What Is LOGILESS
LOGILESS, one of our key partner companies, provides a unified cloud logistics platform combining OMS and WMS to streamline e-commerce operations in Japan.
This column highlights the essential features and API structure of LOGILESS from a practical, developer-friendly perspective.
About LOGILESS
Company: Logiless Inc (株式会社ロジレス), headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
Business: SaaS logistics platform, focused on e-commerce logistics and fulfillment.
Core Offering: An integrated OMS (Order Management System) + WMS (Warehouse Management System)
What Services LOGILESS Provides
1. API-Driven Architecture
Because LOGILESS has strong API support, English-speaking developers can integrate their systems (e.g. Shopify, ERP) relatively easily without relying only GUI-based features.
2. One Unified System (OMS + WMS)
Instead of juggling multiple local systems in Japan, non-Japanese teams can manage orders and inventory in a single cloud platform, which removes the need to connect separate OMS and WMS systems.
3. Automation Reduces Manual Work
High automation means fewer manual tasks for teams, reducing the risk of errors when working across different workflows or environments.
4. Cost Savings in Japanese Logistics
For brands shipping within Japan (or operating with Japanese warehouse partners), LOGILESS can optimize shipping and reduce cost through smart routing and collaboration with logistics operators.
Their integration with Japanese carriers (e.g., Yamato or Sagawa) supports more efficient and less error-prone domestic fulfillment processes.
5. Well-Documented Help / Support
LOGILESS has a help center and documentation. While it's primarily Japanese, the structured API docs can be used by English-speaking engineers.
Their usage model (merchant / operator) is clear, which helpes both domestic and overseas teams onboard and collaborate smoothly with local Japanese 3PLs or warehouses.
6. Operational Roles / User Types
Merchant: E-commerce businesses that takes orders, manages product master data, and communicates with warehouses.
Operator: Warehouse / logistics partner who manages shipments, inventory, and works within WMS.
7. Logiless Pricing
Initial setup fee: ¥0 (no initial cost)
Monthly base fee: ¥20,000 (tax included: ¥22,000)
Volume-based (usage) fee: Metered based on the number of shipments / orders (“従量課金”)
Free tier: They mention a “free usage allowance” (無料枠) depending on the volume.
This makes it more accessible for smaller e-commerce businesses, while still supporting growth.
Key Information about Logiless Developer / API
1. API for Integration
LOGILESS provides a developer API that lets external systems interact with Logiless data (orders, shipments, inventory, etc.).
This API is useful for integrating Logiless with:
2. Authentication
The Logiless API uses OAuth2 for authentication.
To use the API, developers must register an “application” in the Logiless developer portal.
After application registration and review (3–5 business days), LOGILESS issues a Client ID and Client Secret.
3. API Terms of Use
There is a published API usage agreement (利用規約) that defines rights and obligations for API users.
The agreement includes rules about security, rate limits, data usage, and confidentiality.
The API is generally free to use (“無償”) under typical usage conditions (unless otherwise agreed).
4. Use Cases
You can pull and push:
- Master data: products, suppliers, inventory
- Transactional data: orders, delivery/shipping data
This makes LOGILESS a powerful backend for integrating e-commerce operations with your own analytics or ERP system.
5. Developer Onboarding
Must have a LOGILESS account before applying for the developer portal.
Application for API access is reviewed manually.
Once approved, you can start development using their developer documentation.
6. Security / API Key Management
You get a Client ID / Secret, so API access must be securely stored.
As per terms, API keys are non-transferable.
Users of the API are responsible for securing their access (managing refresh tokens, storing keys, etc.).
7. Third-Party Integrations
LOGILESS is integrated with Shopify via a Shopify app, which simplifies order and inventory sync.
LOGILESS also supports API integration with other systems; e.g., a warehouse or inventory system like BOSS system.
8. Evolving Features
LOGILESS is proactively adding new API-accessible features. For example, they have a “smart picking” feature in their WMS+ plan, designed for warehouse operations.
They announced a partnership to connect with Temu via API, showing ongoing expansion.
