Hello,
Say for example there is a new calculator product named "Tetra calculator". It can perform functions very fast than ordinary calculators.
So can I use the tagline for Company 'Tetra Calculator' as:
"Expedite with Tetra"
is it correct to use "Expedite with" statements? if not, how to use the word 'expedite'

[strike]So[/strike] Can I use the following tagline for the [STRIKE]Company[/STRIKE] 'Tetra Calculator'? [STRIKE]as:[/STRIKE]

"Expedite with Tetra"

Is it correct to make a statement using "Expedite with"? [strike]statements?[/strike] If not, how [STRIKE]to[/STRIKE] can I use the word 'expedite'?

Please note my corrections above. The tagline doesn't work. What exactly does it expedite?
 
"Expedite with Tetra" sounds strange to me, because "expedite" requires a direct object; i.e., it's a transitive verb.
 
If Tetra were a freight expediting company, its marketing material might exhort prospective customers to Expedite with Tetra! Since it isn't, the line doesn't work.

Thanks! This forum is much useful than I thought it would be.

What if it is a software company that can complete a tedious manual task in matter of seconds? Can I use

"Expedite with Byte"

I'm not sure what a transitive verb is. Can you please give me some example.
Also please look my comment posted below about software company.

No. "Expedite" has a specific meaning in shipping. Completing a manual task doesn't qualify.
