New condition monitoring IoT solution enhances supply chain visibility for pharmaceutical companies

SANTA ANA, Calif., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE), a global leader in RFID- and BLE-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced a strategic business development and marketing partnership with Tag-N-Trac, a full stack IoT platform provider for real-time supply chain visibility and traceability.

The partnership combines Identiv’s advanced BLE smart labels with Tag-N-Trac’s RELATIVITY™ SaaS platform, an integrated IoT solution that delivers item-level visibility and actionable insights from origin to delivery.

The RELATIVITY platform is an industry-first single platform for “In warehouse” and “In transit” across globe visibility and traceability using purpose built smart labels and tags.

Identiv’s smart labels continuously capture raw environmental data throughout a product’s journey to delivery. Tag-N-Trac’s platform transforms this data into real-time analytics for monitoring location, condition, and chain-of-custody status, making the technology platform well suited for high-value products such as vaccines, biologics, and other temperature-sensitive medications.

“Cold chain visibility is one of the most complex and vital challenges in pharmaceutical distribution and logistics,” said Venu Gutlapalli, CEO of Tag-N-Trac. “Together with Identiv, we’re delivering a comprehensive digital solution that gives pharmaceutical companies the confidence and data intelligence to manage temperature-sensitive products safely, efficiently, and in full compliance.”
