NEW GTO WEBSITE
// LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT
______________________________
We are on schedule to launch the new GTO website ( www.gtonet.org ) on Monday, 01 November, 2021.

Please note GTO HQ Operations and GTO HQ Management are still working on parts of the new GTO website. We are attending to some small details even as we launch the new GTO website.

GTO HQ Operations is in the process of sending emails to each GTO Member company to request assistance, in each case, to reset their passwords as well as update their GTO Member company profiles for the new GTO website.

The emails from GTO HQ Operations provide access to a temporary GTO URL as we prepare to merge all existing GTO websites by 01 November, 2021.
.

This temporary URL is the new GTO website. But to gain entry to the GTO membership directory to make changes, etc., it shall require the newly assigned permanent GTO Member ID Number and a temporary password.

Those are being provided in the emails from GTO HQ Operations.

GTO Member companies are being asked to enter the temporary working URL to reset the temporary password with one of their choice as well as proceed to update their company profiles in each case.

In the future, GTO Members shall be required to use their permanent newly assigned GTO Member ID Numbers and chosen passwords to access the GTO membership directory in the new GTO website.

As of 01 November, 2021, it shall be the permanent responsibility of each GTO Member company to periodically review all contact information in their profiles and initiate corrections / changes, if any, where necessary..

If your company is a GTO Member and you have NOT received such an email or it has been overlooked, please contact
Travis Summers ( GTO Director of Operations ) ( travis@gtonet.org ) and he shall provide the access information by return email.

As of Thursday 28 October, 2021, the process shall begin to point the domain GTOGLOBAL.COM to the new GTO host server to merge the domain with the new GTO website. This domain shall be " down " for 24 to 48 hours or so as we proceed to point this domain to the new GTO website,

After 24 years of functioning as a main part of GTO and serving everyone very well, the GTO GLOBAL TRANSPORT website ( www.gtoglobal.com ) shall cease to exist. It has served us well for 24 years and it is a bit sad to see it go but GTO is moving in an entirely new direction !

However, all GTO Member company contact details will be in the website with the " temporary URL " as explained above. As of 01 November, 2021, the new GTO website shall function under our official domain ( www.gtonet.org ) and GTO HQ Operations is taking steps to ensure the GTO website is secure.

Please remember a newly assigned permanent GTO Member ID Number and a password shall now be required to enter the GTO membership directory..

Please contact me with any questions and / or requests.

Thank you

Travis Summers

______________________________
Mr. Adil Ashroff  
Chief Operating Officer
GTO NEWS is pleased to present a statement by Mr. Adil Ashroff ( Chief Operating Officer ) of Griffin Kinetic with regard to their new " D Griffin Mobile App ".

Griffin Kinetic has always been focused on delivering exceptional customer value. Adapting innovative solutions such as the D Griffin Mobile App for enhanced supply chain visibility thus became a natural progression in our pursuit of providing unparalleled customer value.

With the D Griffin Mobile App, we are tackling a key problem that has plagued the industry for decades - concerning the fragmented, manual and lack of timeliness when it comes to information sharing. In the maritime sector which comprises multiple stakeholders – from shipping companies, vessel crew and technical teams, this can cause much frustration and cost huge losses impacting operations.

We are creating something to equalize that knowledge gap, so that all key stakeholders can be on the same page with access to on-demand cargo updates, at the same time.

A brief presentation of the new D Griffin Mobile App can be viewed on the following YouTube Video:

We would welcome all inquiries or discussions with any interested GTO Members or GTO Agents worldwide.
