The goal of the project was to bring remarkable changes to Japan's agricultural industry, equipping YANMAR as well as Japanese farmers better to compete with products from all over the world by positioning themselves as a "Premium Brand". The website does not only mention about YANMAR's belief, but also serves as an online storefront where purchase orders are accepted.
Declining food self-sufficiency rate and the participation of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) resulted in challenges prompting Japanese farmers to improve the agricultural industry. While large-scale farm operators asked for new innovations to bring revolutions, YANMAR answered by launching the "YANMAR Premium Brand Project", aiming to "create a new agricultural style".
The online store adopts parallax effect and responsive design techniques that rarely exist on similar sites. Such design provides visitors a rich browsing experience so that they are just like actually fitting, feeling and touching the products, while at the same time help facilitating the PDCA management process. Anticipating increasing number of access from smart devices, extra efforts were spent on user interface design to make customers a great browsing experience regardless what devices they are using.
500 agricultural clothing items sold in 2014/4-5 after the launch of the online store.
