Omnichannel Fulfillment

Turn logistics into brand power.

Every place you hold stock becomes a place you ship from.

A platform that treats stores, warehouses, 3PLs, and overseas sites as one pool of inventory,
and ships every order from the best location.

Manage every order to perfection

Make the best decision on how to fulfill each order, every time. Real-time inventory, carrier, and location information ensures every promise is kept.

Increase conversions

Show per-store availability and estimated delivery dates on product pages. Store inventory can also be bought online, which reduces stockouts and lifts conversion.

Fulfill smarter & faster

Automatically select the best fulfillment location for each order based on inventory, distance, and shipping cost. Floor operations are optimized too, so orders ship accurately and arrive as fast as possible.

Post-purchase experience

See order and delivery status in real time and keep customers updated automatically. Fewer inquiries, more repeat purchases.

Sell through your stock. Deliver as promised.

Unify inventory, decide the origin, keep customers informed. One flow from order to delivery.

Items that sit only on a store shelf can sell online. When the warehouse is out, stores with stock keep the product available.

Each order ships from a location that has the stock and is close to the customer. The steps are the same from a store or a warehouse.

Show the estimated delivery date when the order is placed, then tell customers when it ships and where it is.

Omnichannel capabilities

From selling store inventory online to international shipping, we provide the capabilities omnichannel requires.

Turn stores into fulfillment locations

Show what is on the shelf as in-stock on your product pages. Inventory sitting in stores becomes online revenue, and store staff pick and ship those orders straight from the floor.

  • Store inventory reflected online in real time
  • Show which store has the item
  • Picking fits on a phone (shelf codes, scan confirmation)
  • Labels issue and print automatically

Pick the best source automatically

For every order we pick the fulfillment location from stock, distance and cost. Shipping from a closer node cuts both the fee and the delivery time, and it evens out inventory across locations as it goes.

  • A location chosen per order, automatically
  • Stock, distance and cost weighed together
  • Priorities and per-SKU rules where you need them
  • Every decision traceable in the console

Ship what the store does not stock

Even when the shelf is empty, staff can take the order and have it delivered from the warehouse. Customers leave with the purchase made, and the floor sells more than it can hold.

  • Take the order even when the shelf is empty
  • Allocate from a warehouse or another store automatically
  • Ship directly to the customer's home
  • Track in-store orders in the same console

Buy online, pick up in store

Customers buy online and collect in store. No shipping fee, pickup whenever suits them, and a reason to walk into the store.

  • Pick a store at checkout
  • Customers are notified when it is ready
  • A pickup code keeps the handover quick
  • Hold periods managed for you

Unify domestic and cross-border

Ship domestic and international from the same inventory with the same operation. No separate system for overseas, no different procedure per location.

  • One screen for domestic and overseas
  • Local dispatch from overseas nodes
  • International tracking in the same format
  • Channel currency and language stay as they are

Improve the post-purchase experience

From the delivery date on the product page through shipping notifications to tracking, the whole wait happens under your brand. No handing customers off to a carrier site.

  • Delivery estimates on the product page
  • Shipping notices sent as your brand
  • Tracking pages on your own site
  • Fewer "where is my order" tickets

Frequently asked questions

What does Last Mile do?

We are an omnichannel fulfillment company. We connect the inventory and orders spread across e-commerce, stores, warehouses, and 3PLs, and ship each order from the best location. Our platform connects OMS, WMS, e-commerce, and POS, and our 3PL network of about 100 locations across Japan runs the physical operation. That covers selling store stock online, ship-from-store, BOPIS, micro-fulfillment, wholesale and B2B alongside D2C, and domestic and international delivery.

What does Last Mile provide for shipping online orders from a store?

Shipping from a store takes three things: the software that manages orders and inventory, shipping labels and carrier integration, and a way for store staff to do the work. Last Mile provides all of it as one system — order capture and sourcing decisions (OMS), store and online stock kept in sync (IMS and POS integration), a store app that guides staff to the right shelf, shipping label printing, and tracking numbers and shipment status sent back to your storefront. Your stores become inventory and shipping locations for e-commerce as they are.

How do you connect e-commerce, stores, warehouses, and 3PLs?

We integrate with carts and marketplaces such as Shopify, Rakuten Ichiba, Qoo10, BASE, and Tmall; POS such as Smaregi; OMS, ERP, WMS, and 3PL systems; and major domestic and international carriers, bringing order, inventory, and shipping data together on Last Mile. As each order arrives we check stock at every location, choose the source among your stores, warehouses, and 3PLs, and carry it through shipping, delivery, and tracking.

How do you provide the physical locations?

You can ship from our 3PL network of about 100 locations across Japan, which handles receiving, storage, picking, packing, shipping, and returns. Your own stores, existing warehouses, micro-fulfillment sites, and overseas locations join the same shipping network. You can add a location where demand is growing without signing a new warehouse of your own, and deliver from closer to the customer.

Do we have to replace our current e-commerce, OMS, WMS, or POS?

No. Last Mile integrates with the e-commerce, OMS, WMS, POS, ERP, and 3PL systems you already run, so you keep your current setup and add only the parts you need. You can keep your WMS and let us decide only where each order ships from, or add store inventory sync and ship-from-store to the storefront you have today.
