ZENPORT Releases “ZenGrid Action Button Feature” — Laying the Foundation for AI Agent Capabilities as Part of the “Beyond Excel” Project to Strengthen Excel Alternative Solutions

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.

ZENPORT: Towards a World Where Cognitive Diversity Creates Prosperity and Innovation

ZENPORT aims to create a world where data, people, and economies across the globe are seamlessly connected, and where prosperity and innovation are sustained through the utilization of cognitive diversity.

With this philosophy, ZENPORT has built an ecosystem where all stakeholders can make optimal decisions based on cross-organizational data. This is achieved through its proprietary integrated architecture “ZenConnect” at its core, which organically links data from all processes and organizations, along with the standard data integration platform “ZenSync” and the personalized business experience UI “ZenGrid.”

“ZenGrid” is our customizable table view with functionality that surpasses Excel spreadsheets and serves as the core component of our “Beyond Excel” project. While maintaining the intuitive operation of Excel, it provides advanced features necessary for global supply chain management, significantly improving user operational efficiency.
