OVERVIEW

A large number of Japanese companies are engaged in business activities in China and other countries in the Asian region. These Japanese companies often face problems of disorder in production and various problems related to distribution and settlement that arise from the inability to effectively control over order management and delivery management. Hitachi provides private electronic marketplace (eMP) systems for Japanese companies by backgrounding the TWX-21 intercorporate electronic commerce system, the largest class of eMP in Japan, and promotes collaboration with local partners. Also, by supplying an interface to existing eMP systems and utilizing partners' transaction search engines, etc., Hitachi provides Japanese companies with services ranging from procurement to manufacturing and sales. In the future, we shall extend our service from the physical distribution of goods up to their settlement as TWX-21/global services. Hitachi provides total support services for intercorporate commercial transaction management that includes supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM).
