### November

#### **Keep Shipments Secure with Smarter Route Deviation Alerts **

Route Deviation alerts are now live for all **Premium** customers, giving teams a faster way to catch risky detours before they disrupt deliveries or create compliance issues. This smart feature uses Tive Suggested Routes—built from millions of tracker journeys—to automatically map the most likely paths for each shipment’s origin and destination. From there, context-aware geofences and smart deviation detection filter out routine stops and normal traffic detours, so teams only get notified when a shipment truly moves off track. When a deviation occurs, users get real-time alerts and can see exactly where it happened on the map, adjust the route if needed, and maintain a clean digital audit trail for carrier accountability and internal SOPs.

If you’d like to explore upgrade options and learn how Route Deviation alerts can support your operations, contact your Tive Account Manager or Account Executive today. 

![ScreenRecording2025-11-21at4.19.57PM-ezgif.com-optimize](https://support.tive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ScreenRecording2025-11-21at4.19.57PM-ezgif.com-optimize.gif?width=604&height=328&name=ScreenRecording2025-11-21at4.19.57PM-ezgif.com-optimize.gif)

#### **Reduce Alert Noise Using New Location-Based Rules for Light & Stop Alerts**

Cut alert noise and surface critical risk signals using location-based rules for Light and Prolonged Stop alerts. Now you can tailor these alerts based on where a shipment is, and where you want them silenced or triggered. Choose which locations (by name, type, or label) should not raise alerts (such as your own warehouses or planned border crossings) so routine activity doesn’t interrupt your team. 

For critical security scenarios, alerts focus on the high-risk zones you’ve designated so your team only hears about the stops that matter. This gives you more control over when alerts fire, eliminates unwanted notifications, and ensures that your team only gets notified when a door opens unexpectedly on the road or a truck stops too long in a risky area. 

This feature is available for **Plus** and **Premium** platform customers. If you’d like to explore upgrade options, contact your Tive Account Manager or Account Executive today.

#### **Little Fixes = Big Improvements**

- You can now share location labels across your accounts.

### October

#### **Improve Cold Chain Performance with Reveal**

Reveal is Tive’s new analytics add-on product that turns shipment data into trusted insights—so you can reduce risk, cut avoidable costs, and keep improving how your network performs. It helps you uncover shipment trends, benchmark routes and lanes against the broader Tive Network, and find where performance gaps are costing you the most. 

The current version focuses on **cold chain compliance** and **temperature performance** insights, helping you prevent delays, spoilage, and claims before they add up. Contact your Account Manager to **start a free trial** today.

#### **See Every Alert Trigger At a Glance in the Alerts Presets List**

No more guessing what’s included in each alert preset. You can now view all alert triggers—such as temperature thresholds, light, or stop duration—directly from the **Alert Presets** list without clicking into each one. This makes it faster to review, compare, and manage alert configurations across your shipments.

#### **Little Fixes = Big Improvements**

- SMS alert notifications now include a shipment URL link for quick access to sensor data
- SMS notifications for location-based alerts (Light, Shock, Prolonged Stop, Arrival, Departure) now show shipment leg details instead of a URL link
- View collaborators directly from the **Locations** list to see who has access to each location

### September

#### **Find Shipments Faster Using New Commodity Filters**

Quickly narrow down your shipment list by commodity name or category to focus on the products that matter most—whether it’s pharma, produce, or electronics. Filtering by commodities helps you spot product-specific trends and performance at a glance. If you haven’t started using commodities yet, add them to your shipment templates to take advantage of upcoming analytics and reporting features.

![ScreenRecording2025-10-15at4.01.19PM-ezgif.com-optimize (1)](https://support.tive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ScreenRecording2025-10-15at4.01.19PM-ezgif.com-optimize%20(1).gif?width=582&height=352&name=ScreenRecording2025-10-15at4.01.19PM-ezgif.com-optimize%20(1).gif)

#### **Keep Everyone in the Loop with @mentions in Shipment Comments**

Tag teammates directly in shipment comments to share updates, flag issues, or ask quick questions—right where the shipment data lives. This helps teams collaborate faster and resolve problems without switching tools. This feature is available for **Plus** and **Premium** tier customers.

 

![ScreenRecording2025-10-15at3.53.30PM-ezgif.com-optimize (1)](https://support.tive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/eBlast%20Assets/ScreenRecording2025-10-15at3.53.30PM-ezgif.com-optimize%20(1).gif?width=541&height=327&name=ScreenRecording2025-10-15at3.53.30PM-ezgif.com-optimize%20(1).gif)

#### **Little Fixes = Big Improvements**

- The **Locations** page now defaults to showing locations from your account, hiding Tive-provided locations by default
- View **Prolonged Stop** alerts directly on the shipment map to quickly identify where delays occurred
- Create and track metrics by **Commodity** or **Commodity** **Category** in custom dashboards for more targeted insights
- **Tive Tag:** Log in with SSO on the Tive Tag mobile app for faster, more secure access

### August

#### **Get Clarity on What You’re Shipping with Commodities**

With **Commodities**, you can now easily build and manage a list of the products you ship—whether broad categories like “Fresh Blueberries” or specific product SKUs—so your team always knows what's on the move. Once set up, commodities can be added to shipments or shipment templates, giving you cleaner data and insights into how every product is performing across your supply chain. To get started, just head to the Configure tab, then select **Commodities** from the drop-down menu.

![ScreenRecording2025-08-28at10.45.30AM-ezgif.com-optimize](https://support.tive.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ScreenRecording2025-08-28at10.45.30AM-ezgif.com-optimize.gif?width=670&height=359&name=ScreenRecording2025-08-28at10.45.30AM-ezgif.com-optimize.gif)

#### **View Alert Details in Sensor Charts & on the Shipment Map**

Now you can see alert details in sensor charts and on the shipment map. View exactly what condition triggered the alert, the sensor values at that moment, and the exact time and location of the alert. Shipment stage markers—such as departure, arrival, or leg changes—appear alongside, helping you connect alerts to shipment activity. This gives you the context to spot root causes, confirm shipment quality, and act quickly to prevent product loss.

### June

#### **Sensor Charts Now Show Alerts, Thresholds, and Locations for Clearer Context**

Sensor charts now visualize alert thresholds, show where data points were captured (like ports and waypoints), and display when alerts were triggered and resolved—giving you clearer context in a single view to help you make sense of your shipment data.

**![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdvBuEAe8gSz5MMsaRDgq7Z78pzLNZlv3kCBWHThRVGtsmtqDy-l7sAF7JuuqVQxmmWF5XejTv6JePiiqDm4VuPpLH1XRuFHkT03NILROz-Qgexe9-tTU2iRaOAaNSB6eWNp2Cl3g?key=vngHer8ZDhJUUynOaB5pCQ)**

#### **Little Fixes = Big Improvements**

- **Shipment Portal Enhancements.** Shared shipment portals just got more powerful—with access to the new sensor chart and updated shipment map views. Customers can also enable a new “Show Alerts” setting to display all in-transit alerts directly in the portal. Additionally, users can now download shipment data as a CSV file, in addition to the existing PDF export option.

### May

#### **Reference Saved Locations via API—for Smarter Shipment Setup**

Use a unique Tive location ID when calling the **Create Shipment** endpoint to accurately apply saved geofences—reducing setup errors and ensuring shipments are linked to the right locations. You can now find these IDs in the Saved Locations list inside the platform.
