Zenport Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Fumiyuki Ota) has released the “Excel File Preview Feature” on message boards as a new functionality for “ZENPORT,” a data hub that centrally manages all global supply chain data.
This feature was developed based on specific feedback from customers and became available on June 27, 2025.
Challenges in Excel File Review Operations
In global supply chains, large volumes of “unstructured data” such as Excel files and PDFs are exchanged daily. These include Excel files necessary for order management and shipping operations, as well as customs documentation created in Excel format.
Many customers utilize ZENPORT’s “Message Board” and “Document Management Section” daily to exchange such documents between multiple organizations and users. However, until now, viewing Excel file contents on ZENPORT required downloading and opening the files locally (while image data preview was already available).
For example, in customs operations for imports from China where shipping schedules are tight, Excel file processing is time-critical. In such situations, the following inconveniences were particularly recognized:
- Need to open all files to identify necessary ones
- Manual effort required to download and review multiple attachments
- Need to manage downloaded files in local environments (customer PCs, etc.)
Timely Business Operations Through “Excel File Preview
The new “File Preview” feature enables pre-viewing file contents simply by hovering the cursor, allowing time-critical operations to proceed smoothly:
- Review Excel file contents before downloading
- Quick identification of necessary information from multiple files
This feature enhancement realizes the following efficiencies in Excel file review operations:
- Reduced Review Time: Instant file content understanding without downloading
- Selective Downloads: Carefully select and download only necessary files
- Improved Work Efficiency: Easy comparison of multiple file contents
Users can now preview Excel files on the message board
It is possible to see previews of Excel files on the message board
Feature Development Reflecting User Needs
ZENPORT supports the improvement of customer operations and management quality through the collaboration of technology and humans, based on our “Human in the Loop” philosophy.
This feature was developed based on actual user requests stating: “It’s cumbersome to download all Excel files when receiving multiple files via messages.”
ZENPORT will continue to listen earnestly to customer voices and provide the latest and best operational experiences through continuous feature development and improvements that respond to real-world needs.
ZENPORT: Toward a World Where Richness and Innovation Emerge from Cognitive Diversity
ZENPORT aims to realize a world where data, people, and economies worldwide are seamlessly connected, and richness and innovation are sustained through the utilization of cognitive diversity.
Under this philosophy, we have built an ecosystem where all stakeholders can make optimal decisions based on cross-organizational data. This is achieved through our proprietary integrated architecture “ZenConnect” that organically links data across all processes and organizations, combined with the standard data integration platform “ZenSync” and personalized operational experience UI “ZenGrid.”

April 8, 2025
Zenport Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Fumiyuki Ota) has released a new action button feature for “ZenGrid,” the customizable table view in “ZENPORT,” a data hub that comprehensively manages all global supply chain data.
This feature was developed based on customer feedback, is already available to all users, and will serve as the foundation for future AI agent functionality.
Excel Remains the Standard for Data Sharing Between Stakeholders
In global supply chains involving numerous stakeholders—including importers, exporters, and multiple logistics companies—Excel spreadsheets remain the most commonly used method for data sharing across organizations and borders.
In global supply chains, importers create order information, exporters create shipment information, and logistics companies create transportation information. However, EDI systems are rarely fully implemented across the mesh-like network of stakeholders, leaving manual processes and Excel spreadsheets to connect these disparate information sources.
One-Step Operations Achieved with Action Buttons
Many of ZENPORT’s customers have expressed their desire to replace their existing Excel spreadsheets. As part of the “Beyond Excel” project that aims to exceed Excel’s usability, we have significantly improved the intuitiveness and operability of our user interface.
The new “Action Button Feature” operates directly on ZENPORT’s customizable table view “ZenGrid” screen, allowing users to perform key operations without having to switch to the map screen.
This feature delivers:
- Significantly reduced operational steps
- Time savings for shipment and order management
- Reduced user operational burden
These improvements contribute to the overall efficiency of the entire supply chain operation.
User-Centered Feature Development Based on “Human in the Loop” Philosophy
This feature was developed based on actual user feedback, following ZENPORT’s “Human in the Loop” philosophy, which emphasizes the cooperation between technology and humans to improve the quality of customers’ operations and management.
This enhancement is a step toward eliminating small daily operational stresses and providing an environment where all stakeholders involved in the supply chain can concentrate on more essential tasks.
ZENPORT will continue to listen sincerely to customer voices and develop features that respond to ongoing field needs, striving to provide the most up-to-date and optimal operational experience.
