Case Study: Kunsttrans Gains Real-Time Artwork Visibility with Tive

For Kunsttrans, Tracking In-Transit Conditions of High-End Artwork is Priceless

Kunsttrans, an Austria-based logistics services provider specializing in high-value art shipments for museums, galleries, auction houses, art fairs, and private collectors, needed better visibility into in-transit conditions for priceless artwork. Before working with Tive, the company relied on passive loggers and costly couriers, which made real-time tracking difficult and increased the risk of damage or theft during transport.

Tive provided Kunsttrans with the Solo 5G Non-Lithium tracker to monitor location, humidity, light, acceleration, and shock in real time for shipments by truck and air. Kunsttrans also created a custom 3D-printed holder to secure the device inside crates, preventing damage to artwork. As a result, Kunsttrans gained real-time alerts, stronger customer trust, lower courier costs, and the ability to share live shipment conditions globally, with confidence and trust reportedly higher than ever among clients.
