 <\/p>\n

\u25a0 Development Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

"Digitrad Forwarding" is a digital forwarding system developed with an emphasis on the perspective of logistics companies. As the wave of digital transformation to improve operational efficiency sweeps over the logistics industry, major companies are developing and utilizing their own systems. However, because they have focused on systemization at "points," smooth horizontal collaboration inside and outside the company has not been achieved, and inefficiencies in operations have become an issue.<\/p>\n

According to interviews with major logistics companies, half of their working hours each day are spent checking and responding to emails and phone calls.<\/p>\n

Even when it comes to introducing new DX systems, many logistics companies are hesitant due to the risks of changing existing operations, and these challenges are leading to delays in promoting DX and improving business efficiency across the industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25a0 Overview of "Digitrad Forwarding"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Digitrad Forwarding aims to solve the problems faced by both shippers and logistics companies (forwarders). Shippers can instantly obtain and review logistics cost estimates online, which previously took several days to a week to obtain.<\/p>\n

In addition, after checking the rough estimate, customers can proceed to the actual ordering process directly from the same platform. For logistics companies, this significantly reduces the effort required to create a huge number of estimates with unknown accuracy, allowing them to allocate resources only to projects with high accuracy.<\/p>\n

Digitrad Forwarding also uses a ticket system that allows for centralized management of each project on the platform, from requesting quotes and placing orders to communication between staff members.<\/p>\n

The "Ticket" system was developed exclusively by Standage and allows for the management of all correspondence, including attached documents, by case, as well as the ability to communicate with internal and external staff via chat.<\/p>\n

The official version that has just been released features rates from a total of 10 companies, including major international logistics companies Nissin Corporation and Mitsubishi Logistics Corporation (listed in alphabetical order) as of October 2011, and users can enter various conditions and obtain approximate quotes from each company.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From each participating company:"We feel that it is extremely convenient, as it has made interactions with shippers more efficient. In addition, since March we have been fully rolling out our digital forwarding service, Forward ONE, and we expect that it will be a good fit for us, as it will serve as a new channel and touchpoint for customers to learn about our services."<\/strong>(Mr. Yutaka Nakagawa, Logistics DX Promotion Office, Business Strategy Department, Nissin Corporation)"We were concerned that making it easier to compare prices with other companies would have more drawbacks than advantages, but we have been given a new perspective as it is a system that attracts customers with a sophisticated UI. We hope that by using this system, we will be able to develop a more diverse customer base."<\/strong>(Masuda Koji, Planning and Operations Department, Mitsubishi Logistics Corporation)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25a0 Future outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the 10 companies currently listed, discussions are underway with several other logistics companies to provide rates, with the aim of making it possible to obtain and compare approximate quotes from more than 50 companies on the system by 2024.<\/p>\n

We are also currently providing information to the main users, shippers and trading companies, through Standage and participating logistics companies, and expect to gain 10,000 users by 2022.<\/p>\n

Standage will continue to strive to realize a world where all countries around the world have equal access to everything, and will continue to work on developing and providing a trade DX platform that brings together all players involved in the trading industry and propels the entire trading industry to the next stage.<\/p>\n

\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u25a0Background of Development<\/strong>
\r\n\r\n\"Digitrad Forwarding\" is a digitized logistics forwarding system developed with an on-the-ground perspective of a logistics company in mind. As the wave of business efficiency improvement through DX is sweeping through the logistics industry, major logistics companies are developing and utilizing their own systems, but the \"inward\" systematization of their systems has prevented smooth horizontal collaboration within and outside the company, resulting in inefficiencies in operations.

\r\n\r\nAccording to interviews with a major logistics company, half of their daily work hours are spent checking and responding to e-mails and phone calls.

\r\n\r\nMany logistics companies are hesitant to introduce new DX systems due to the risk of changing their existing operations, and these issues are leading to delays in DX promotion and operational efficiency in the industry as a whole.

\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u25a0Outline of Digitrad Forwarding<\/strong>
\r\n\r\n\"Digitrad Forwarding\" aims to solve the problems of both shippers and logistics companies (forwarders). Shippers can immediately retrieve and consider logistics cost estimates online, whereas it used to take several days to a week to obtain such estimates.

\r\n\r\nAfter confirming a estimate, shippers can proceed directly to the main order process on the same platform. For logistics companies, this will lead to a significant reduction in the amount of labor required to prepare estimates for a huge volume of uncertain costs, allowing them to devote their resources to only those projects with a high degree of certainty.

\r\n\r\nIn addition, Digitrad Forwarding employs a \"ticket\" system that allows centralized management of each case on the platform, from the request for quotation and order placement to the communication between the parties in charge.

\r\n\r\nThe \"ticket\" system, developed independently by Standage, allows for the management of all correspondence, including attachments, for each project, as well as chat-style communication with internal and external personnel.

\r\n\r\nThe official version of the system, which has been launched this time, is equipped with rates for a total of 10 companies, including Nisshin Corporation and Mitsubishi Logistics Corporation (in alphabetical order), two major international logistics companies as of October 2023, and enables users to obtain rough estimates from each company after entering various conditions.

\r\n\r\nParticipating companies commented,

\r\n\r\n\"We feel that the service is highly convenient as it streamlines our interactions with shippers. In addition, we have been fully deploying our digital forwarding service, Forward ONE, since March, and we expect it to have a high affinity with our service as a new flow route and customer contact point for our customers to learn about our service\" (Mr. Minoru Nakagawa, Logistics DX Promotion Office, Business Strategy Department, Nisshin Co.)

\r\n\r\n\u201dWe were concerned that the ease of comparing rates with other companies would have more disadvantages than advantages, but the sophisticated UI has renewed our belief that this is a system that will attract customers. We expect that this system will help us develop a diverse customer base\" (Mr. Koji Masuda, Planning & Operations Department, Mitsubishi Warehouse Co.)

\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u25a0Future Prospects<\/strong>
\r\n\r\nIn addition to the 10 companies that participated in this project, we are in discussions with several more logistics companies to provide rates, and we aim to enable the acquisition and comparison of rough estimates from more than 50 companies through this system by the end of 2024.

\r\n\r\nFurthermore, Standage and the participating logistics companies are also working to provide information to shippers and trading companies that will be the main users of the system, and expect to acquire 10,000 users by the end of 2024.

\r\n\r\nStandage will continue to work on the development and provision of a trade DX platform that will bring together all players in the trade industry and push the entire trade industry to the next generation stage, aiming to realize a world where all countries around the world have equal access to all things.
