ZENPORT Releases “Excel File Preview Feature” Enabling Efficient Review of “Unstructured Data”
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.
