Zenport Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Fumiyuki Ota) is pleased to announce that CEO Fumiyuki Ota will be presenting at LOGI NEXT 25, scheduled for November 7, 2025.
This premier event brings together logistics and supply chain leaders from across Japan to discuss the latest industry trends and future outlook. Ota will participate in “Session 5: Startup Pitch,” where he will present ZENPORT’s data integration solutions, comparing domestic logistics challenges with global supply chain complexities to demonstrate comprehensive optimization strategies.
■ The Evolving Role of Modern CLOs
The role of logistics leaders has transformed dramatically from traditional functional managers focused primarily on cost reduction and operational efficiency. Today’s CLO (Chief Logistics Officer) or CSCO (Chief Supply Chain Officer) faces responsibilities that are incomparably more complex and strategic.
Modern CLOs are C-suite executives responsible for far more than simply moving goods. Their mandate spans end-to-end supply chain optimization, encompassing procurement, inventory management, production, warehousing, transportation, and final delivery to customers. They must leverage data analytics and cutting-edge technology to reduce lead times and enhance service levels.
Even more critical is their responsibility for risk management and resilience. CLOs must develop and execute strategies to address unexpected supply chain disruptions, including geopolitical risks, natural disasters, and regulatory changes. This includes building strong supplier relationships, securing alternative supply networks, and developing contingency plans to predict and minimize the impact of potential crises and excute the plan when any urgency happens.
■ Data Integration: The Key to Supply Chain Transformation
ZENPORT provides innovative solutions based on data integration to address the challenges facing modern CLOs. Ota’s presentation will cover:
1. Comparative Analysis: Domestic Logistics vs. Global Supply Chains
2. Breaking Down Data Silos for Comprehensive Optimization
3. ZENPORT Solution Case Studies

Zenport Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Fumiyuki Ota) announces a major update to SmartGrid, the core feature of ZENPORT, a comprehensive data hub for global supply chain management. This update significantly improves the efficiency of manual data entry operations.
The update implements Autofill and SmartFill functionality across both order management and shipping management processes, significantly reducing the workload associated with manual data entry that has long plagued the industry.
■ The Challenge of Data Entry in Global Supply Chains
In global supply chain management, entering order and shipping information is a fundamental daily operation. However, these tasks have presented several persistent challenges:
- Time loss from repetitive entry of identical or similar data
- Reduced efficiency when re-entering data during corrections and updates
- Difficulty in reusing patterned information
- Risk of human error and burden of verification work
For companies with high transaction volumes, these challenges accumulate to hundreds of hours of work per month, becoming a major impediment to operational efficiency.
■ Enhanced SmartGrid: Realizing Intelligent Input Assistance
This update equips SmartGrid with the following innovative features:
Autofill Function: Batch Information Retrieval by Order Unit
- Automatically populates related data by referencing past order information
- Instantly retrieves product masters, trading partner information, and delivery conditions
- Minimizes manual input points, reducing entry time by 70% compared to conventional methods
User-Specific Pattern Storage: Easy Reuse of Frequent Patterns
- Individual users can save frequently used input patterns
- Apply patterns instantly with intuitive drag-and-drop operation
- Enable best practice sharing within teams
SmartFill Function: Preserving Input During Modifications
- Automatically retains unchanged items during data corrections and updates
- Understands context and appropriately updates only related fields
- Enables accurate modification work without reducing input speed
■ Effective Across Both Order and Shipping Management Processes
These enhancements deliver value across two critical supply chain processes:
Order Management Process
- Reduces order processing time through automatic entry of trading conditions and delivery information
- Streamlines input work from purchase order through partial shipments and backlog management
Shipping Management Process
- Supports matching of data of products on each shipment with ERP data
- Supports registration of shipping document information including B/L, Invoice, and Packing List
■ Continuous Improvement Based on “Human in the Loop” Philosophy
ZENPORT embraces the “Human in the Loop” philosophy, deeply understanding users’ actual workflows to drive truly valuable feature development. This SmartGrid enhancement was developed based on feedback from hundreds of customer companies.
The system learns from usage patterns and optimizes for each company’s and user’s business patterns. This creates an evolving platform that becomes more efficient with continued use.

Event Background
India as a New Option in the Global Supply Chain Transition
Amid rising geopolitical risks and pandemic-driven supply chain reassessment, Japanese companies are rapidly diversifying their procurement and production bases. India has emerged as a key destination for the “China+1” strategy and one of the world’s largest consumer markets.
The Indian government’s “Make in India” strategy actively promotes manufacturing development and infrastructure improvement. With annual economic growth exceeding 7%, India is predicted to become the world’s third-largest economy in the 2030s, surpassing Japan. Many Japanese companies in automotive, electronics, and chemicals are strengthening their India operations, with logistics infrastructure developing rapidly.
However, India presents unique challenges including vast territory, complex tax systems, and diverse business practices. Understanding local logistics and building appropriate supply chain strategies is crucial for successful market entry.
Public-Private Partnership Supporting Japanese Companies
