From Location to Condition: How TVA and Manta Fusion Protect What GPS Alone Can’t
Beyond Tracking: Protecting What Matters Most
In logistics, knowing where something is doesn’t guarantee peace of mind. Traditional GPS tracking can create a false sense of control. A trailer might appear fine on a map, but if the doors are open, temperatures are rising, or the shipment has been mishandled, critical issues may go unnoticed until it’s too late.
That’s where Total Visibility Anywhere (TVA) steps in.
TVA is a real-time logistics management platform built not only to track the location of assets, but to ensure their integrity throughout the journey. From warehouse shelves to jobsite drop-offs, TVA gives teams confidence that their materials are secure, untampered, and accounted for.
And when paired with Digital Matter’s Manta Fusion device—recently put to the test in a simulated tampering scenario—TVA shows just how powerful integrity-first tracking can be.
Putting TVA + Manta Fusion to the Test
During a recent test, Tactical Edge simulated shipment diversion and tampering using the new Manta Fusion device.
TVA was configured to track impacts, orientation shifts, temperature fluctuations, and battery health, while also using Manta’s BLE beacon scanning to detect nearby tagged items. The result: a complete picture of both shipment location and conditions—in real time.
TVA’s integration with Manta Fusion delivers far more than just GPS updates. It continuously monitors:
Impacts & orientation shifts – Was the item dropped or flipped?
Temperature changes – Are sensitive goods at risk?
Tampering – Has the device been removed or shielded
Unauthorized door events – Were shipments accessed improperly?
Battery health – Will the tracker make it to the destination?
TVA captures and contextualizes this data instantly, displaying alerts on a centralized dashboard and notifying key team members when something goes wrong. This gives organizations the power to act —before delays, losses, or compliance issues arise.
A Real-World Test: Shipment Tampering Detected
In the field test, a shipment was outfitted with Manta Fusion, configured to detect tamper events and orientation changes. Midway through transit, the shipment was diverted and the device was deliberately interfered with.
The response was immediate and triggered a chain of events.
- Manta Fusion triggered a tamper alert
- TVA generated a live alert in the system
- Tracking data was logged
- Notifications were sent to designated team members
Stakeholders were alerted within seconds! Well before the shipment could disappear or the issue escalate. This wasn’t just a passive record of an incident. It was an active, actionable alert with full context, enabling fast intervention and potential recovery.
The Power of TVA + Digital Matter Devices
In high-stakes industries like defense, pharma, construction, and cold-chain logistics, a compromised shipment can carry serious financial and reputational consequences. TVA helps teams stay ahead of issues with real-time integrity monitoring and chain-of-custody assurance—whether assets are on the shelf, in the yard, or in motion.
Working with Digital Matter devices like the Manta Fusion, TVA captures key data points including impacts, temperature shifts, battery level, and BLE beacon activity. This integration gives teams end-to-end visibility and immediate alerts when conditions change—so they can act fast and maintain control.
TVA plus Manta Fusion delivers:
- Real-time alerts for critical events
- Early warnings for damage or theft
- Context-rich data for audits and compliance
- Smarter workflows to manage exceptions—not guesswork
- Confidence that assets arrive intact and secure
- With everything unified in a single platform, TVA ensures your team stays informed, responsive, and ready to protect what matters most.
