R&D Nurseries is known for cultivating and shipping high-end tropicals and rare plants to major retailers across the United States. But maintaining plant quality over long hauls, especially across multiple stops and unpredictable conditions, can be a risky business. Environmental inconsistencies, especially during transfers from reefer trucks to greenhouses or storage facilities, can cause irreversible harm to delicate plant material. To ensure that every load arrives on time and in perfect condition, R&D Nurseries turned to Tive.

Since 1954, Lund’s Fisheries’ seafood products have inspired trust and confidence around the world. With locations on both coasts of the USA, Lund’s is a leader in finfish and scallops—and is the only domestic producer of all three U.S. squid species. As their global footprint expanded, so did the complexity of managing their import/export logistics. With seafood traveling by truck and ocean container to destinations worldwide, even minor disruptions in temperature control or shipment security could lead to spoilage, rejections, or costly insurance claims. Protecting product quality across such long and fragmented journeys became mission critical, and they turned to Tive.

RKC Logistics was founded in 2016 and has carved out a unique niche in the world of job-site deliveries. Specializing in freight headed to arenas, schools, churches, music venues, and major sports stadiums. The RKC team handles everything from bleacher seating and basketball apparatuses to flooring—and even tens of thousands of stadium cup holders. According to owner Ryan Suydam, “The struggle for us has always been finding reliable tracking. I needed something that would put tracking in my control.” Enter Tive.

CoolIT Systems is a global leader in advanced cooling solutions for high-performance computing. Because these cooling systems are mission-critical and extremely valuable, protecting them during transit is essential. To ensure peace of mind, CoolIT decided to use Tive trackers on all their shipments. Says Rob Tychkowsky, Director of Procurement & Planning at CoolIT, “We need complete confidence that they will arrive safely, every single time.”

With deep roots in the produce world, Triple T Transport first specialized in over-the-road produce transport. As customer needs grew, so did the company’s expertise, and Triple T now provides brokerage services across diverse freight categories—including dry, refrigerated, and frozen goods, as well as food packaging. Yet despite offering best-in-class customer service, there was one other big benefit they wanted to offer their customers: live, real-time visibility into the location and condition of shipments. One of their customers, Ready Pac, used Tive with another carrier and thought the transition would be easy for Triple T—and they were right.

Semex, a world leader in bovine genetics founded in 1974, ships frozen bull semen and frozen bovine embryos to more than 100 countries. Each shipment is highly sensitive, time-critical, and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Before Tive, Semex was unable to track shipments in real time. They would hand over their expensive airline shipments and cross their fingers—but they never worry about that with Tive.
