Japan's OSG transforms e-commerce platform

According to Japanese media reports, OSG Corporation, one of Japan's leading tool makers, announced that the company has selected Infosys CommerceEdge to transform its existing e-commerce platform. The new digital commerce platform will provide OSG with powerful sales support and a series of tools to communicate with customers through the network and mobile channels. This cloud-based platform can reduce operating costs by up to 40% compared to other available systems.

Infosys CommerceEdge will help OSG better understand and control its own inventory and pricing system. The social e-commerce platform will bring personalized online trading experience to every customer. The platform will also use its advanced analysis capabilities to help OSG understand customer buying behavior and patterns in real time, which will increase the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

The new social e-commerce platform is the key to OSG's global expansion plan. CommerceEdge uses pre-built accelerators and integration tools to provide multi-language support. These features also provide convenience for the platform to land in new areas and save costs. After the completion of the first phase of deployment, the platform will support OSG's Japanese customers and will later expand the scope to customers in Southeast Asia and Europe.

Koji Sonobe, managing director of OSG Corp., stated: “Our e-commerce portal is one of our business priorities, so Infosys CommerceEdge is a very valuable tool for us. We hope that the process of trading with customers can be made easier. This innovative platform happens to provide us with the flexibility and functionality we need. And the CommerceEdge platform is run and managed by Infosys, and OSG doesn't need to invest extra."

Samson David, vice president and director of Infosys Business Platforms Division, said: “The choice of Infosys CommerceEdge to transform the e-commerce platform is a wise decision for OSG. Digital commerce is becoming more and more important for manufacturing companies like OSG. A range of innovative products and platforms, Infosys, is playing an important role in helping manufacturing companies in Japan and around the world more effectively reach digital consumers."
