(Privacy Policy)
NX Logistics Research Institute and Consulting, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a comprehensive think tank engaged in all aspects of logistics and supply chain management, conducting theoretical research, practical and concrete surveys, and consulting.
Centered on logistics and supply chain management, as a front-runner constantly creating new value, we develop “Consulting Business,” “Research Business,” “Digital Solutions Business,” “Education and Training Business,” and “BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) Business,” supporting not only domestic but also global operations. In addition to familiar themes such as reducing logistics costs, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing quality, we assist in optimizing entire supply chains and supporting the management of logistics companies.
We address all issues and challenges related to logistics and supply chain management together with stakeholders, including customers and business partners, and provide the best proposals that meet the needs and expectations of stakeholders and society.
