Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
-
What is EDI?
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic exchange of routine business transactions. These transactions include such documents as purchase orders, invoices, inquiries, planning, acknowledgements, pricing, order status, scheduling, test results, shipping and receiving, payments, and financial reporting.
-
What makes EDI work?
EDI permits hundreds of unrelated companies to communicate and process business transactions electronically. EDI works because it relies on a standard system that everyone can use and is developed under the guidelines of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the coordinator for national standards in the United States.
-
What are the advantages of EDI?
It saves a lot of trees. Traditionally, the manufacture and sale of new products and services has been accompanied by a long paper trail consisting of order forms, invoices, bills of lading, and a variety of documents containing specific but crucial data.
Reefer Service
We have a secure designated Reefer section to better serve our customers within our terminal. Our terminal Refer Plug-in Capacity is 110 Reefers.

All container movements within the yard are monitored and security guards physically check each and every vehicle, truck and chassis that enters or exits the terminal.
Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)
The GT Group is a proud member and certified by Customs-Trade Partnership against Terrorism (C-TPAT). C-TPAT is a joint government-business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen overall supply chain and border security. C-TPAT recognizes that customs can provide the highest level of security only through close cooperation with the ultimate owners of the supply chain-importers, carriers, brokers, warehouse operators and manufacturers.
Through this initiative, customs are asking businesses to ensure the integrity of their security practices and communicate their security guidelines to their business partners within the supply chain.
Partners In Protection (PIP)
Partners in Protection (PIP) is a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) program that enlists the cooperation of private industry to enhance border and trade chain security, combat organized crime and terrorism and help detect and prevent contraband smuggling. It is a voluntary program with no membership fee that aims to secure the trade chain, one partnership at a time.
Industry strongly supports the PIP program and greatly values the commitment of PIP members to do their part, together with the CBSA, to secure the supply chain and facilitate legitimate trade.
