Total Visibility Anywhere (TVA) Supports Montimber Puerto Rico Rebuilding Effort
HIGHLIGHTS
- Tracked assets throughout multimodal transport from California to Puerto Rico
- Shared material-movement information with customers in real-time
- Acquired location data without transportation company involvement
Background
In the aftermath of devastating hurricanes that severely damaged Puerto Rico’s power grid, Montimber International, a general contractor based in Louisiana, was selected to help rebuild the island’s infrastructure. The project involved a multi-million-dollar FEMA contract that required the transport of critical equipment, including a large transformer and 28 pallets of materials, from California to Puerto Rico. Given the complexity of the logistics, Montimber sought a reliable solution to gain full visibility and accountability throughout the transportation process.
Challenge
The logistics challenge for Montimber was substantial: moving materials across different transportation methods (rail, trucking, and maritime) while maintaining visibility at every stage of the journey. The company needed a system that could track the materials in real-time, provide updates to customers, and ensure the timely delivery of critical equipment.
Solution
Montimber chose TVA (Total Visibility Anywhere), a cloud-based platform developed by Tactical Edge, to manage and track the entire logistics chain. TVA provided real-time tracking, from the moment the materials left California until they were delivered to Puerto Rico. The platform allowed Montimber to monitor the movement of the transformer and pallets across land and sea, offering end-to-end visibility. TVA’s seamless integration with Montimber’s existing systems made it easy to deploy, and the ability to share secure tracking links with customers enhanced trust and transparency.
TVA’s flexibility allowed Montimber to independently track all shipments, eliminating the need for third-party providers to supply data. By using the system, Montimber was able to maintain oversight of each step in the supply chain, ensuring the project met the necessary timelines and providing customers with up-to-date information as the shipments moved through the supply chain.
Results
The implementation of TVA was a game-changer for Montimber’s operations. By leveraging TVA, Montimber gained full transparency into the complex, multimodal logistics process. The real-time tracking capabilities were crucial in providing updates to customers and ensuring that shipments were on track. With full visibility, Montimber was able to manage the logistics effectively, reduce risks, and optimize delivery timelines.
“TVA provided the visibility we needed in an incredibly complex logistics chain,” said Adam Vodanovich, COO of Montimber. “It gave us confidence to ensure that our materials were on track, and it allowed us to keep our clients informed every step of the way. TVA was crucial in building trust and managing the project effectively.”
