ZENPORT Launches Major SmartGrid Enhancement ~Autofill and SmartFill Features Significantly Improve Data Entry Efficiency~

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.
