Yahoo and Yamato partner in online mail order logistics March 24 18:28
Yahoo's holding company, Z Holdings, has partnered with logistics giant Yamato Holdings to jointly launch a dedicated logistics service for online mail-order sites.
This was revealed by Z Holdings and Yamato Holdings at a press conference on the Internet on April 24.
By doing so, Yamato will provide a dedicated logistics service for store owners, packaging, and delivery of merchandise for those who open online shopping sites provided by Yahoo.
The plan is to start this at the end of June, which will reduce the burden of shipping and other tasks for store operators, and will also shorten the time from ordering to delivery for site users, leading to improved convenience.
At a press conference, Kentaro Kawabe, president of Z Holdings, stated, "In order to be number one in Japan in online shopping, quality of service other than assortment and value is required. I want to aim for a service that enters the market. "
With regard to online shopping, while Amazon and Rakuten are developing their own logistics networks, Yahoo is also faced with the challenge of building a logistics network.
