From product innovations to industry accolades, here’s a look back at some of the highlights that defined our year.
Kneat Gx 9.3 Release: Digital Validation, Your Way
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:

- 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.
