Our customers are on the front lines of some of the most hazardous, demanding, and time-sensitive professions in the world,” said Jim Rimay, Getac ‘s president. “Consolidating the numerous steps of packing, drop-off, diagnosis, repair, and shipment entirely with FedEx provides Getac customers with unprecedented turnaround times and open system visibility for tracking both the transit and repair status online.”

Getac’s joint effort with FedEx will enable the tech company to more easily and efficiently meet the demand for its products, which are employed in military, police, government, manufacturing and transportation applications.
