Key Challenges We Address

Navigating Supply Chain Volatility in Japan’s Market

Supplier disruptions and rising logistics costs in Japan have increased procurement expenses by up to 18% across key sectors this year.
By re-mapping supplier networks and developing local supplier partnerships, YCP reduces volatility and creates more cost-stable sourcing pipelines for clients.

Adapting to Evolving Regulatory Compliance Standards

Strict and frequently changing regulations in Japan have delayed import timelines for over 35% of sourcing projects, impacting savings goals.
Through proactive regulatory monitoring and compliance process redesign, YCP ensures uninterrupted sourcing operations and sustains client savings targets.

Enhancing Transparency in Supplier Cost Structures

Opaque pricing models among Japanese suppliers often hide embedded costs, making it difficult to achieve true procurement savings for companies.
Leveraging data analytics and market benchmarks, YCP uncovers hidden costs and negotiates more favorable, transparent supplier contracts on behalf of clients.

Accelerating Digitalization of Sourcing Processes

Despite digital advances, over 40% of companies in Japan still rely on manual sourcing workflows, missing opportunities to capture added value.
With process automation and digital sourcing tools, YCP streamlines procurement tasks, enabling clients to capture rapid and measurable sourcing savings.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"During the course of the process, I found YCP highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP brought us “real market experience”. YCP's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."
