Question 1

What is the Tapnet Deployment Protocol?

The Tapnet Deployment Protocol is our fixed-scope, fixed-timeline methodology for deploying logistics automation. It consists of 4 phases — Diagnose, Connect, Automate, Deploy — completed in 14 days. Scope and price are agreed upfront before any work begins.

Question 2

What is logistics orchestration?

Accepted Answer

Logistics orchestration is the practice of connecting all your operational tools — Sage, WhatsApp, GPS, ERPs — into one unified system that automates workflows end-to-end. Instead of disconnected tools and manual handoffs (the manual layer), an orchestration layer ensures every process triggers the next automatically.
