  Main Initiatives
  We visualize the distribution process by converting various information in the supply chain, such as sales and logistics, into data and "connecting" it. By doing so, we uncover previously unseen sections and provide solutions that are suitable for those sections, thereby eliminating unreasonable, wasteful act and unevenness in the distribution process.

• Connecting information, goods, and people through digital networks to add color to people's lives
