The hardware component is a low-power multi-sensor internet-connected tracker that uses cellular connectivity to provide real-time monitoring of shipments. The sensors can track location, temperature, humidity, shock, and orientation.
The cloud-based software can be used to set custom alerts and configure geofences. Additionally, shipping customers can use the Tive API to pull data in their ERP or SCM systems.
