Zetes: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Zetes is a Belgian company headquartered in Brussels that provides software and hardware for logistics and supply-chain operations. Its product lines include ZetesMedea for warehouse execution, ZetesZeus for product traceability and asset tracking, field-service and proof-of-delivery applications, and rugged mobile computers, scanners and label printers. Its customers run warehouses, distribution and track-and-trace processes, and the company describes itself as an adviser on the supply chain.

Zetes is based in Belgium and is subject to the GDPR, which its privacy notice references. Since 2017 it has been a subsidiary of Japan's Panasonic Corporation and has been integrated into the Panasonic Connect group, so its ownership sits outside Europe, a point European buyers should weigh when assessing jurisdiction. The privacy notice does not state where customer data is stored, so the hosting location and processors should be confirmed contractually. The software is commercial and not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Zetes

Zetes is headquartered in BE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in JP. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Zetes scores best on data residency.

Zetes is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Zetes together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
