Case Study: Sylvan protects delicate mushroom spawn shipments with Tive

Sylvan Protecting Precious Spores for the Global Mushroom Industry

Sylvan, the global leader in fungal technology and the world's largest producer of mushroom spawn, faced a challenge with maintaining real-time visibility into its perishable shipments. The company's previous basic temperature recorders did not provide frequent network updates, leaving them unsure if their temperature-sensitive spores were remaining at a steady, correct temperature throughout transit. This lack of insight prevented them from accurately updating their customers on shipment conditions.

To solve this, Sylvan implemented Tive's Solo 5G trackers, probes, and cloud platform. The solution provided immediate text alerts for temperature excursions and allowed for probes to be placed in multiple locations within a container for hyper-accurate readings. As a result, Sylvan gained the ability to intervene in real-time to save shipments from spoilage, significantly reducing product loss and stress. The Tive platform also facilitated seamless collaboration with customers, who could now monitor shipments themselves. Tive's reliable data and excellent customer support have made the product a confirmed money-saver for Sylvan.
