Description
<p>Trillions of dollars worth of goods move around the planet every year, and a shocking amount is lost, spoiled, or discarded. That wasted food, medicine, and equipment isn’t just a business problem; it’s a massive, underappreciated climate problem.</p><p>This week on <em>Everybody in the Pool</em>, Molly talks with Krenar Komoni, CEO and founder of Tive, a supply chain visibility company that helps businesses track and monitor shipments in real time. What started as a GPS tracker for his father-in-law's trucking company has grown into one of the fastest-growing companies in supply chain tech. Tive’s small-but-mighty trackers don’t just follow a shipment’s location — they also monitor temperature, light, and shock along the way, helping businesses intervene before a load of strawberries (or a shipment of vaccines) becomes a very expensive, very wasteful problem.</p><p><br></p><h3>We talk about:</h3><ul><li>Why real-time shipment visibility is a key ingredient in creating a greener supply chain</li><li>How temperature monitoring can save hundreds of thousands of dollars of food and medicine from going to waste</li><li>What "permanent disruption" and climate change means for global supply chains</li><li>How route data is helping companies find faster, more fuel-efficient paths they didn't know existed</li><li>Tive's commitment to sustainability in its own products, including lithium-free trackers and a tracker recycling program</li><li>Why AI agents will be hungry for real-time supply chain data, and what that could unlock for global efficiency</li><li>Krenar's 10-year vision: tracking 5-10% of all global shipments (and why that would be a very big deal)</li></ul><p><br></p><h3>Links:</h3><ul><li>Tive: <a href="https://www.tive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tive.com/</a></li><li>All episodes: <a href="https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/</a></li><li>Join our Discord! <a href="https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2z" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2z</a></li><li>Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: <a href="https://www.mollywood.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mollywood.co/</a></li><li>Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: <a href="https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/</a></li></ul><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
