Partnership Offers Shippers Cutting-Edge Tracking Options as Cargo Theft Incidents Keep Increasing

The leading provider of supply chain visibility technology, Tive, today unveiled a new customer story featuring Phalanx Logistics Solutions, a top third-party logistics provider (3PL), highlighting how Tive uses real-time shipment tracking capabilities to help Phalanx improve cargo security in order to support Phalanx's varied clientele across the US, Canada, and Mexico.

According to Krenar Komoni, CEO and founder of Tive, "cargo theft has become a pervasive challenge—costing businesses millions annually and jeopardizing the integrity of supply chains across the globe." "Businesses sending valuable items can take charge of their shipments, lower risk, and guarantee full, end-to-end cargo visibility with our real-time tracking system. By working together, we're redefining dependability in the logistics sector.

Phalanx tracked customer shipments using traditional brokerage freight tracking techniques up until 2023, including check calls, spreadsheets, emails, ELDs, and cell phone data. However, a high-value cargo theft incident that occurred in the fall of 2023 brought to light the shortcomings of these conventional tracking techniques and underscored the pressing need for a more advanced, dependable technological solution.

Tive's industry-leading trackers, which offer GPS, cellular, and WiFi tracking, along with its cloud-based visibility platform provided a strong solution to these issues, guaranteeing that Phalanx's shipments are safely handled from point of origin to destination and continuously watched in real time.

Phalanx decided that, as a cost of doing business, it would no longer accept cargo theft. Dylan Morris, General Manager of Phalanx, stated, "We needed to expand the security and reliability of our shipping services, so choosing Tive was a key decision for us." "We can monitor our shipments more closely thanks to Tive's tracking technology, and we are more committed to our customers because we can reassure them that their valuable goods are always in good hands."

In the face of persistent theft and fraud in the supply chain sector, brokers and shippers are looking for creative solutions. Without real-time shipment tracking, one cannot find out what has happened to cargo until it is too late. The broker bears the responsibility of holding the carrier responsible at all times. But when one has a tool like Tive, product loss need not occur.
