Arviem

The firm operates on a full-service, "pay-per-use" business model, which eliminates the need for clients to invest in hardware, software, or specialized staff. Arviem provides clients, which include manufacturers, exporters, and importers of high-value, sensitive, or perishable goods, with IoT-enabled monitoring devices that are attached to cargo at the point of loading. These devices, sourced from multiple manufacturers to fit specific use cases, collect and transmit real-time data on location, temperature, humidity, light exposure (indicating potential intrusion), and shock. Arviem manages the entire process, including the logistics of deploying and retrieving the devices.

Data is fed into a cloud-based analytics platform, which provides clients with a unified, carrier-independent view of their shipments across all transport modes. This platform delivers actionable insights through tailored management reports and real-time notifications about disruptions or deviations, allowing for proactive problem-solving. Beyond tracking, the data enables clients to optimize inventory management, reduce administrative costs, lower insurance premiums, and ensure product quality and security. The company also offers services built around this data, such as working capital optimization, supply chain financing, risk management, and carbon footprint analysis. Arviem has raised approximately $15 million in funding over several rounds from investors including SICPA, Swisscom Ventures, and Zurcher Kantonalbank.
