Case Study: Alpine Fresh achieves safer, fresher shipments with Tive real-time tracking

Keepin’ it Fresh and Safe Alpine Fresh Finds Real Value in Real-Time Tracking & Monitoring

Alpine Fresh, a grower and shipper of fresh fruits and vegetables, faced significant challenges due to a lack of real-time shipment visibility. Without the ability to track location and conditions like temperature, the company was losing hundreds of thousands of dollars to spoiled products. A major obstacle was that most tracking devices used unsafe lithium batteries, which were banned by one of their key customers. They partnered with Tive, Inc. to find a solution.

Tive implemented its non-lithium Solo 5G tracker and platform, providing Alpine Fresh with real-time monitoring and alerts. This solution enabled the company to quickly respond to issues and streamline communication. The results were immediate, with Tive helping save specific shipments valued at $120,000 and $90,000, leading to total savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars from reduced spoilage and claims. The partnership also significantly decreased the time staff spent on monitoring.
