Willbox creates the industry’s first “logistics economic zone” *In order to promote economic activities in international logistics, Willbox will form a logistics economic zone and aim to strengthen mutual relationships and economic activities. *
This press release is a dream sent out by a business operator who sympathizes with the April Dream project and wants to make April 1st a day full of dreams, hoping to make them come true.
Willbox supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st the day to share your dreams. This press release is a Willbox dream.
Willbox Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative: Makoto Kami, hereinafter referred to as “Willbox”), which develops and operates an international logistics platform, has established a “Logistics Economic Zone” to promote economic
cooperation and collaboration in the logistics industry. We aim to form. By creating a logistics economic zone, we will promote mutual relationships among shippers, logistics operators, and forwarders and strengthen economic activities.
* Challenge is the industry structure without “standards” *
The progress of digitalization in the international logistics field has been slow, and logistics operators on the ground are mainly doing manual work, leading to prolonged disruption due to the impact of logistics crises and the external environment. Additionally, multiple subcontracting structures are becoming more common.
On the other hand, shippers are also unable to optimize their logistics, making it difficult to build their ideal logistics network. These challenges are common throughout the industry, and are caused by the diversity of logistics, the large number of people involved, and the structure that prevents shippers and logistics operators from directly connecting.
* Developing a platform that directly connects shippers and logistics operators to transform the industry *
Giho Sea
Container EC
At Willbox, the cause of all problems in the logistics industry is “a structure in which shippers and distributors are not directly connected.”
We believe that it is important to change this structure itself, rather than incorporating digital into existing business practices. Therefore, we have developed a matching platform, Giho, which specializes in maritime transportation and allows shippers and logistics companies to connect directly.
We have developed “Container EC,” which allows you to arrange container space directly from shipping companies, and provide a new form of logistics.
In order to solve various problems in the logistics industry, it is necessary to change the structure of the industry itself, and by using the platform provided by Willbox, both parties will collaborate for the first time, creating a new structure in which “logistics operators and shippers directly connect.” It is now possible to create.
* Further promote logistics DX and create a logistics economic zone. * In the future, we will use Giho Sea, a platform specializing in air transportation, based on the existing Giho Sea.
Air” is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2024. Furthermore, a new Willbox bonded packing area will be established next to the runway, creating a new air transportation route where all work from packaging to stacking ULDs can be completed within the airport. We are also developing new packaging materials that can be recombined and eliminate the need for wood consumption and contribute to the SDGs.
In the future, Willbox will form a logistics economic zone to promote economic cooperation and collaboration in the logistics industry and promote economic activities in international logistics. We aim to advance the economic integration of logistics and strengthen mutual relationships and economic activities.
