Tap Le Partage Simplifié

What Tap Le Partage Simplifié does

Tap Le Partage Simplifié inc. (operating as Tap Inc.) is a privately held Canadian corporation headquartered in Saint-Placide, Québec, founded in 2022. The company designs, customizes, and sells a portfolio of NFC (Near Field Communication) contactless products, including personalized NFC business cards, leather and epoxy NFC keychains, NFC Google Reviews stickers and stands, restaurant NFC menu stickers, and NFC pet identification tags. Its core technology stack combines commodity NFC chips (NTAG-compatible) with a cloud-based management portal that lets users edit shared contact profiles, websites, social links, or Google Review URLs in real time without re-issuing physical cards, and that exposes scan-level analytics (number of scans, pages consulted, peak activity periods, device breakdown).

The business operates two distinct revenue streams. The first is one-time hardware sales priced between approximately $30 and $110 per unit, with bundle deals (e.g., Card + Keychain at a promotional $100) and SMB bulk packs (10 cards for $700). The second is a tiered monthly subscription targeting restaurants and SMBs seeking Google Reviews collection and contactless menu functionality, priced at $39.99, $49.99, and $59.99 per month. The go-to-market is product-led and direct-to-consumer via a WooCommerce online storefront, supplemented by inside-sales free discovery appointments booked through Calendly for bulk and enterprise orders, and a presence on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

Customer segments span individual business professionals (primary), restaurants and hospitality SMBs, SMBs buying in bulk, and pet owners. The company is founder-led by Dave Clattenburg (Founder and President) and Marc Lafontaine (Vice-president of Technologies), with a reported headcount of 1–10 employees and no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership. Samsung and Mercedes-Benz logos appear on the website as displayed customer references.
