Expansion of the Logistics DX and Software Business through the Acquisition of 株式会社ワールドリンク

「Under the Group's medium-term management plan for fiscal 2025–2027, the Company has adopted “evolving into high-growth businesses” as its basic policy and “taking on challenges in new fields” and “acquiring new technologies” as its key strategies. It is expanding its business scope into engineering and consulting covering the process from receiving goods at logistics centers through to shipment, with the aim of providing solutions that exceed customer expectations. In particular, the Company is promoting the development of WMS (warehouse management systems) using its expertise, as well as solution software surrounding WMS that links data from upstream and downstream processes, to support customers' logistics DX and supply chain efficiency. 株式会社ワールドリンク is primarily engaged in resident-based development and has a track record of serving the consumer cooperative sector, one of the Company's core business areas. We believe that its expertise in securing personnel and strengthening technical capabilities by leveraging offshore development and networks of partner companies will help expand the Group's development resources. In addition, the company has stable business relationships with its existing major customers, which we believe will help strengthen its order base. Furthermore, the mutual use of technical capabilities and development expertise with the Company's subsidiary 株式会社スクラムソフトウェア is expected to create synergies extending beyond a mere increase in organizational scale, establish a higher value-added solution delivery structure, and enhance the Group-wide development structure and competitiveness.」
