Celebrating six years of "Hacobell" with infographics of our growth story

In 2015, Hacobell launched a matching service to connect shippers with drivers. By utilizing drivers' idle time, we have created a system which achieves quick and easy delivery arrangements at a competitive price.

From 2019, we have begun offering a matching service for heavyweight freight and a dispatch management system to improve operational efficiency. We are currently offering two services: "Hacobell Cargo" for lightweight freight and "Hacobell Connect" for Heavyweight freight.

In 2021, "Logistics Today", the largest logistics news website in Japan, published "Top 40 Vehicle Allocation Planning System of Interest" (survey conducted in July 2021) and the " Most Recognized Cargo and Vehicle Matching Services" (survey conducted in October 2021). We ranked No.1 in both of the lists, and in addition, we received the Good Design Award (sponsored by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion) for 2021. With the expansion of our services, we have been received well both by the industry and outside of the industry.

Our services have been used for 520,007 deliveries this year (total record from January to the end of November) and 46,826 shippers continue to use Hacobell. With stay-home and remote work environment with COVID-19, 2021 saw a continued increase in demand for home deliveries for food and beverages, office supplies, books, bicycles, and clothing.

※Transactions and Number of registered shippers exclude Hacobellconnect(SaaS)

The number of registered drivers and vehicles has increased over 10,000 compared to last year. With over 30,000 of them, we have been able to provide an even more robust logistics network.

In addition, the success matching rate on "Hacobell Cargo" is 98.0% and our customer reviews average a score of 4.8. Our customer satisfaction rate keeps increasing, and we continue to provide high-quality services everyday.

The logistics industry has many challenges such as continuous shortage of drivers, long working hours and inefficient operations. In order to play a part in tackling and solving these issues, we will continue to contribute to the digital transformation of the logistics industry by providing a "Hacobell" platform, which directly connects shippers and drivers. We will strive to continue providing services that are truly needed by customers.

*All figures are as of November 2021.
