Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Zerio is a software platform for cross-border supply chain security compliance, targeting trusted-trader programs including CTPAT (US), OEA and PIP. It converts written security policies and paper-based procedures into structured, assignable controls with required evidence trails, covering activities from the manufacturing floor through trucking, border crossings and retail docks. Paper checklists, inspection forms and signature sheets — for example fluid-leak checks and seven-point trailer inspections — become mobile workflows that capture photo evidence, location stamps and identity-bound actions, linked back to the relevant shipment and certification. The mobile capture works offline and syncs when connectivity returns.

The product includes governance features that bind each uploaded document to the submitting user, carrier profiles tied to live CTPAT, OEA or PIP certification numbers so status does not require periodic spreadsheet reconciliation, and a command center showing draft versus approved controls, total assessments, aggregate risk and completion percentage. A multi-program view runs CTPAT, OEA and PIP side by side with a single risk heatmap plotting likelihood against impact across controls. Records are maintained in what the company describes as an immutable, audit-grade ledger with approval states and risk scoring. An Android application published by Zerio, Inc. describes the offering as an AI-powered trust management platform that automates security compliance for companies operating international facilities, logistics and supplier networks.
