What Fineplus does

Fineplus (株式会社ファインプラス) is a Japanese third-party logistics (3PL) provider specializing in the apparel and fashion vertical. Founded in November 2007 by Yokota Tomohiro, the company operates from a specialized facility at ProLogis Park Narita in Chiba Prefecture, with a workforce of approximately 20 full-time and 80 part-time employees. The company focuses exclusively on apparel logistics, serving fashion and apparel brands with warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution services.

The company's core offering centers on apparel-specific 3PL services, including warehouse storage, pick-and-pack, inventory management, and shipping for fashion brands. Fineplus has developed an internal logistics KPI system for workflow monitoring, providing operational visibility into inbound/outbound throughput and order status. The company maintains a narrow specialization, with 15 years of accumulated expertise in handling apparel-specific requirements such as SKU complexity, returns processing, and seasonal volume swings.

Financially, Fineplus is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and minimal registered capital of 1,500,000 yen. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Named clients include World Supply Co., Mitsui-Soko Co., Dialog Co., and KURANDO Co., indicating a B2B revenue model serving apparel and fashion-adjacent brands. The business model is typical of Japan's domestic 3PL sector: fee-for-service logistics billed per unit, pallet, or storage volume, with revenue tied directly to client order activity and warehouse utilization.
