Fast Growing, agile companies are increasing outsourcing more than warehousing, transportation and specific logistics tasks. They are looking for partners that can plan and oversee their entire supply chain to include managing suppliers, carriers and information processes. Terms such as “lead logistics company” and “fourth party logistics provider” are sometimes used to describe this total management service. For Nippon Express USA, the name is not important. What is important to Nippon Express USA and its customers is the broad supply chain management service that Nippon Express USA can provide for its customer’s supply chain processes.

Here are just two examples:

For one of the largest automotive OEMs in the world, Nippon Express USA has planned the entire inbound supply network for its Tier One suppliers. It routes the just-in-time shipments of components from offshore and domestic suppliers, and it tightly controls the sequenced component deliveries to production line locations at precise times.

For a leading office equipment manufacturer, Nippon Express USA manages the entire inbound supply chain from suppliers and contract manufacturers in Asia to dealer and retailer locations throughout North America. Nippon Express USA manages all inbound transportation, customs clearance, cross docking, warehousing and distribution, as well as reverse logistics and after-sale service support.
