JIC Venture Growth Investments has made an additional investment in Hacobu, Inc. (Hacobu) through its JIC Venture Growth Fund 1. Hacobu provides "MOVO," a cloud-based integrated logistics information platform aimed at solving challenges in inter-company logistics, under its mission of "Optimizing Transport."

‍

MOVO includes a variety of solutions tailored to address issues in the logistics industry. The truck reservation service for warehouses and logistics centers, MOVO Berth, has already been adopted by many companies. In addition, Hacobu offers MOVO Fleet for vehicle operation management, MOVO Vista for dispatch order management, and Hacobu Strategy, a logistics DX consulting service.

The shortage of manpower in logistics operations, particularly truck drivers, is becoming increasingly serious in Japan. Efficiency and optimization of operations are urgent issues. By leveraging MOVO, Hacobu facilitates digital transformation at logistics sites, streamlining operations. Furthermore, by utilizing the logistics big data accumulated through MOVO usage, the company aims to help address on-site challenges such as labor shortages and inefficient workflows, thereby promoting the optimization of inter-company logistics.

This funding will support Hacobu in accelerating its business growth, solidifying MOVO’s position as the standard platform for inter-company logistics, and contributing to the digital transformation and productivity enhancement of the logistics industry.
