UTi Worldwide Chooses GTKonnect Software for Exports, Imports and ISF Filing

IRVINE, Calif. - Sept. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Netwin Solutions, Inc., a premier provider of integrated global supply chain security (SCS) and trade management (GTM) solutions and the company powering the GTKonnect suite, is announcing that UTi Worldwide, a global supply chain services and solutions company, is using Netwin’s GTKonnect Exports, Imports, inbonds, C-TPAT and ISF filing software modules.

UTi is an international, non-asset-based supply chain services and solutions company providing air and ocean freight forwarding, contract logistics, customs brokerage, distribution, inbound logistics, truckload brokerage, and other supply chain management services.  It began implementing GTKonnect as its brokerage operating system for its uClear+ application, offered to clients to manage their exports, inbonds, imports, and ISF filing, a year ago.

“Our experience with the implementation of GTKonnect’s suite of tools for exports, imports and ISF has been extremely positive.  We found that our clients like the added visibility that is available with uClear+ now that we use GTKonnect..The application has allowed UTi to increase productivity, while reducing employee training time,” said Jason Measures, Global Director of Compliance.

The company uses:

GTKonnect Imports – customs brokerage software to automate and streamline its import entry processing.
GTKonnect Export – Automated Export System (AES)software for end-to-end export compliance and management.
GTKonnect ISF – allowing for compliant and efficient ISF filings, through manual entry, use of client specific templates and integration with order management tools.
GTKonnect Inbond – enabling electronic filing of ITs, IEs and T&Efor managing in bond filing through ACE.
GTKonnect for Global Supply Chain Security – facilitating the management of Custom Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT).

“GTKonnect has excelled in system availability with a 99.9% uptime during operational hours, and responses to issues, questions, changes and needs has been spot on with response times better than expected,” said Jason.

In the next few months UTi will begin additional implementations of GTKonnect’s AMS, Global Parts Database, and Reconciliation module.

“While with any implementation it is prudent to take a very cautious approach, the past year has shown our import and export operations that the GTKonnect team is a reliable partner in our operation and a true extension of our team.  We are thankful for the great service and look forward to a strong, continued partnership,” continued Jason.

“Just as UTi is built on a client-centric focus, we aim to put our customers first when it comes to developing and implementing our GTKonnect software,” said Anand Raghavendran, president and CEO of Netwin Solutions.  “We are happy to work with a global leader like UTi, and we look forward to continuing to help them provide their customers with a competitive advantage in their supply chains as we work together to help further fuel the industry.”
