It’s Tax Day!!!

Thanks to the 15th falling on a weekend, we’ve had a few extra days to file taxes.  Now the time has come to give Uncle Sam his cut – be sure you post your returns before midnight tonight!

New Procedures for Unresponsive Suppliers

The GTO Accuracy Guru team works tirelessly to ensure you have the most current supplier information.  However, there are times when even our best efforts don’t get a response.

Here’s how we’re handling it:

  1. You request a supplier.
  2. The Accuracy Guru team creates a new supplier in the GTO system or tries to contact the supplier for updated pricing within 24 business hours.
  3. If there is no response, the team follows up every 3 days for 21 days via phone, email, and voicemail.
  4. If there is still no response after 21 days, the request will be moved to “unresponsive status” and you will be notified via email.
  5. Once moved to unresponsive, the supplier request is closed.

If you have information for the supplier or still require their information for an active proposal, please submit another request.  We will then continue to try to connect with the supplier periodically for another 21 days.

Community Forum

Don’t forget to check the Community Forum for system updates, advice, and more!  Check the My Apps tab in GTO.

Help!

We have an easy way for you to submit a Help Desk request!  Just send an email to help@gtonetwork.com and BE SURE TO PUT THE WORD HELP IN THE SUBJECT LINE.  This will automatically create a ticket and will email you updates as your ticket is being worked on.
