TECHNOLOGY
Why TacEdge Works
TacEdge is built on three principles that matter most in the field:
Clarity: Clean, intuitive visuals with shared situational awareness.
Simplicity: Easy to use, no GIS training or downloads required.
Speed: Rapid planning without compromising accuracy or tactical coherence.
Bridging the Gap Between Complexity and Action.
Offline-first: Works in disconnected environments.
No logins, no infrastructure: Designed for agility, not bureaucracy.
TacEdge complements your current workflows. It doesn’t compete with legacy GIS systems.
ABOUT US
Born from the Real World
TacEdge began on the frontline of one of New Zealand’s most complex emergencies: the Whakaari / White Island eruption.
In December 2019, amidst a fractured and high-stakes recovery mission, teams across NZ Police, Defence, and Civil Defence found themselves improvising operational plans with whiteboards, PowerPoint slides, and phone calls.
There was no shared visual plan. No dynamic overview. And no clarity between teams.
Out of this operational chaos came a single insight: clarity saves lives.
TacEdge was built to bring clarity to the edge — where people, time, and pressure collide. It’s not just a planning tool. It’s a mission-critical platform for those who operate in the grey zone between chaos and control.
OUR VISION:
Op Whakaari Resolve
TacEdge is set to become New Zealand’s national standard for spatially-enabled operational planning. It is for the people who plan, coordinate, and respond — not from theory, but from lived experience.
