Dear colleagues, the June issue from the IT department is for your attention. You can find this issue, as well as all previous ones, on our website.

| What's New |
The mechanism for generating transport documents in GTI has been completely redesigned. It is now possible to specify particular invoices and their related services when creating Certificate of Transportation Expenses. For Client Requests for Freight Forwarding Services you can select the scan of a bill of lading attached to the deal, from which GTI will automatically recognize and extract the details of the Sender, Consignee as well as weight, volume, packaging, etc.
In addition, you can select the contract and signatories from the client and the Holding office, accountants and managers. All these settings can be made immediately before printing the document, while priority data is offered by default, minimizing checks and possible edits.
Experiments with document scan recognition showed a fairly good result, the error occurs only with unclear copies or protected documents. General recommendation: the text pulled from the scans should be carefully checked before sending to the Client. |
| The AI assistant has passed testing and is finally on the Formag website. |
| A new onboarding platform has been developed and is now available for testing at onboarding.gtinvest.com. The new system actively uses AI for training, testing, and information retrieval. |

|
The creation of a system for automatic generation of T1 declarations has begun. For maximum simplification, data is recognized using AI from scans of accompanying documents.
|
|
|
A project to automate Google spreadsheets is being developed: a system of data readiness statuses with automatic distribution has been implemented, which allows avoiding accidental edits.

|
We help prepare data on air traffic volumes as a basis for discussing terms when meeting with clients.

You may have encountered a ban on creating an order for a transaction. This is due to the lack of payment from the client: GTI checks the credit terms in the client's card and if the credit time is exceeded, it blocks the transaction. Most likely, there is simply no data on the credit terms in the database - then the program considers the standard three days from the moment the invoice was issued. In this case, it is enough to enter the agreed number of days in the client's card - this is done on the first tab in the Credit time (days) field.

Keyboard shortcuts for better productivity:
A useful habit for home and office, so that children, cats or colleagues do not accidentally send someone abracadabra to the work chat.
When going to a coffee break, press Win+L.
The computer will instantly lock and require a password.
All open programs and documents will remain untouched.
—
Everyone knows that Ctrl+Z cancels the last action with the text. But there is a cooler magic.
Works in any browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera) and even in the standard "Explorer" of Windows 11.
If you accidentally close an important tab with a site or a folder with documents, press Ctrl+Shift+T.
It will immediately reopen in exactly the same place.
Repeated presses will return previously closed tabs in turn.
—
Smilies are always at hand on smartphones, but on a computer in the same Word or when filling out forms on websites, they are difficult to find.
How to call: Place the cursor anywhere in the text input and press Win + . [period] (in Cyrillic this is the letter Ю).
A convenient window will pop up with all the emojis, GIF animations and even special characters (degrees °, diameters Ø, etc.), which you often have to search for through search.

Is it possible to search without AI?
|
|
|
|
|
At its annual developer conference, Google announced that the usual list of links would gradually be replaced by an intelligent agent. This algorithm would independently answer queries, perform tasks, and monitor. The company called it the biggest update in the past 25 years, but some of the audience perceived the changes as an attempt to impose technologies that do not always work correctly. Criticism intensified due to fears that AI reviews would destroy the open web, as users would be less likely to go to primary sources. In addition, AI often gives inaccurate answers.
Some of the audience began to go to alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo. According to DuckDuckGo, traffic to search pages without AI increased threefold in the day after the announcement, and the numbers continue to grow. The search engine even released browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that allow you to do its version of search without AI.

Quantum is not a science fiction anymore
|
Recognizing that quantum computing has officially left the realm of science fiction, the U.S. government took historic action, channeling billions in CHIPS Act funding into quantum startups and signing two sweeping executive orders. Why the sudden urgency? Quantum computers use subatomic physics to process data simultaneously, giving them the potential to solve problems that would take today's fastest supercomputers millennia to crack. That includes the ability to easily shatter the digital encryption protecting global banking, national security, and personal data. Washington's aggressive new directives officially mandate a timeline to build a highly advanced national quantum computer by 2028, while simultaneously forcing vital infrastructure to upgrade to "quantum-resistant" security by 2031. It is a clear signal to the world: the quantum era is no longer a distant dream—it's actively arriving.
