first, taktik(z) will understand whom you are doing business with today, and receive an electronic report of your recent purchasing activity. we’ll work with your suppliers to insure that the latest parts and pricing information is updated for your buying profile, and perform any data cleaning or validation that is necessary.

simultaneously, we will set up the purchasing locations that you designate, with all correct ship to and bill to information assigned to the appropriate user IDs and related passwords.

training is typically performed in a day, with several test orders placed and verified as part of the training process. once everyone is trained, you are activated on taktik(z) MarketPlace and ready to place live orders.
