CJ Logistics announced on the 23rd that it held a seminar targeting domestic sellers and Rakuten Ichiba to discuss strategies for entering the Japanese e-commerce market.
The seminar was conducted for about 70 domestic beauty and health supplement sellers and brand representatives, introducing a one-stop support plan for entering the Japanese e-commerce market.
CJ Logistics introduced integrated logistics service provision plans targeting Korean corporations wishing to enter the Japanese market, including domestic logistics, international transportation, and local logistics in Japan.
CJ Logistics plans to handle the storage, packaging, and shipping of sellers' products at three logistics centers located in Saitama, Gunma, and Osaka.
The company explained that this would reduce shipping times by 1 to 2 days compared to direct shipments from Korea, and inquiries could also be addressed more quickly.
Additionally, it introduced a self-developed logistics system that integrates Rakuten order information and logistics center inventory information for comprehensive management. Through this system, sellers can check logistics operational status in real time and secure insufficient inventory in advance.
Rakuten Ichiba described its plan to support the overall process of account setup, product registration, and review operations. Transcosmos, a global Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) service specialist, also revealed its marketing support plan for Japanese consumers during the seminar.
Jang Young-ho, Deputy Minister of CJ Logistics IFS Division, said, "Based on our collaboration with Rakuten and our advanced reverse logistics capabilities, we will actively support Korean sellers to successfully enter the Japanese market."
