Addressing the growing complexity of the supply chain Consolidating business processes to improve resilience<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STANDAGE Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Akinori Adachi, hereinafter referred to as Standage), which develops and provides digital trade platforms, has started offering a new service called "Logify" together with Sankyu Co., Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Kimihiro Nakamura, hereinafter referred to as Sankyu) to improve the efficiency of parts procurement operations for the manufacturing industry. In the current unstable global situation, the supply chain structure has become more complex, making it increasingly important for the manufacturing industry to improve the efficiency of procurement operations. By combining Standage's digital technology with Sankyu's logistics functions, this service not only improves the efficiency of procurement operations, from parts ordering and inventory management to payment with suppliers, but also contributes to off-balancing inventory and improving cash flow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25a0 Background of the development of "Logicify"<\/strong>
\nStandage and Sankyu began their capital and business alliance in March 2020 and have been jointly developing solutions to improve trade and logistics operations, such as expanding sales channels in the manufacturing industry and streamlining logistics processes.
\nOn the other hand, the recent instability in the global situation has led manufacturers to reassess their supply chains, resulting in structures that are more complex and diverse, making it more important than ever to improve the efficiency and resilience of procurement operations.<\/p>\n

In the manufacturing industry, it is common for procurement tasks such as ordering, logistics, and payment to be managed using separate methods and systems. This means that each step of the process requires separate tasks and responses, making procurement operations cumbersome.<\/p>\n

Against this background, Standage and Sankyu brought together their respective strengths, and with the cooperation of major financial institutions on the financing side, they developed and provided "Logicify."
\nThis service will contribute to resolving procurement issues by consolidating different business processes into one contact point and establishing a scheme for integrated contracting and management between the two companies. In addition, by working with major financial institutions, it will also be possible to obtain the funds required for parts procurement in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

In a demonstration conducted prior to the launch of the service, the introduction of this service's mechanism succeeded in reducing procurement fees by 50% and procurement work time by 70%.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Overview of "Logicify"<\/strong>
\nThe service name "Logify" is a contraction of "logistics" and "finance."
\nThe specific services provided and the roles of the two companies are as follows:<\/p>\n

\u30fbService details<\/strong>
\n\u2460 Procurement agency:<\/strong>Parts ordering, logistics and inventory management
\n\u2461Provision of finance services:<\/strong>Payment with suppliers, off-balance sheet of parts inventory<\/p>\n

\u30fbRole of each company<\/strong>

\nSankyu:<\/strong>Import\/export customs clearance, storage and transportation related operations
\nPartner financial institutions:<\/strong>Providing usance through trade finance (debt assignment agreement)<\/p>\n

By providing and expanding this "Logify" service, Standage and Sankyu will contribute to improving the procurement operations of many manufacturing companies.<\/p>\n
