Robert Van Zandt , Product Development

“At Zethcon, we believe in building responsive, efficient, feature-rich products that enable our clients to be more competitive in their respective markets. When our clients succeed, we succeed.”

Robert oversees Zethcon’s software development initiatives and is responsible for all application software, middleware, and database development. He has over 10 years of technical management and application development experience in delivering systems and software products to the transportation and 3PL sectors.

Prior to joining Zethcon, Robert ran two companies that provided technical consulting services to both international and domestic business. He also served as President of CanTRACK, the first company to market a web-based asset management tool that tracks airline and ocean freight containers. His 13 years of global experience includes start-up, medium and large technology organizations, with emphasis on enterprise software, hardware and service.

When Robert isn’t asking clients what features they would like to see added to their Synapse software, he’s golfing, fishing or enjoying an RV adventure with his wife and three children.
