### "Great Product"

November 12, 2021

5.0

Tive has been a helpful resource in addition to our other tracking options. They offer features like Light sensitivity to tell if the trailer has been open, acceleration/gforce measurement in case of accidents or unsafe driving, and even temperature readings if you are moving refrigerated product.

Pros

Tive uses triangulation between Cell, GPS, and Wifi to accurately track the location of the device. We use them daily for our truckloads.

Cons

Can be finicky if you don't place near the tail of the trailer with nothing around the device. If there is any interference the signal is weak and does not track well. Pretty easy to use, but if someone is not familiar with turning on the device they can sometimes be unsure the device is actually on and tracking.

Alternatives considered

[Samsara](https://www.capterra.com/p/167543/Samsara-for-Fleets-0-00-6-23/)

Switched from

[Descartes MacroPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/219845/Descartes-MacroPoint/)

MacroPoint works really well IF the driver has a smart phone and IF the driver is compliant. Many times, if driver has 3g phone or "non-smart phone" there is 0 way to track. Also, even if the driver accepts macropoint link up front, during transit they can turn off the tracking at any time at their own discretion. By using Tive, you eliminate the human element and can directly and accurately track your product.

### "Feedback"

November 14, 2021

1.0

Great customer support team to deal with but the issues above made the loggers unworkable

Pros

Online interactive feature of the logger was great. Heaps to reports to generate against a wide range of features e.g temp / humidity etc..

Cons

Loggers did not last the full journey. In particular i was using these loggers for my middle eastern shipments. The loggers did not last beyond the Singapore transhipment which was very disappointing considering our customer QA team needed a temperature log to clear the cargo for sale at their shops

### "Driscolls's Tive Review"

November 22, 2021

5.0

Overall the experience has been positive. moving forward i would happily continue the use of the Tive system.

Pros

As a person that both confiigures and reviews the data collected from these loggers i liked how easy they were to calibrate for shipments and for stationary monitoring of my coolrooms. also having the addition of being able to track via GPS where my shipments were and record any shock that stock may have taken during transit has made holding freight more accountable for damaged stock.

Cons

As this was a trial started mid season it was a little difficult to start especially as majority of shipments we would use thes loggers for were already completed. however the assistance from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] (our Tive Rep) has been fantastic. for myself i think the only Con was not being able to receive the SMS notifications from loggers.

Reason for choosing Tive

Ease of use and ability to review data without plugging device into computer.

### "Masterpiece"

November 29, 2021

4.0

I have had a great experience with Tive. I have felt that our concerns or ideas for improvements have been considered and in most cases addressed. I appreciate that I can get someone on the phone to discuss.

Pros

The product is very user friendly and the platform is also easy to use and understand

Cons

We have had some issues whereby updates caused battery drainage issues, also devices have been sent that were not set for features we require, such as shock.

Reason for choosing Tive

Because we liked the price and format of the Tive product and because we felt our input was considered and appreciated. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has been a great representative for us and answers our calls whenever we call, including on the weekend.

### "Matthew Scott MaxQ Review"

November 22, 2021

5.0

the customer service and the device itself is very very good but i would love to see how the portal changes and improves.

Pros

The device its its very good. the connection that it has to the portal is very good. This is so important to us because a connection gap means that is time we will not know if there is a temperature excursion. the better connection is the better we are able to predict the shipments thermal life. the Portal's UI is very minimalistic which can be really nice.

Cons

My least favorite part about the Portal is how to the portal handles alerts. you can not put device specific alerts on a device from in a shipment.

### "Meyer Natural Foods"

November 23, 2021

4.0

We were already using a live temp sensor to monitor our shipments, but Tive had the additional benefit of the shock or move to help with more driver behavior in transit.

Pros

The platform is straight forward, easy to access and see your devices. The map feature is great to quickly selected specific devices and their locations.

Cons

Tive is new and as such you have to work through some of the challenges that come with not all of the bugs being worked out with the notifications and settings.

### "Mission-critical functionality combined with ease-of-use"

November 17, 2021

5.0

We have had a great relationship with Tive. We have collaborated on a custom interface between SalesForce and the Tive system, making our daily updates much easier. Whenever we have needed to troubleshoot an issue, the Tive staff has been very responsive and helpful.

Pros

The ability to locate our shipments in transit is vital for our need to have every package arrive safely and in a timely manner. In the current environment, shipping companies are less than perfect at managing their own internal tracking, making it necessary to independently monitor each package.

Cons

Some updates would be easier if they could be batched across multiple tracking devices simultaneously, such as setting multiple trackers to report at the same interval.

### "Significant Value Add for the Right Target Customer"

November 12, 2021

5.0

Experience overall has been very positive with implementation, ongoing support and an exceptional experience with the original sales rep, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], prior to his new opportunity.

Pros

The ability to provide analytics to our customers and throughout the supply chain adds significant value for monitoring moisture, light and location.

Cons

I would suggest the monthly fee for the software makes sense based on a full implementation but during a ramp up period as we present and hopefully implement with new and/or existing customers, it is initially not cost effective.

### "Great Customer Support"

November 29, 2021

4.0

I have found the support people to be very helpful! They are easy to get a hold of and eager to help.

Pros

The platform is easy to navigate, and the customer support is very good!

Cons

I don't like that I cannot turn trackers on and off by myself (I am required to contact our service person). I also don't like that I cannot easily see in the platform whether or not the tracker is on or off. This has not been a huge problem, but I think the product would improve my adding these features.

Reason for choosing Tive

The price point was very good compared to other alternatives that were reviewed.

### "Tive is a HUGE part of what we do"

November 29, 2021

4.0

Tive has a great team that allows us to work quickly and easily with them. They are very responsive to issues and their product is excellent.

Pros

Love the ability to track shipments in real time, and for our clients to track shipments in real time and real temperature. Also love how easy it was to work with TIVE IT team to integrate into our TMS.

Cons

Only negative feature is that there is a 1-2 degree variance in temperature at times, which can be critical when temps are nearing the temperture limits set for that shipment.

Reason for choosing Tive

Approval on international carriers/ease of using the tracker/ease of integration into TMS/ability to monitor temps in real time.

### "Tive for Tracking"

November 30, 2021

5.0

Love the app. Easy to setup, share and follow. The tracking veers off of actual roads but this is due to signal coverage and not app issue.

Pros

Setup was easy using provide quick start guides. Easy to search and locate shipments in progress.

Cons

Sharing link with non-user customers doesn't seem intuitive. The link works for the customer, but finding it and sharing isn't really clear. Once you know the steps, it's easy. Maybe it just to many steps.

### "Excellent for package tracking"

November 22, 2021

5.0

We use the Tive devices to track our packages of medical specimens. Each of these packages contain thousands of dollars in specimens. If Tive saves us from losing just one package a quarter they pay for themselves. So far we have multiple examples of situations where the trackers have been able to recover a lost package.

Pros

It's easy to set up and contains a lot of features. I appreciate that the device life can be adjusted while the devices are on route in cases where we need to extend their life.

Cons

We have had a few stop working. It's a rare occasion but it has happened a couple of times. In those situations, Tive has replaced these with no hassle.

Reason for choosing Tive

We looked at several alternatives. One of the things we liked about Tive was their extensive customer base and references.

### "An essential tool for fragile cargo"

November 17, 2021

5.0

Pros

The details in reporting, you can see everything that the shipment is going through from light exposure to temperature.

Cons

It was a little tough to distribute the trackers to everyone and explain it to them but that's mainly because we have multiple shippers/ warehouses. It would also be nice if we could just upload a BOL instead of filling out all the details for each trip.
