Tive

Tive, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Boston, provides shippers with real-time visibility into the location and condition of their shipments. The company combines hardware sensors with a software platform to track goods as they move through supply chains, serving more than 1,200 global shippers, logistics service providers and retailers across the food and beverage, life sciences, high-value goods, transportation and logistics sectors.

Its products include Tive trackers, which travel with shipments and monitor conditions such as temperature, humidity, shock and light exposure; these sensors have covered more than 6 billion miles in aggregate. The trackers feed into an intuitive software platform that gives shippers real-time insight into where their shipments are and how they are faring. A 24/7 Live Monitoring team works alongside the technology to keep watch on shipments at all hours.

Technical work at Tive spans IoT hardware sensors, real-time tracking, condition monitoring, software platform development and data analytics. The company describes itself as a team of innovators, problem-solvers and logistics experts, and states a mission centred on transparency and protecting what matters most to customers. Stated values include transparency first, making things simpler, working as one team and relentlessly iterating to improve. Tive operates globally from its Boston base.
