Tapex

Their mobile shipping, delivery, and logistics platform for businesses and busy people. TapEx provides same-day shipping and local delivery for anything, right from your smartphone. TapEx connects customers to local couriers to enable delivery from anyone to anyone in record time, for a fraction of the price charged by traditional couriers and messengers. - Problems: 1. Unmet needs. Same-day, local delivery is widely unavailable for many of the products consumers & businesses need every day 2. Old business model. Traditional couriers & messengers who do offer same-day delivery charge obscene amounts, lack price transparency, must be scheduled hours in advance, and don’t integrate into e-commerce platforms 3. Safety & Security. Regional carriers (FedEx, UPS) packages are often lost or stolen, even when customers are notified that packages have been “safely” delivered. - Solution/Service Offering TapEx brings an offline industry online, and offers a simple, on-demand solution to consumers. They offer same-day local delivery that is trackable, transparent, and trustworthy. TapEx is the solution for busy individuals, as well as businesses seeking to offer a same-day delivery option for their customers. - Differentiation TapEx operates an asset-light model, contracting with individual drivers in the sharing economy. They will drive out traditional couriers and messengers and capture market share from large regional carriers. TapEx received significant PR when featured with Uber & Airbnb executives at the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Nairobi, Kenya with The White House and U.S. Department of State.
