Tive, a supply chain visibility technology company, has launched the Tive Seal globally, a single-use Bluetooth-enabled cable lock providing real-time tamper detection for container and trailer doors. The device was developed in partnership with security seal specialist TydenBrooks. The Seal integrates with Tive's Solo 5G trackers and cloud platform to deliver instant alerts when security is compromised through cable cutting, forced entry or device damage. Data feeds directly into the Tive platform and existing Transportation Management Systems, enabling immediate response to potential cargo theft. More than 1,200 global shippers, logistics providers and retailers currently use Tive's technology. CEO Krenar Komoni said the Seal addresses increasingly sophisticated cargo theft by enabling detection before losses occur. The product is now commercially available worldwide through Tive's sales channels.

Tive, a Boston-based supply chain visibility startup, has raised $20 million in a funding round led by Lightsmith Group, a climate adaptation and resilience investor. The company uses software and sensors to provide real-time tracking of shipments across global supply chains. More than 1,200 customers in approximately 190 countries use Tive's trackers to monitor shipment location and conditions including temperature, humidity, tilt and shock across all transport modes. The company has established a circularity programme to recycle its tracking devices. The funding will accelerate development of AI-powered supply chain visibility tools as weather and climate disruptions increase. Other investors include Sageview Capital, World Innovation Lab, AVP and Supply Chain Ventures.

The growth investment values the company at over $500 million.
