About Zenport
One Grid, Beyond Boundaries.
ZENPORT(https://zenport.io/) is a data integration platform (Data Hub) designed for global supply chains. We connect the entire business processes, data formats, and stakeholders, including both structured and unstructured data, for global supply chains on our platform, where each stakeholder can personalize the UI based on their own perspective, enabling real-time collaboration across borders.
Turmoil over global supply chains—sparked by the U.S. government’s shifting tariff policies and deepened by geopolitical uncertainties—has forced businesses worldwide to rethink how they collaborate across borders. To meet this demand, ZENPORT is evolving as an Agile Data Integration Platform to help global enterprises stay adaptive, connected, and empowered.
