Storage and supply of frozen products to convenience stores

A behind-the-scenes player - supplying frozen products to over 1,960 convenience stores every day -

We have a wide range of food-related experience, including center operations for major convenience stores and mass retailers, and delivery of drinking water and frozen foods. Especially for frozen products, we receive ice cream, frozen foods, and food sold in a hot display case next to the cash register from various manufacturers in our freezer warehouse, and sort and ship them based on shipping orders received from each convenience store every morning.

We perform detailed sorting of about 400 items in a limited time to avoid delays in delivery to stores by implementing mechanization (DPS: Digital Picking System) and achieve stable supply under thorough time management.

Arterial transport in 3 temperature zones

Kanto ↔ Hokkaido arterial transport in 3 temperature zones & center functions

We are responsible for arterial transport from Kanto to Hokkaido, distribution processing, and store delivery. After disembarking from ferries, the goods go directly to through centers in 3 temperature zones for immediate sorting, and we make full use of approximately 1,800 trailers per year to achieve short lead times covering the entire Hokkaido region.

At the same time, we are also involved in arterial transport from Hokkaido to Kanto and Kansai, and our strength lies in our logistics knowledge that takes into account snowfall and other regional characteristics.
