Zenport Introduces Excel File Preview Feature

In a significant development for businesses managing global supply chains, Zenport has announced the launch of its Excel file preview feature as part of its comprehensive data hub, ZENPORT. This new functionality, which allows users to preview Excel files directly on the messaging board, aims to enhance the management of unstructured data and facilitate more efficient business processes. The feature will officially be available starting June 27, 2025, following extensive feedback from users.

Addressing the Challenges of Unstructured Data

With the relentless flow of unstructured data, such as Excel files and PDFs exchanged daily within the global supply chain, the need for effective data management is more critical than ever. Businesses frequently handle various documents essential for order placement, shipment management, and customs declarations, all of which are often created in Excel. Previously, users needed to download Excel files to review their contents, a cumbersome process that created bottlenecks in time-sensitive operations, such as customs clearance for imports from countries like China.

The inefficiencies caused by this process became apparent, leading to:

• - The need to open multiple files to locate the necessary documents
• - Time-consuming downloads of several attachments
• - Management of downloaded files on local devices (like customer PCs)

These complications underscored the demand for a more streamlined approach to file verification within the platform.

Enhancing Efficiency Through File Preview

The newly introduced file preview feature offers a solution by allowing users to hover over a file to view its contents without having to first download it. This advancement significantly improves operational speed and efficiency by enabling:

• - Instant content verification of Excel files before downloading
• - Quick identification of necessary information across multiple files

The benefits of this feature include:

• - Reduced verification time: Understand file content immediately without downloads
• - Selective downloading: Download only essential files, improving workflow
• - Enhanced productivity: Easier comparison of content across several documents

Emphasizing User-Centric Development

The development of the Excel file preview function reflects Zenport's commitment to listening to user needs. The company operates under the philosophy of “Human in the loop,” aiming to enhance the quality of client operations and management through technological cooperation. The feature's creation stemmed from user feedback about the difficulties encountered when receiving multiple Excel files via messages, where downloading each one was time-consuming.

Zenport is committed to continuously addressing customer feedback and evolving its functionality to ensure users receive the best operational experience possible.
