Department Overview
The Logistics Business was established to build the foundation for next-generation e-commerce by considering Rakuten’s ideal logistics role throughout the entire supply chain, from product arrival to delivery to end users. Currently, we provide the following two services.
1.
We handle a wide range of activities, from sales to service and business planning for logistics services (Rakuten Super Logistics) for clients who open stores on Rakuten Ichiba.
2.
We act as a 3PL (third-party logistics) partner with the logistics departments of Rakuten’s first-party e-commerce sites, such as Rakuten 24 and Rakuten Fashion.
In July 2021, Rakuten Group Inc. established “JP Rakuten Logistics Co., Ltd.” with Japan Post Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd. As a result, we will incorporate our labor-saving, automated logistics centers, which we have invested in and developed, into Japan Post’s delivery network and jointly operate them to achieve logistics DX, aiming to improve customer UX, shorten lead times, increase logistics efficiency, and maximize capacity.
