About E-LogiT

In the year 2000, as the dot-com boom was reshaping commerce, E-LogiT was founded in Japan to tackle a growing challenge for online businesses: logistics. Established on February 14, 2000, the company, led by President and CEO Tadashi Ikeda and Chairman Ryoichi Kakui, focused on providing comprehensive support for e-commerce operations. Their model was built on offering services that included everything from e-commerce strategy and marketing to the critical backend operations of fulfillment and customer support. The company's core business revolves around its fulfillment centers and business process outsourcing (BPO). This allows their clients, ranging from apparel to cosmetics companies, to essentially outsource their entire logistics operation. E-LogiT handles warehousing, inventory management, and shipping, enabling online retailers to concentrate on sales and marketing without getting bogged down in the complexities of physical distribution. A significant development in the company's journey occurred in early 2025. E-LogiT announced the acquisition of the 'North mall' catalog and e-commerce business. This move was seen as a strategic step to create synergies, combining E-LogiT's established fulfillment and consulting services with North mall's direct channel to consumers. The acquisition, completed on February 1, 2025, aimed to enhance corporate value by integrating these complementary business models.
