ZENPORT Inc. obtained a patent in the function of its service Zenport on July 28.

Patent details
In November 2018, ZENPORT Corporation applied for a patent on the functions of Zenport, a service provided by the company and this was granted in July 2020.

The function for which the patent has been obtained relates to a logistics management device, the method, and a program that manages the ordering and transportation of goods. This function makes it possible to visualize, easily grasp, and edit the relationship between orders and cargoes, thereby streamlining the integrated management of transactions from ordering to transportation.

What is ZENPORT?
ZENPORT is an open platform that reduces the cumbersome communication work that occurs in the trade supply chain by 50%.

In the trade supply chain, Excel, email, and phone calls between various parties, such as importers, exporters, and logistics companies, are a daily occurrence and require a large amount of communication. However, until now, this has primarily been solved only by expensive and closed consolidation systems between a limited number of companies.
Zenport has developed a cloud app with a unique standard data structure and interface that is open and flexible enough to be used by a wide variety of parties. This enables more companies to operate their trade supply chain faster and more agilely and to optimize their inventory and production.
