— Strategic Alliance Marks New Era in Digital Trade Operations —

Tokyo, Japan – ZENPORT Inc., a rising force in supply chain technology, today announced a strategic partnership with FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corporation to address the growing challenges of trade document digitisation in Asia’s evolving regulatory landscape.

The collaboration introduces “ZenSync for FUJIFILM IWpro,” integrating ZENPORT’s comprehensive supply chain data management platform with FUJIFILM’s established cloud service. This partnership comes at a crucial time as Asian businesses face mounting pressure to digitise their trade operations following Japan’s 2021 regulatory reforms mandating electronic storage of trade documents.

“This integration represents a fundamental shift in how businesses manage their trade documentation,” said Fumiyuki Ota, CEO of ZENPORT. “By combining our expertise in global supply chain data management with FUJIFILM Business Innovation’s proven cloud solutions, we’re offering a comprehensive answer to the complex challenges of trade digitisation.”

The partnership addresses several critical market needs:

– Automated compliance with Japan’s Electronic Books Preservation Act

– Seamless integration of structured and unstructured trade data

– Streamlined management of shipping and customs documentation

– Enhanced operational efficiency in global trade processes

FUJIFILM Business Innovation, a pioneer in trade document digitisation since Japan’s first electronic trade document storage implementation in 2011, sees the partnership as strategic to its enterprise solutions portfolio. “We’re witnessing a transformation in how businesses handle trade documentation,” said Motoki Takizawa, General Manager of the Business Solutions Division at FUJIFILM Business Innovation. “This collaboration with ZENPORT enables us to offer a one-stop solution that connects all aspects of our customers’ trade operations while ensuring regulatory compliance.”

The partnership highlights the growing trend of collaboration between established corporations and technology innovators in Japan’s evolving digital landscape. As businesses across Asia seek to modernize their operations, such partnerships are becoming increasingly crucial for maintaining competitive advantage in global markets.
