But this debut is even more special: we’re joining forces with Yamato Transport, Japan’s most trusted delivery and logistics provider, to co-host a booth and showcase how cross-border shipping can be transformed through partnership.

Why This Matters

Picture this: You're a Japanese artisan creating beautiful handcrafted goods, or a lifestyle brand with products that could be the next big thing in American homes. Your biggest challenge isn't creating amazing products—it's getting them to customers across the Pacific without drowning in logistics complexity.

That’s exactly why we’re bringing ShipBae A1 to Tokyo. And by partnering with Yamato, a company known for its reliable domestic and international delivery network, we’re making sure Japanese brands have the local-global bridge they need to expand with confidence.

Tokyo International Gift Show: More Than Just a Trade Show

Running September 3-5, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight, this isn't just any trade show. It's the 100th edition of Japan's largest lifestyle and gift exhibition, hosting over 3,000 exhibitors across 100,000m2 of space. With 220,000+ visitors expected, including 5,700+ international attendees, it's where serious business gets done.

For us—and for Yamato—it represents something bigger: the perfect opportunity to show Japanese businesses how cross-border shipping should work in 2025.

The ShipBae A1 Story: From Complex to Simple

Here's what most people don't realize about international shipping—it's not supposed to be this hard.

Traditional cross-border shipping feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces. You need origin partners, consolidators, customs brokers, destination partners, and last-mile carriers. Each has their own systems, requirements, and inevitable delays. It's no wonder many businesses give up before they start.

ShipBae A1, powered with Yamato’s trusted delivery capabilities, changes this equation entirely.

What we've built:

• One platform that handles everything from origin to doorstep
• Real-time visibility across the entire journey
• Cost optimization that actually delivers savings
• Documentation that just works, without the headaches

How it works in practice: You create your shipping labels with a few clicks. We handle origin consolidation, flight arrangements, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery. You track everything in real-time. Your customers receive their packages. Done.

Built for the Gift and Lifestyle Industry

Japanese manufacturers in the gift and lifestyle space face unique challenges when shipping to the US. Products are often:

• High-value items requiring careful handling
• Unique designs that need proper presentation
• Seasonal goods with tight delivery windows
• Items that must arrive in perfect condition to maintain brand reputation

ShipBae A1's approach addresses each of these concerns:

Careful Handling: Our partner network understands the value of presentation and handles products accordingly

Flexible Solutions: Whether you're shipping delicate ceramics or bulk lifestyle products, our system adapts to your needs

Reliable Timing: Advanced zone optimization ensures packages reach their destinations efficiently and predictably

Quality Assurance: End-to-end tracking means issues get identified and resolved quickly

The Technical Foundation

Behind ShipBae A1's simplicity lies sophisticated technology. Our platform manages:

Batch Processing: Efficient order management that scales with your business 

Partner Coordination: Seamless integration across our entire network 

Documentation Automation: All customs paperwork generated automatically 

Cost Optimization: Smart routing that minimizes expenses at every stage 

Real-Time Updates: Complete visibility from pickup to delivery

By combining this with Yamato’s strong delivery network in Japan and across Asia, businesses get a truly end-to-end solution.

What Tokyo Visitors Will Experience

At our booth, we're not just showing software—we're demonstrating a new way of thinking about international commerce.

Live Demonstrations: See how a complex international shipment becomes a simple, few-click process

Industry-Specific Examples: We'll show scenarios relevant to gift manufacturers, craft producers, and lifestyle brands

Cost Analysis: Real examples of savings achieved through intelligent optimization

Integration Options: How ShipBae A1 fits into existing workflows and business processes

Beyond the Demo: Real Impact

It’s not just a better demo — it’s a better way of doing business.

What once required juggling multiple partners is now simplified into one streamlined relationship.Hidden costs, delays, and inefficiencies are replaced with transparency, reliability, and speed.From customs to last-mile, every step just works — seamlessly.

But more than anything, it's about giving Japanese businesses the clarity and confidence to expand into the US, without the fear of logistical complexity holding them back.

A Different Approach to Growth

We're not just launching a product in Japan—we're introducing a philosophy. Cross-border commerce should be as straightforward as domestic shipping. Technology should eliminate barriers, not create new ones. Small and medium businesses should have access to the same logistics capabilities as major corporations.

Our partnership with Yamato reflects this vision—pairing innovative technology with one of Japan’s most trusted logistics companies to create solutions that scale globally.

The Bigger Picture

Our Tokyo debut represents more than market expansion. It's part of a vision where geographic boundaries don't determine business potential. Where a craftsperson in Kyoto can serve customers in California as easily as those in Osaka.

This is already happening in Vietnam, where our VILOG 2025 participation opened new opportunities for Southeast Asian businesses. Now we're bringing the same possibilities to Japanese manufacturers.
