What we are trying to enforce from our role and responsibility to better serve clients AND product upgrade:

• Aim to actively translate the CT client SLA into gateway operations and to monitor and manage performance accordingly.
• Seek to simplify and standardize processes and tasks, with an eye toward automating where possible.
• Actively gather and share feedback from operations and clients with the product and tech teams, continually closing gaps in our systems and solutions. We already have solid examples, such as requirements of trading companies and PO-level CTN/CBM data entries, which have been raised with and supported by the product and tech teams.
• Collaborate with destination AE/OMs on articulating the value proposition to CT clients and explore upsell opportunities e.g FAK and related solutions (e.g., Buyers consolidation).
