BRIGHT IDEAS


HOW CAN WE HELP? TAKING IIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL …


TELL US WHAT YOU WANT TAPA’s Incident Information Service (IIS) is a fantastic supply chain resilience tool but we want to see it develop to provide even more benefits for our members. So, we need your help.


As with our Security Standards, when we look to make improvements and ensure TAPA’s solutions are fit-for-purpose, we come to our members because everything we do should add value to your own security programmes. It’s the same with IIS. So, please register to join our webinar on 8 April 2021 from 10.00- 11.00CET when I will be hosting a discussion on ‘The Future of TAPA’s Incident Information Service. What do you want?’


To me, IIS is not just an intelligence tool, it’s a loss prevention service when we connect all the dots. Our aim is to launch an enhanced version of IIS in the second half of 2021 which will combine various elements of the information and benefits we can offer. This will give us a one-stop tool which offers users the opportunity to:


• Look at a specific route or location


• Identify incidents of cargo crime close to this route or location


• Download this information or see it on a map


• Overlay TAPA PSR Secure Parking locations


• Access contact information for PSR sites for communications and parking place bookings


• Identify TAPA FSR & TSR certified service providers


• See information on the types of products being targeted


• Learn more about the M.O. used by cargo thieves


• Source other relevant incident analytics


We have this now, but the information is not synchronised. We want to make gathering this intelligence quicker and easier. We can also add value for companies which are TAPA certified and this, in turn, may encourage others to implement our Standards. So, it’s a win/win for everyone.


All EMEA members will have received an invitation to join our webinar and to share your experiences of using IIS as well as your ideas to make it better. I am looking forward to a great discussion.


In this issue, we explain more about the new Transported Asset Protection Services’ (TAPS) plans to offer supply chain security consultancy, services and solutions. We know that many members in EMEA, as well as companies outside of our Association, regularly need to outsource some aspects of their security requirements, and finding the best third-party partners to work with can be challenging. We can fix that.


TAPS has access to a group of highly experienced supply chain security professionals and a bank of knowledge and expertise that can be sourced on a project-by-project basis. And, we also have the flexibility to bring in other resources as and when required to increase our subject matter expertise.


So, please talk to us to find out more and to discuss any specific consultancy needs you may have now or in the future. Contact the team at taps@tapaemea.org


As we grow, there will also be future opportunities to join the TAPS team, so also get in touch if you have skills you believe will benefit our Standards, IIS or Admin work.
