From the Silk Road to the age of shipping, trade routes have always moved more than goods\u2014they have spread culture and ideas. Today, logistics is a multi-trillion-dollar industry, covering everything from global shipping to the delivery of fresh food. In Japan, logistics plays a crucial role. Long supplying the world with everything from traditional crafts to cars and electronics, Japan\u2019s port cities such as Yokohama, Kobe and Nagoya have grown to become key trade hubs, with the latter alone handling over 150 million tons of cargo annually\u201488% of it destined for international markets.<\/p>\n

Within Nagoya\u2019s thriving logistics hub, solutions provider Trancom has long played a key role for 70 years, guided by its mission to \u201cConnect, Transport and Create,\u201d and is now focused on pressing challenges such as sustainability and labor shortages. As President Yasuhiro Jinno puts it, \u201cThe core idea of all the services we provide is efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a nationwide network which allows us to quickly respond to client needs, even in emergencies.\u201d
\n<\/strong>\u2013 Yasuhiro Jinno<\/strong><\/p>\n

A central pillar of Trancom\u2019s strategy is its promotion of \u00a0\u201c3PL\u201d (Third-party Logistics), in which functions such as warehousing and transportation are entrusted to specialized providers. Jinno sees this model as a way to boost efficiency across the supply chain, and he believes 3PL has strong potential beyond Japan. \u201cWe would like to provide these services in the ASEAN countries and India. I believe that 3PL service can be versatile anywhere in the world,\u201d he explains. \u201cAnother one of our core strengths is our specialized matching service, which connects cargo providers with over 13,000 transport partners nationwide, linking cargo with available trucks in real time. Whether it\u2019s full truckloads, medium-lot shipments or last-mile delivery, we can offer the optimal transport method and trucks for each case. Providing these services depends on the proactive efforts \u00a0of our staff, and it is through their ongoing dedication and improvement that we can deliver even better services.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trancom is also a pioneer in logistics automation, an urgent priority in light of Japan\u2019s shrinking labor force. Drawing from its expertise in warehouse management, the company has obtained a patent for combining robotic systems to develop a novel automation solution. \u201cWhat makes it unique is that it offers flexible, modular automation that cuts labor and costs by about 30% compared to normal and taking roughly half the floor space,\u201d says Jinno. He emphasizes the importance of a hybrid model: \u201cBecause the system is not fully dependent on automation, it\u2019s much more resilient in cases of power outages or system issues. This flexibility and real-world usability makes it stand out to our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

While already maintaining a strong foothold across Japan, and providing logistics efficiency for a wide pool of customers, Trancom is actively seeking future potential growth. Looking ahead, Jinno envisions overseas expansion. He sees strong demand for high-quality logistics services across Asia: \u201cUsing Japan\u2019s high-quality logistics standards, we launched our 3PL business in Thailand eight years ago in the daily necessities and hygiene product sectors, focusing on staff training and operational localization. Today, we not only provide 3PL services for domestic customers but have also expanded to offer ocean freight services.\u201d Looking further afield, he adds: \u201cFrom our base in Thailand, we aim to expand into other ASEAN countries and India. We\u2019re targeting a market entry into India within the next five years.\u201d<\/p>\n
