Warehouse light task support in Tokyo, contracted by task
Small recurring tasks around a warehouse pile up quietly; we take them on as defined, fixed-price contracted tasks with our own supervisor on site.
The tasks that never reach the top of the list
Every site has a list of things that are not urgent until suddenly they are. Reboxing a damaged lot, adding a sticker the customer asked for, sorting a returned pile, tidying a back room so that stock can be found. These tasks are small, manual and easy to describe, but they take attention that your own team needs for shipping. Light task support exists for exactly this gap: you hand over a clearly defined task and receive a finished result.
What counts as a light task
The tasks we can take on are sorting and re-sorting goods, repacking and re-boxing, re-labelling and sticker work, kitting and assembly of light sets, carton packing, visual inspection against your criteria, picking and packing of orders, returns checking and re-shelving, manual unloading and putaway of light cartons, inventory counting and shelf organisation, and clearing and arranging storage areas. If your task is on this list or close to it, send a description and we confirm whether it fits.
How to describe a task so it can be priced
A useful description has four parts: what is to be done to each item, how many items there are, when it must be finished, and what a finished item looks like. A photo of one finished example is worth a page of words. If you do not know the quantity exactly, give a range and a way to count, and we agree how the count will be checked at the start. We turn this into a single price per task, batch or agreed period.
The contract model in plain terms
Light task support is performed under a contract for a task, not by placing people with you. The client sets the scope, the volume, the deadline and the standard. Our own supervisor directs the team on site and answers for the result. You do not have to manage or instruct individual team members, and we do not put anyone under your direction. This is why the work can be agreed as a fixed price: we are responsible for delivering the defined outcome.
One task or a regular arrangement
Some clients send a single batch and never need us again. Others find that the same type of task returns every week or every month, such as returns checking after a sales campaign or relabelling when a new shipment comes in. For a recurring need we agree a fixed price for the agreed period and the agreed scope, confirmed by message. If the volume changes materially, we discuss the price before the work, not afterwards.
Combining several small tasks into one visit
A common request is a handful of unrelated tasks that nobody has time for: count one shelf, relabel two cartons, clear the corner by the loading door, pack up a returned order. We bundle these into one fixed price and one visit, with a list of what is included. The supervisor works through the list in the order that makes sense for your site, and the report afterwards follows the same list so you can check each item.
Your first task with us, step by step
A first task is best kept small and specific. Send the description and photos, and we reply within one hour with questions or a fixed price. Once you confirm by message, our supervisor visits or contacts you to agree where the work happens, where finished goods are placed and who we report to. After the task we send the report, and you tell us what to adjust for next time. Many clients start with one shelf or one pile and widen the scope only after they have seen how the report reads.
Why a fixed price suits small tasks
Small tasks are the ones people hesitate to outsource, because the effort of arranging help seems larger than the task itself. A fixed price removes the uncertainty: you know the amount before anything starts, and it is tied to the defined result rather than to how the day goes. The quote lists what is included, so you can compare it with what you expected.
What we will say no to
We do not operate forklifts or heavy machinery, drive or transport goods, handle hazardous or temperature-controlled goods, work with food that requires a food-handling or other licence, or deal with regulated pharmaceuticals. We also do not carry out technical building maintenance such as electrical, air conditioning or plumbing work. Night or heavy-manual shifts are possible only when agreed. When a request touches any of these, we tell you rather than guess.
Working inside your site rules
Before the team begins, our supervisor takes your site safety briefing and passes it on. If there are restricted zones, shared aisles or items with special handling instructions, tell us at the quote stage so they appear in the scope. We follow the client’s site safety rules throughout. We do not claim licences or certifications, and the supervisor can show you the plan for the day before anyone starts.
Reporting, quality and rework
When the task is complete, the supervisor sends a report by message with photos where they help, and the counts or checks that the task required. Anything not done to the agreed standard and reported within 24 hours is put right at no extra cost. Requests are accepted at any hour, we reply within one hour in English or Japanese, and outside the 23 wards the travel cost is stated before you confirm. Our operations partner is Global Access Co., Ltd.
