At Tive, we believe that every shipment matters. Our mission is to pioneer beyond what we thought possible, so what others hold near and dear arrives on time and in full. We imagine a world fully transparent, where everything and everyone is connected. That starts with real-time in-transit visibility, known by Gartner as RTTVP. We understand that in the transportation industry, reputation is everything. It takes a lot of on time, in full deliveries to build a reputation of excellence, but it only takes a few excursions to make the wrong impression. To that end, Tive introduced the world’s first non-Lithium tracker in 2020 in response to the industry’s need for greater safety and sustainability.

The CILT(UK) Learning Centre have accessible courses and learning solutions that suit individual needs wherever you are in your career, whether you need to attain the Transport Manager CPC, take a refresher, or enhance your skills in other relevant skill sets, we have a solution for you.

Every year, containers of goods arrive relentlessly at distribution centres before being opened and tipped and stowed. Opening involves removing the seal, a bolt or bolts of steel that secure the latches of a freight container preventing the doors from being opened by thieves in transit. At a busy DC, this can be something that needs doing multiple times a day and, if you are using long handled bolt croppers for this job, the stress on the bodies of some members of your cargo reception crew can be excruciating.
