Trade & Industry

Manufacturing and trading companies face major challenges: rising customer expectations, small margins, complex supply chains, global tensions and continuous pressure to work even more efficiently. At the same time, processes are often fragmented and data is captured scattered across different systems, leading to duplication and errors.

With advanced custom AI, low-code and RPA solutions, Tacstone Technology supports trading and manufacturing companies in automating mission-critical processes so that teams can focus on growth, innovation and customer satisfaction.

What do our automation solutions deliver?

Lower operating expenses

Connecting processes and automating manual operations reduces errors and makes work more efficient.

More time for core activities

Automated order processing, inventory management and reporting leaves more time for customers, innovation and strategy. Automating repetitive work also makes work more enjoyable for employees.

Smarter use of personnel and resources

Advanced planning systems and AI-driven analytics support the optimization of production, distribution and workforce planning.

Seamless integration and future-proofing

Our technology connects to changes from inside and outside the company on the one hand, and to existing systems on the other, without changing those systems. In this way, companies can remain flexible, reduce costs and allow employees to focus on issues where people need to make the decisions.

Hear from our users

“We clearly identified our functional requirements: what applications do we use and what information do we want to extract from customer emails and tickets? From a vendor selection with several parties, Tacstone was then selected as the supplier. This was a carefully considered choice after evaluating several options on the market.”

Pieter Quanjel | Manager Servicedesk at SPIE

“At my previous employer, I had already been introduced to the possibilities of RPA, and Tacstone as its supplier. I saw a lot of potential in that, given the many repetitive activities within the divisions of the company.”

Johan Koetje | CFO at OFM

“RPA is more than just time savings. We want to free our employees from the dull, repetitive work. So they have more time available for interesting and exciting tasks. With RPA we can also easily increase the frequency of execution of certain processes.”

Wendy van Soelen l | Manager Compliance & Security at Darling Ingredients
