Our strength

Our strength lies in our "market delivery system," which delivers fruit from the market via the shortest possible route.

Arrows' Strengths #1: “Order-Based Procurement" Eliminates Unnecessary Inventory

At Arrows, we source products only after receiving customer orders
・ Avoiding excess inventory
・ Before freshness declines
・ We only deliver products in prime condition
“Sourcing only that what is needed,” not “assuming left-over inventory.”
This simple philosophy enables us to balance both quality and price.

Arrows' Strengths #2: A Market-Recognized Overwhelming Sense of Speed

Arrows' procurement process is exceptionally speedy.
・ Orders are accepted from the day before, to noon (2:00-3:00PM) on the day of purchase
・ Orders are immediately placed with the market
・ Next day shipment straight from the market
This swift process has earned trust from market wholesalers and distributors as a “highly unusual and well-regarded process.”

The Benefits of This Speed: Dramatically Reduced Lead Times for Overseas Shipments

By eliminating unnecessary time between procurement and shipment,
・ Lead times for domestic delivery are minimized
・ The shortest possible lead times for overseas shipments is can be achieved
Arrows' system solves the weakness of overseas fruit shipments, the time gap after procurement in Japan.
