For transport and logistics operators tired of chasing PODs, delayed invoicing and disconnected systems. Connect dispatch, drivers and finance in one workflow.
The load is delivered by lunch. The paperwork takes weeks, and the invoice waits for it.

Illustrative figures from industry benchmarks. Your diagnostic calculates your own.
Dispatch plans and tracks the load, the driver captures proof at the dock, and finance invoices the moment the POD lands. Nothing is typed twice.
Dispatchers stop chasing drivers on WhatsApp. Every load, ETA and exception sits on one screen, so problems surface while there is still time to fix them.
Includes live load tracking, automated dispatching, exception management and KPI dashboards.
Manifests, photos and signatures are captured on the phone at the dock, even with no signal, so the POD exists the moment the load is handed over.
Includes digital manifests and POD, live status updates and in-app messaging, all working offline first.
A signed POD becomes an invoice the same day and posts to your accounting system, so month-end stops being a month of capture.
Includes automated invoicing, payments matched to invoices, credit control and audit-ready reporting.
Want to see it on your own loads?
We walk one of your deliveries from dispatch to invoice on the diagnostic call.
A free, 30-minute call. We map how a delivered load becomes an invoice in your operation and model the four numbers below from your own figures. Against SA logistics cost benchmarks, monthly recovery runs from about R26,000 on a small fleet to R112,000 on a large one.
You leave with a rand value on each delay, your modelled monthly recovery figure, and the workflow to automate first, with a fixed price and go-live date. Bring last month’s invoice run; we confirm a time within 24 hours.
Typical today: 60 days. With Tapnet, modelled: 14 days, 77% faster.

Every tier
Not sure which tier fits? We size it with you on the diagnostic call.
Example: 35 drivers on Starter is R5,000 + 35 × R200 = R12,000 a month, excl. VAT. Setup fees are once-off. Savings are modelled from industry benchmarks; your audit may vary.
Tapnet is a Johannesburg company run by its founder, Wynand de Beer. There is no sales team between you and the engineers: the people on your diagnostic call build your workflows and support them after go-live.

Yes. It is a 30-minute call with no obligation. If Tapnet is not the right fix for your operation, we tell you on the call.
Last month’s invoice run and a rough count of drivers and admin staff. Black out customer names if you prefer; we only need the shape of the numbers.
No. Every package, Starter to Enterprise, is month‑to‑month with 30 days’ notice.
Yes. On Growth, Scale and Enterprise the setup fee can be split into two or three payments.
The app keeps working. The manifest, photos and signature are saved on the phone and sync automatically when the signal comes back.
Driver rollout is part of the Deploy phase: drivers get the app and are trained on live loads, with dispatch and finance alongside them. The POD screen follows the steps they already do on paper: manifest, photos, signature. Tell us on the call how your drivers work today and we plan the rollout around them.
No. Invoices post into Sage Accounting or Xero, and payroll hours can sync to Sage 300 People. Your accountant keeps working where they work today.
Starter goes live in 7–14 days, Growth in 3–4 weeks and Scale in 6–8 weeks. Each runs the same four phases: diagnose, connect, automate, deploy.
The engineers who built your workflows. Support runs Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00 SAST, with emergency on‑call for critical issues. Hosting and monitoring are included in every tier.
You can upgrade or change your tier at any time, for example when you add drivers or want a second workflow automated.
