Background of New Volumetric Global Logistics Service
 Since 2008, the BEENOS Group has been a pioneer in facilitating CBEC sales for domestic Japanese E-Commerce platforms, beginning with its package forwarding service, "tenso.com." Committed to the globalization of Japan's entire E-Commerce sector, BEENOS has effectively eliminated challenges related to language, payment, and logistics, providing all-encompassing solutions. The Group's services, including the proxy purchasing service "Buyee" and "Buyee Connect," have successfully aided over 5,000 cases*1 of domestic companies in navigating the CBEC landscape.

 A key advantage of BEENOS's Global Commerce Business lies in its competitive logistics network and shipping costs. Striving to offer a seamless shopping experience that transcends international boundaries, BEENOS has consistently improved its logistics capabilities. This enhancement involves forming partnerships with companies less impacted by global situations, crafting unique logistics services that align with regional cultures and providing competitive shipping rates, bolstered by its extensive distribution across 116 countries and regions.

 The COVID-19 pandemic has notably expedited digital transformation (DX), while the yen's depreciation has further propelled the growth of CBEC among Japanese companies. A 2022 survey by JETRO on the international business expansion of Japanese companies revealed that 35.5% are engaging in CBEC, with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) exhibiting higher utilization and future intent compared to larger corporations. Nevertheless, there are notable hurdles, such as intensified competition for international shipping due to increased fuel costs, inflation-induced labor expenses and the rising need for international logistics driven by the emergence of CBEC businesses globally. Overcoming these logistics challenges is essential for Japanese companies, regardless of their size, to effectively tap into international markets.

 BEENOS is capitalizing on its extensive CBEC knowledge and formidable logistics infrastructure to introduce a volumetric-based new global logistics service. This initiative is designed to tackle the prevalent international shipping and logistics challenges encountered by Japanese companies. The strategy revolves around fostering a cycle of fresh demand by granting domestic companies access to its sophisticated and well-established logistics network. This approach is expected to drive market expansion and spur economic growth by catalyzing increased international demand. The primary objective of this endeavor is to bolster the capacity of Japanese businesses to penetrate global markets more efficiently.

Operations Handled by New Volumetric Global Logistics Service
 BEENOS's new volumetric global logistics service encompasses a comprehensive range of operations, including warehousing, international shipping preparation (inclusive of materials without size variation), documentation and customer support. Customers have the option to store their products in advance at BEENOS’s facilities or deliver them to its warehouse upon receiving orders. Utilizing system integration for order processing, BEENOS aims to achieve the shortest possible shipment time. Once the products are dispatched, customers are provided with tracking numbers to monitor their shipments.
