Innovation strategy

overview

The history of our group over more than 80 years has been a series of challenges and innovations in order to give form to our customers' ideas in the form of logistics services. A symbol of this is that in the 1960s, we were the first in the industry to realize an ``international International multimodal Transport service'' that combined land, sea, and air transportation methods. Even in today's world where the roles expected of logistics companies are expanding and the business environment is changing significantly, we believe that constant innovation and new business creation are essential in order to continue to be our customers' best partner.
Therefore, in our 7th medium-term business plan, "Nissin Next 7th," which started in 2022, we have set "challenging new fields of business" as one of our basic policies.
In light of the changes in the environment surrounding international logistics, we have established four areas: ``promotion of digitalization,'' ``diversification of logistics needs,'' ``electronization of logistics operations,'' and ``creation of new business fields,'' and are collaborating with internal and external partners. We are promoting measures while doing so.

Over the five-year period of this medium-term plan, we will promote initiatives that respond to the digital society and do our best to transform our company and solve our customers' issues.

Innovation promotion system

Led by the DX Promotion Department, we are working on innovation together with a variety of partners from industry, government, and academia. We will also focus on developing DX human resources who will promote these initiatives.

Four initiatives

• Promotion of digitalization

  We will transform the forwarding business model and build a new profit model compatible with the digital society.

  Example:
  Digital forwarding service “Forward ONE”

• Diversification of logistics needs

  We develop logistics services that promote Supply Chain optimization and evolve our logistics business.

  Example:
  Case study of logistics container solution “HACO lab.”

• Digitization of logistics operations

  We aim to improve operational efficiency through DX and reduce operational costs for our company and our customers.

  Example:
  Efforts to digitize logistics operations

• Creation of new field business

  We will create new logistics-related businesses that are not bound by traditional frameworks.
