LOGISTEED, Ltd. is pleased to announce that our team has achieved first place in the Global Professional Challenge 2024, a world SCM competition held annually by Inchainge, a company based in the Netherlands that specializes in supply chain management (SCM) training events.
Our participating members advanced through the Japan preliminary round, and then proceeded to the world competition, which included 48 companies that had passed preliminary rounds from around the globe. 　The world competition was held over four days, requiring flexible decision-making in a short time frame, including revising strategies based on daily performance and responding to unexpected events within the competition.　 By leveraging the experience and knowledge gained from actual business practices, our team overcame these challenges and achieved our first victory, surpassing our previous best record of third place in 2022.

By implementing the supply chain management and business skills acquired through this competition into our business, we will strive to further expand our services in the SCM field.
