Integrated – Scalable – Connected

The most important trait of the BTS suite of products is that they are internally and externally connected. All our systems are seamlessly integrated to avoid any unnecessary data entry and ‘information bottlenecks’. The BTS suite is also built on XML standards to ensure that existing EDI facilities can be easily scalable in the future.
