Launched the B2 Cloud API on June 12,
Enabling Integrated Waybill Issuance from Customer Systems
Automatic data integration enables seamless operation from order receipt to shipment
Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President:
Yutaka Nagao; hereinafter "Yamato Transport") announces that, as of Wednesday, June 12, 2024, it
has published its B2 Cloud API, enabling customers to issue waybills for TA-Q-BIN and otherservices directly from their systems.
1. Background and Objectives
With the recent expansion of the e-commerce market, an increasing number of retailers have begun
to sell their products not only through physical stores but also through multiple e-commerce sites,
creating the challenge of complicated order and inventory management and shipping arrangements
via multiple websites. Amid these issues, an increasing number of e-commerce businesses areutilizing systems that handle all e-commerce processes, from opening websites and ordering to sales.
In May 2017, Yamato Transport began offering the Waybill Issuing System B2 Cloud for corporate
customers to issue waybills for TA-Q-BIN and other services. Today, this cloud service is used by morethan 500,000 customers.
However, the waybill issuance process has until now required e-commerce businesses to set up theWaybill Issuing System B2 Cloud service separately from their e-commerce business-related systems.
This led to a number of requests for direct integration between this cloud service and customer systems.

With the release of the B2 Cloud API, waybills can now be issued directly on e-commerce businessrelated systems without having to operate the Waybill Issuing System B2 Cloud service. This enables
seamless operation from order receipt to shipment, contributing to improved customer convenience.
2. Overview of B2 Cloud API
B2 Cloud API is a web API for utilizing Waybill Issuing System B2 Cloud, a service provided forcorporate customers. By using this API, customers engaged in e-commerce and other businesses
can issue waybills directly from their e-commerce systems without having to separately use theaforementioned cloud service, and data from the issued waybill is integrated automatically.
