What TagBox does

TagBox Solutions Private Limited is a Bangalore-headquartered IoT company founded in 2016 that builds supply chain monitoring solutions for temperature-sensitive, fragile, and high-value goods. Its platform combines proprietary hardware (Tag360 multi-parameter sensors monitoring temperature, humidity, vibration, and light; TagHub FX and GO cellular/Wi-Fi gateways; the TagLink mobile app) with cloud-based real-time monitoring, ML-driven excursion prediction, and diagnostic root cause analytics. The software integrates directly with customer ERP, WMS, and TMS systems to trigger trip qualification reports and SLA tracking, and the platform supports regulatory-compliant workflows for pharma, food and dairy (e.g., FSSAI -18°C), and e-commerce cold chain use cases. Product modules AssetLens and BoxLens extend the offering from cold chain monitoring to general asset- and box-level traceability for high-value and fragile goods.

The company's commercial model is enterprise B2B, with direct consultative sales to large pharma manufacturers, QSR chains, and e-commerce companies. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of sensors and gateways, recurring software/subscription fees for the monitoring platform (per-shipment or subscription basis), and professional services for ERP integration and deployment. Pricing is custom-quoted based on shipment volume, sensor count, and integration complexity; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. TagBox has served enterprise customers across India and APAC, with case studies citing outcomes such as 30% spoilage reduction, 70% reduction in order misplacement, 90% decrease in box loss, and 5–6X ROI for an e-commerce customer, plus temperature compliance effort reduction from 48 hours to under 6 hours for a biopharma manufacturer. Total disclosed funding is approximately $3.95 million across rounds in 2017, 2019, and 2021, led by TVS Motor Company in 2019 with participation from IAN Angel Fund, Anikarth Ventures, and a Flipkart Leap grant.
