LED traffic safety and parking control solutions manufacturer
TAPCO manufactures traffic safety and parking control products—LED warning systems, pedestrian crossing equipment, and intelligent transportation infrastructure. The tech stack is enterprise operations-focused (ServiceNow, Dynamics 365, Business Central, Salesforce) rather than product-engineering heavy, consistent with a manufacturing company scaling operational efficiency. Active hiring across sales, engineering, and finance, combined with projects in ERP upgrades, lean execution, and M&A due diligence, suggests the company is modernizing backend systems and exploring growth through acquisition.
