A logistics task partner for small businesses in Tokyo
A small shop or wholesaler can pass a defined pile of stock work to an outside team and keep running the business.
The pile in the back room
Every small business knows the corner where cartons wait for someone to find the time: a supplier shipment not yet checked in, returns waiting to be sorted, a stack of items that need new labels before they can go on sale. The owner or the one employee who knows the stock is also the person serving customers. We take that pile as a task. You tell us what is in it and what the end state should be, and a team led by our supervisor turns the pile into shelves, tidy cartons or packed orders.
Moments when small businesses reach for an outside team
A new product line arrives before a launch. A seasonal sale needs hundreds of items packed in sets. A campaign brings a wave of returns that must be checked and re-shelved. The stocktake is due before the accounts are closed. A supplier changes the packaging and everything has to be relabelled. These are bursts, not permanent needs, which is why an outside team agreed for the task or the period costs less trouble than adding to your own routine.
You do not need a warehouse manager to use us
Many small companies have no one in charge of logistics, and that is fine. What we need is a short message: what the goods are, roughly how many, where they are, when you need the result, and what a correct result looks like. Two or three photos help more than a long description. We ask the questions a warehouse manager would ask and write the answers into the confirmed scope, so your own time is limited to a short exchange.
A small task is still a proper contract
A small task does not mean vague terms. The scope, the quantity, the deadline, the acceptance points and the fixed price are all confirmed by message before anything starts. Our supervisor leads the team, and your staff speak to the supervisor, not to individual team members. If something is not done to the agreed standard and you tell us within 24 hours, we put it right at no extra cost.
Working in a tight space
Small premises mean narrow aisles, a shared lift or a stockroom behind the shop. We ask about the layout, the access route and any quiet times for customers, and the supervisor plans the task around them. Light cartons are handled by hand, goods stay where you want them, and the team leaves the space tidy so the shop can open as usual. If the space cannot take a larger team, we send a smaller one and say so in the quote.
Keeping your own people on the customers
The point of using an outside team is that your staff keep selling, answering messages and packing the orders that need their judgement. Our team works on the defined task, and the supervisor tells you when it is done. You do not have to stop what you are doing to explain the work again to each person, and you are not asked to manage a stranger’s day.
A fixed price, agreed first
We quote one fixed price for the task, the batch or an agreed period, from your description, photos or a short site look. It is confirmed by message before the work starts, and it is what you pay, provided the scope stays as described. If you add something, we say how it changes the price before we begin it. We do not publish a rate card, because a sorting task of mixed small items and a re-boxing task of a few large cartons are not comparable.
What a small business should not expect
We do not drive or collect goods, we do not operate forklifts or heavy machinery, and we do not handle hazardous or temperature-controlled goods, food production, regulated pharmaceuticals or anything that needs a food-handling or other licence. Technical building maintenance is outside our scope, and night or heavy-manual shifts only happen if agreed first. We follow your site rules, briefed by our supervisor, and we tell you when a request falls outside what we do.
What to have ready before you write
Four things make the first reply faster and the quote more exact: two or three photos of the goods as they are now, the place and how to get in, the date you need the result, and the name of one person who can answer questions on the day. If you also know what should stay untouched, such as stock reserved for a customer, mention it. None of this has to be formal. A phone photo and three lines of text are enough for us to ask the right follow-up questions and send you a fixed price.

Frequently asked questions
My business is tiny. Is there a minimum size for a task?
We do not set a minimum in the message. Describe the task and we tell you whether it fits and what the fixed price is before you decide.
Can you work in a shop or a shared building?
Yes. Tell us the layout, the access and any quiet times, and the supervisor plans the task around them.
Will you collect the goods from my supplier?
No. We do not drive or transport goods. The goods are at the site and we work on them there.
What if I am not happy with the result?
Report it within 24 hours. If the work was not done to the agreed standard, we put it right at no extra cost.
