About this app

Tangkama is an internet based application accessible via any internet enabled hand-held
device. It is a Courier Service Plugin that allows any individual with a Courier Service need to
initiate, execute, monitor, and evaluate a Service Request from anywhere so long as they have
access to an internet* enabled hand-held device. It is available On-Demand. 
In essence, Tangkama acts as an enabler for the Aggregation and (Re)Distribution of Courier
Service needs in the marketplace. In so doing, it allows for the matching of Demand for Courier
Services to the Supply of same. 
Taking into cognizance the increasing congestion within and around city centers all around us,
Tangkama adopts motorbikes as its principal tool of trade. Simply put, if your courier need
cannot go onto a motorbike, then it probably isn’t a job to be done by Tangkama – for now! 
Our riders are Carefully Selected, Meticulously Trained and Dutifully Groomed to perfection.
They exhibit, at all times, the highest standards of Professionalism and peerless Customer
Service.
