Next Solutions, Inc. (a web integration company located in Shibuya, Tokyo. Chief Executive Officer: Kazuyuki Kubo) launched a total outsourcing service for EC sites.

Next Solutions is a company that provides comprehensive services related to Internet business from consulting to system development and operation. Because we are operating worldwide in locations such as Tokyo, Osaka, the U.S. (NY and LA) and China (Shanghai and Shenyang), we have a system in place that allows us to pick up on the latest information and trends from each country a step ahead of the rest, and have them reflect in the web development.

What is behind the launch on this occasion of the EC site total outsourcing service is that the environment for providing all of the factors necessary for EC operations has been prepared. This not only includes the creation of the business plan when developing the site, but also merchandising, logistics, merchandise photography and marketing.

For the apparel select shop, “MAKERSSELECT” (http://www.makers.ne.jp/), which our company worked on last year (August 2005), we applied that know-how to make it one of the most popular sites.

Our company predicts that the demand for EC site outsourcing services will be high in the future. We aim to become a total solution company for EC sites by launching this service a step ahead of the rest. Not only in Japan, we have made use of our overseas locations and already contracted with several famous select shops such as those in the U.S. Our plan is to expand our business even further in the future.

There are many benefits that companies can gain by outsourcing their EC business.

We believe that you can gain a multiplier effect both in your offline and online businesses without expending resources from your core business by allowing our company, which has the know-how, to totally manage it. And, depending on the company, there are cases where the initial investment will want to be avoided. By jointly operating with our company, it will be possible to disperse that risk.
