to a diversification of challenges that need to be tackled. Moreover, the ongoing appreciation of Japanese culture and products abroad, paired with a weaker yen, has made purchasing Japanese goods more appealing for international customers.

Despite the potential for growth, businesses often face stringent regulations regarding online transactions and export-import processes across various countries. Recognizing these barriers, BeeCruise aims to provide specialized knowledge in international logistics and sales strategies, ensuring that Japanese companies can successfully penetrate overseas markets.

About BeeCruise

BeeCruise has established itself as a leader in cross-border e-commerce over the past 15 years, supporting over 7,000 businesses. The company’s vision is to create a global platform that connects Japan with the world. It has continually adapted its services to meet the needs of domestic businesses, offering flexibility in support through initiatives like e-commerce setup, promotional support, social media operations, and business development in foreign markets.

Recently, to further enhance its support framework, BeeCruise has launched three specific new solutions tailored to the high-demand areas of e-commerce, distribution, and marketing:

1. E-Commerce Solutions: Buyee for E-Commerce

This solution lays the groundwork for cross-border e-commerce with services including "Buyee Connect", support for listing products on international e-commerce platforms, and international shipping logistics. Drawing on the expertise developed from operating a cross-border e-commerce business with an annual transaction volume of 100 billion yen, BeeCruise provides structured insights into logistics, payment systems, and customer support.

Example Use Cases:

• - Companies seeking to minimize internal resources while engaging in cross-border e-commerce.
• - Businesses looking to make products available for international purchase via their own sites.
• - Companies wanting to outsource international shipping to ease operational burdens.

2. Distribution Support: Buyee for Distribution

Leveraging its networks of leading e-commerce retailers and shops primarily in Asia, this solution aids businesses in identifying and developing optimal distribution channels for their products. BeeCruise takes on the cumbersome tasks related to logistics, customs, customer service, contract negotiations, and compliance with local regulations, making it easier for Japanese companies to navigate cross-border transactions without in-house expertise.

Example Use Cases:

• - Companies aiming to expand sales of high-demand products in overseas markets.
• - Businesses wishing to initiate wholesale operations without establishing a local subsidiary.
• - Enterprises looking to source products from foreign companies but lacking an overseas sales team.

3. Marketing Support: Buyee for Marketing

This solution focuses on understanding and visualizing potential fans in overseas markets through tailored marketing strategies, quantitative and qualitative surveys, and operational support. It helps identify product-user touchpoints and elucidates the reasons for success in new markets, accompanying brands as they launch internationally.

Example Use Cases:

• - Companies wanting to gain insights into overseas consumer behavior for marketing strategies.
• - Businesses wishing to leverage popular influencers in international markets.
• - Enterprises seeking to manage multilingual advertising campaigns and analytics.

Conclusion
