Japanese staffing firm, Persol Holdings Co., Ltd. announced it has invested in OpenLogi Co., Ltd., a Tokyo-based logistics fulfilment platform.

Persol is developing a logistics fulfilment platform through its Employment Creation Fund, developed by Persol Venture Partners, which invests in mega-ventures that will rapidly expand their organisations to over 1,000 people in the future and become a driving force for employment in Japan. Financial details were not disclosed.

OpenLogi's mission is to "move the future of logistics.” The company, founded in 2013, said it aims to use technology to improve the efficiency of previously analogue logistics operations. Through this investment, the group will utilise Persol Group's recruitment support and human resource development know-how to help solve challenges and grow the logistics industry.

Last month, Persol announced it invested in Tokyo-based Class Co., Ltd., which operates a PaaS (Product as a Service) platform for durable consumer goods.
