Case Study: Radio Frequency Systems achieves real-time shipment visibility and reduced damage with Tive, Inc.

Leader in global wireless infrastructurerelies on Tive for equipment shipments and improved customer experience

Radio Frequency Systems is a global designer and manufacturer of cables, antennas and tower systems whose business depends on strict on-time delivery. When Automatic Identification System (AIS) tracking failed to give the accuracy and condition detail RFS needed, COO Karl Kirschenhofer selected Tive, Inc.’s hardware and software real-time visibility solution to monitor intermodal shipments (ocean, air and truck) and high-value cable drums across global lanes.

Tive, Inc.’s low-power, multi-sensor trackers and platform delivered continuous location and condition data (acceleration, tilt, light, etc.), customizable alerts, and integration into RFS’s customer app. The solution let RFS pinpoint delays (including customs holds), notify service teams of arrivals down to the day and hour, detect handling damage or theft in yard storage, and provide 24/7 shipment visibility—improving customer experience, operational responsiveness, and supply chain accuracy.
