Kneat Gx 9.3 Release: Digital Validation, Your Way 

Seamless Digital Validation With Kneat Gx

In 2024, we launched Kneat Gx 9.3, the latest iteration of our flagship platform. This release introduced several new features and enhancements designed to deliver deep configurability and control. Highlights included: 

  • Entity Masks: Allow customers to customize Kneat Gx their way, so formats fit their business processes and specifications. This greater autonomy further streamlines validation by removing clutter, enhancing ease of use, and speeding training time.

  • UI Enhancements: Kneat Gx 9.3 unveils a host of UI enhancements that enable smoother use, easier administration, greater control, and reporting. 

The release of Kneat Gx 9.3 underscores our commitment to staying at the forefront of digital validation innovation, enabling our customers to achieve greater compliance, efficiency, and data integrity.
