Product Description

Tive's combination of always-connected sensors and cloud-based software gives companies the visibility they need, enabling alerts, reporting, and analysis on their inbound and outbound shipments across all modes of transport.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Unlike other visibility solutions that rely on asset tracking (e.g., EDL or telematics) to provide visibility:

Tive’s hyper-accurate trackers, intuitive cloud platform, and 24/7 Live Monitoring team provide end-to-end, real-time location and condition visibility that enables shippers and LSPs to manage excursions, reduce risk and disruptions, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen collaboration with customers and supply chain partners. 

Unlike other legacy IoT sensors that provide limited flexibility:

Tive's Solo 5G trackers work across all modes of transportation, reporting real-time, hyper-accurate location and condition data (temperature, light, shock, humidity) to the Tive platform. The platform makes it easy to customize device settings, sends configurable alerts to mitigate in-transit risk, and includes collaboration tools that streamline communications.

What do you like best about Tive?

I love about Tive is how easy it makes to track your shipment and see in intervals exactly where the tracking logger has been. It is extremely easy to create the journeys to track the logger and can be done quickly and with few issues. It can be seamlessly integrated into any workflow and doesn't have a high learning curve to learn how to use the product and understand what's going on. Our company uses the products frequently and through all ports of entry worldwide and have never yet to have an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tive?

The least helpful thing about the tive loggers is that they have little connectivity in the air. Once up there the readings become more sporadic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tive is solving the issue of exactly where our product is, where has it been and where is it going. This benefits us by removing the fog of where a product has been and allows a seamless answer to customers looking for answers. And with the link the customer can also see for theirselves the same answers as we can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tive?

Tive is very user friendly I like the fact that you can set templets and allows for repeat tracking to be very quick and easy to setup. They give everyone from the carrier, shipper, receiver, and our customer piece of mind. It allows everyone to properly schedule deliveries and always have visibility. I have 4 repeat trackers weekly that are setup in under 5 mins. Also, our designated account manager is great she is able to take time from her day to ensure our tracking is working as it should and even adjust thresholds for us to ensure more accurate tracking. The actual Tive trackers are fool proof as well one button to start them and they are off tracking. Finally, the ability for us to tie our customers in to give them visibility of our tracking from location, G-force, humidity, temperature to light sensing makes these trackers a game changer - no more check calls needed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tive?

We've had some slight techincal issues with tracking settings but they were quickly addressed by our Tive account manager. Overall there is nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tive allows us to provide tracking internationally from the USA into Mexico. It gives us the ability to provide accurate tracking which in my case the most important is the location and light sensing as it allows us to monitor any possible tampering of our freight. The light sensor allows us to know if our trailers are opened for whatever reason while loaded. It gives our customers and operators piece of mind which saves us time and money. The reduction in check calls allows our operators to be more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tive?

There’s little to dislike about Tive. However, expanding integration capabilities with more logistics platforms and offering additional customization options for reports would make the product even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tive solves the challenge of maintaining temperature compliance during shipments, ensuring product integrity for sensitive goods.

What do you like best about Tive?

The amount of detail it that you can see about each shipment is quite impressive. The tracking is mostly live throughout transit.

It's a straight forward site, easy to use. The option of being able to export the data and have it sent to multiple emails is a plus.

Customer support was really good at helping out with any queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tive?

The downsides of using Tive is having to create shipments one-by-one, especially if you ship a lot of containers at once like we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tive solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to have temp readings whike the shipment was in transit, before reaching the destination to be able to clear our containers on arrival. Tive was able to provide us with real time data that we could export and distribute to our consignees as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Tive?

Tive's user interface makes it extremely easy to navigate and search / track for freight you are looking for. Implementation seemed to be relatively simple. I have not had any issues, but I imagine the customer suppor team to be accomodating for any issues one might see on the platform. The level of detaislt that one can get regarding humidity, the shock factors, the exact locations with pings adjusted how you would like and so on make Tive easy and so much fun to use. I frequently check in on my refrigerated goods shipments to ensure they are at an optimal temperature and humidty level, without Tive, you would have to play it by ear and hope for the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tive?

The only downside about Tive is it takes some time for the system to accurately generate estimate times of departures once goods are in transit, especially on the road to a port before containers / goods get loaded on a vessel. if the system were able to track and estimate the transit times on each portion of a move more QUICKLY, it would be extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking and tracing is Tive's bread and butter. Knowing exactly where a shipment is at all times allows for ease of mind knowing freight won't be getting lost or at least it will be tracked down if it does. Along with tracking, the data it presents in the form of temperatures, humidity levels, shock factors, etc allow a shipper to have clear cut evidence and proof of any potential mishaps with freight that can result in damaged goods and claim being filed thereafter. I like to think of Tive as that one piece of software / hardware that has my back when I absolutely need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the precise information that the devices give about the entire trip. the device are ease of use, the customer support are incredible, We use them very frequently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tive?

The analytics provided by the portal could be improved, adding some KPIs for an analysis of how most trips have behaved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tive solving and how is that benefiting you?

By being able to track the cold chain from the moment the product leaves our facilities until it reaches our client, if we have a claim for loads in poor condition due to poor handling by the carrier, we can charge the corresponding person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tive?

My company has been using TIVE and I've been responsible for provisioning te devices and contacting TIVE support with any concerns/issues. My experience has been really good so far, there's nothing that comes to my mind that would make me say anything bad about it. The devices work fine, we're getting correct alerts, carriers or the customer aren't complaining. The support is great, I'm always getting a reaaally quick response whenever I need their help. I'd recommend using their service as it is easy to use and easy to impmement. I've been using is daily and cannot complain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tive?

What do you like best about Tive?

Tive tracking devices are excellent. I consider them very affordable for the performance. You can set your tracker to monitor the specifics be it gps, humidity, temprature, smoothness of ride and light sensitivity. You can set the devices to ping as often as you'd like and obviously the lower number of pings, the longer the battery life. They can be used air, ground or ocean. What more can you ask for when you're trying to keep cargo secured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tive?

I have not yet had a negative experience and deployed the product a year ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tive solving and how is that benefiting you?

GPS. Knowing where the load is at all times and even confirming when the load is being received because of the light sensitivity feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MY business unvolves 100's of deliveries daily to several major metropolitan cities. Tive is working on this but at this time we are struggling with receiving accuarte reporting of individual deliveries because we don't and will never know an exact order of our deliveries, and that changes daily.

Assists and ability to account for theft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
