Introduction

The TAPStore API is a new REST API service designed to improve the customer experience and simplify the ordering and renewal process for large resellers and OEMs. Its purpose is to allow them to use their existing applications for Trimble products, reducing the need for support requests related to order placement and troubleshooting.

Today, the usage of REST APIs provides a modern communication standard between IT systems. In order to improve customer experience and respond to increased customer demands, Trimble team is introducing a new REST API service that will process and manage TPS “Trimble Positioning Service” Orders.

For customers who want to integrate Process/manage Order from their own custom application, REST API is an alternative communication interface that enables a partner to integrate create order/activation functionalities into their application easily and quickly.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that any TAPStore API 1.0 call will directly create transactions in TAP store and can be viewed at TAP store (Please contact Customer Care for credentials to TAP store)

Business Need

Large resellers are looking for an easy, fast and affordable way to process the order and manage renewals, in a way that the cost won’t exceed the margin for the subscriptions. The approach is to offer an API to the resellers/OEM’s to simplify the ordering process, provide device/activation and sales order related information on demand. Resellers will be able to use their existing applications for Trimble products that makes doing business easier with Trimble. The API should also reduce the requests for order placing and troubleshooting for large sellers, their retail outlet and TAP customer care.
