VNEXT JAPAN List of Products and Services

More than 60% of domestic companies are facing "legacy systems." These aging systems, which hinder digital transformation (DX), are transforming into a serious management issue directly linked to the risk of violating the "Revised Logistics Efficiency Act," which was fully enforced in April 2026, known as the "2025 cliff." This article thoroughly explains the substantial risks associated with continuing to operate outdated paper and Excel management systems and old on-premise systems, such as "administrative penalties" and "serious loss of delivery capability." Furthermore, we will smartly overcome the two major barriers to renewal: "IT talent shortage" and "enormous renovation costs," through high-quality, low-cost offshore development in Vietnam provided by VNEXT (costs around one-third of the average, with team formation in as little as one week). We will propose a realistic DX roadmap to gradually achieve the cloudification of warehouse management systems (WMS) and dispatch and operation systems. *For more details, you can view the related links.

For many years, the term "the cliff of 2025" has been an essential keyword in discussing digital transformation (DX) in Japan. Industry experts, technology vendors, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) have sounded the alarm that the increasing reliance on aging legacy systems poses a risk of many Japanese companies losing their innovation, agility, and long-term competitiveness. However, as we welcome 2026, has the "cliff of 2025" truly become a thing of the past? In this article, we will explain what the "cliff of 2025" means, why legacy systems continue to be a serious issue for many companies, the impact on departments and businesses, and what companies can do to strengthen the foundation for promoting DX. *For more detailed content of the blog, please refer to the related links.

Japan's digital transformation (DX) is showing rapid acceleration, while facing structural challenges that fundamentally shake the sustainable growth of companies. The most significant factor is the chronic shortage of skilled system engineers and development resources. As the demand for the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), migration to cloud computing, and advanced custom application development expands across all industries, it is becoming increasingly impossible to rely solely on the domestic talent market to build and expand engineering teams. This report meticulously analyzes the underlying factors contributing to the anticipated IT talent shortage by 2030 and discusses the physical limitations of traditional hiring and training strategies. Furthermore, even under the constraints of the domestic labor market, we present the effectiveness of utilizing structural external resources through an offshore dedicated team model (lab-type development) as a third option to maximize corporate development capabilities and promote system migration and DX without delay. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

Outsourcing software development is originally a strategic means to enhance development speed, leverage advanced expertise, and optimize cost performance. However, many system development projects end without achieving the expected results. In this article, we will systematically explain the factors leading to the failure of the "throw it over the wall" type of outsourcing that frequently occurs in development environments, and the process of transitioning to an "Agile co-creation model" that can flexibly respond to market changes. *You can view the detailed content of the blog through the related links.

For many years, companies have viewed "Vietnam offshore development" as a means to reduce software development costs. Amid the continued rise in labor costs for highly skilled IT engineers in Japan, there was indeed a time when the primary objective of adopting offshore development was to outsource operations to Southeast Asia, significantly cutting initial costs and operational expenses. However, as of 2026, Vietnam offshore development has undergone a significant transformation from merely securing "cheap labor (cost-cutting)" to becoming a "strategic DX partnership with advanced technical capabilities and agility." As the pace of technological innovation accelerates and system modernization and AI utilization become urgent priorities for companies following the "2025 cliff," this article will thoroughly explain the trends in Vietnam offshore development, the criteria for truly successful selection, a recommended list of 10 development companies, and key points. *For more detailed content of the blog, you can view it through the related links.

What is now required in the field of DX promotion is no longer just software development capabilities. It is the presence of a "solution partner" that consistently supports early involvement in requirements definition, the renewal of legacy systems, AI implementation, and long-term business growth. In this article, we will explain the reasons why many companies in the Japanese offshore development market choose VNEXT from among numerous partner candidates, from four perspectives: governance structure, AI expertise, enterprise development capabilities, and BPO functions. *For more details, you can view the related links.

Among Japanese companies, there is a growing movement to consider the development of logistics systems in Vietnam, driven by the acceleration of DX (digital transformation) initiatives. However, many companies are facing two common challenges. One is that the dispatch operations heavily rely on the experience of specific personnel, and the other is the difficulty in clearly defining requirements, raising concerns that outsourced development projects may become prolonged. This article explains how logistics systems utilizing AI can simultaneously address these two challenges. Additionally, while introducing VNEXT's logistics system development case, we will delve into how the collaborative development approach from requirement definition can shorten the lead time to implementation. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

In Japan's logistics industry, while digital transformation (DX) is progressing, handwritten and paper forms with different formats for each business partner, such as shipping slips and invoices, remain. Manual data entry into ERP systems has become a bottleneck for achieving a paperless environment. This article explains how to use AI-OCR to read various forms and reduce manual work by integrating with existing ERP systems. Additionally, we will introduce the concept of utilizing offshore development in Vietnam to optimize implementation costs and project duration. *For more details, you can view the related links.

The Japanese logistics industry is undergoing unprecedented changes at an incredible speed. Transportation and delivery companies are constantly expanding their businesses by acquiring new customers, entering new service areas, and introducing additional delivery services. At the same time, on-site business processes are continuously evolving in response to customer requirements, labor shortages, efforts for efficiency, and changes in market needs. While these changes create opportunities for growth, they also place a significant burden on the systems that support logistics operations. This article explains how agile development can launch a system that integrates shipping label issuance and on-site operations using two-dimensional codes as a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and how it can be flexibly expanded according to actual business needs. Additionally, we will introduce how VNEXT, as a DX partner equipped with the consulting and proposal capabilities necessary to outline the optimal MVP and long-term development roadmap, supports this process. *For more details, you can view the blog through the related links.
