Overview

Tive provides solutions for monitoring supply chains in real-time, allowing companies to keep track of their shipments' location and condition during transit. Their product includes multi-sensor trackers that gather data on factors like temperature, shock, light exposure, and humidity. This data is sent to a cloud-based software platform where it can be analyzed in real-time. Clients can track their goods, receive alerts for any deviations from set conditions, and review historical data to improve their supply chain processes. Tive stands out from competitors by offering a combination of both hardware and software, including a unique 5G-enabled single-use tracker. Their goal is to help businesses in logistics and transportation maintain strict control over their in-transit goods, ensuring they can respond quickly to any issues that arise.
