Askul Corp
Investor Relations

In the bustling landscape of Japanese commerce, Askul Corp. has carved a distinct niche for itself, functioning as a pivotal conduit between the frenetic demands of businesses and the vast array of office supplies required to keep them operational. Initially sprouting in the early 1990s, Askul leveraged the nascent era of catalog-based sales to address a glaring inefficiency: the tedious, often delayed supply of everyday office necessities. With an innovative model that promised quick delivery — typically by the next business day — the company swiftly garnered a reputation for reliability and customer-centric service. This responsiveness evolved into their distinctive selling proposition, enabling Askul to cater predominantly to small and medium-sized enterprises, who found the convenience and breadth of its catalog indispensable.

As the digital world unfolded, Askul adeptly transitioned from paper catalogs to a robust online platform, which has become the lifeline of their operations and revenue model. The company generates income primarily through the sale of office supplies, furniture, and business essentials directly to end-users via its e-commerce portals. The logistical framework supporting this is sophisticated, with strategically located warehouses ensuring that they stay true to their swift delivery promise. Moreover, by collaborating with logistics partners and continuously focusing on website optimization and user experience, Askul efficiently captures and retains a significant portion of Japan’s B2B supply market. This seamless integration of technology and logistics underpins Askul's competitive edge, allowing it to thrive in an era where digital transformation dictates market success.
