Tive

Tive is a real-time supply-chain and shipment visibility platform built on cellular IoT trackers. The Tive Public API (v3) lets you programmatically create and track shipments, manage trackers/devices, pull sensor data (location, temperature, humidity, pressure, light, motion, battery), configure alert presets, and subscribe to webhooks for push event delivery.

Tive publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Alerts API, Authentication API, Devices API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Supply Chain, Shipment Visibility, Logistics, IoT, and Trackers.
