Customer Testimonials

„Through the linkage to the NTG Clearing Center, we were able to implement the electronic data exchange
with myToys in almost no time and without elaborate modifications. Just a contents check was carried out
within the test phase. And then NTG took care of the conversion into the myToys format.“
Ulrich Hirsch, managing director - Clementoni GmbH, 2019

„Direct EDI linkages of retailers are no problem for Hudora. However, linkage projects via NTG have the charm
that the project as well as the maintenance of the interface preserves our IT resources. With one interface we
can reach several retailers. So the linkage only caused a minimum effort and was not really a project.“
Jan Odenthal, Customer Service Sales - HUDORA GmbH, 2019

NTG supports our EDI processes through flexibility in the programming. The customer service is excellent.”
Robert Sckell, Data Exchange Business Consultant - LEGO GmbH, 2019

“EDI connections are a challenge, because you have to adapt to the individual requirements of the variable
data and the master data. With myToys however, the linkage just involved minor modifications, since the main
work and the standardisation of the interfaces connected with it, is already carried out by the joint partner
NTG.”
Sascha Dörner, Key Account Manager - Revell GmbH, 2019
NTG links trade and industry quickly and easily.

                                 Thanks to strong founding members and valuable industrial partners, we
                                 know about the crucial points within the toys sector. As a service provider,
                                 we attach great importance on transparency. Wherever data are collected
                                 or saved, you as a customer have complete insight into all our processes –
                                 and you can also participate in the improvement if you wish!

     What does it mean?

     customer.

         Orders
         Order confirmations
         Delivery notes
         Credit notes and debit advices
         Return notifications
