■ Rising Demand for Logistics Optimization Behind the Expansion of Cross-Border E-Commerce
With the expansion of the cross-border E-commerce market, many businesses are entering overseas sales; however, challenges such as shipping costs, customs clearance handling, and complex shipping operations are becoming apparent. For small and medium-sized E-commerce businesses in particular, there is a need to optimize the balance between cost and speed while using multiple shipping methods, making the design of logistics itself an important factor in business growth.
Against this backdrop, our company has been preparing an environment where international shipping can be utilized more flexibly and efficiently.
■ Operational Efficiency and Cost Optimization Achieved by the Integration
Through this integration, E-commerce businesses can reduce the burden of shipping operations while enabling more strategic logistics management.
The main points are as follows:
- Centralization of Label Issuance
ECMS EXPRESS labels can be issued directly on Ship&co, eliminating the need to use multiple systems.
- Automatic Creation of Customs Documents
Invoices are automatically generated based on required information, streamlining administrative tasks associated with international shipping.
- Automatic Reflection of Tracking Information
Tracking numbers after shipment are linked to the E-commerce platform, reducing the burden of customer support.
- Reduction of Human Error and Standardization of Operations
Automating the shipping process improves operational accuracy and achieves highly reproducible management.
