New trans-logiManager solution helps visualize and optimize logistics costs and delivery performance

TOKYO, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Overcoming so-called 2024 problem in logistics has become a top priority in Japan. Against this background, two revised logistics laws enacted in April 2024—the Motor Truck Transportation Business Act and the Act on Advancement of Integration and Streamlining of Distribution Business—will take effect in April 2026. These laws require specified business operators to assign a Chief Logistics Officer (CLO) and submit medium- to long-term plans. To support businesses in addressing the 2024 problem and complying with the revised laws, transcosmos will offer trans-logiManager, a new logistics DX (digital transformation) solution that expands the features of its logistics cost optimization services launched in July 2024. The new solution first helps businesses visualize the CLO's functions, such as managing truck drivers' working hours, developing medium- to long-term plans, and preparing regular reports. Based on these responsibilities, the solution helps CLOs gather necessary information and provides a range of services starting at a monthly service fee of 400,000 yen.
