When issues arise, you can easily locate any documentation, training or communication that occurred in the validation, maintenance, and review process.
Build your own

“When we decided to take advantage by becoming an FTZ, we quickly got to software selection and compared GTKonnect FTZ against other leading providers. What we found in GTK was the willingness to work with our specific situation, the flexibility to accommodate our IT requirements and timelines for integration with our existing ERP and the excellent support to our team to help with a smooth go live, especially since we were completely new to this whole FTZ process. Their tool automates almost 100% leaving us just to intervene on an exception basis resulting in a smooth zone operation day in day out..”
