TVS Motor Company has invested $3.85 million in TagBox, a supply chain IIoT and Machine Learning platform company as part of its Series A funding round. This round was entirely led by TVS Motor Company and its Singapore based subsidiary, TVS Motor (Singapore).
Rajesh Narasimhan, board member of TVS Motor Company and CEO of TVS Motor (Singapore), said, “We evaluated many companies providing IoT solutions in the supply chain and logistics space and found TagBox’s product offerings and solutions to be an unique blend of IoT, Machine Learning and close-loop AI. Their ability to help organisations monitor, predict and prevent SKU health risk in the supply chain is a clear differentiator. We are happy to invest in and strategically partner TagBox as they continue to pursue bottomline impact for Fortune 1000 companies by improving their supply chain processes while leveraging them for our own group businesses. Our current investment in Tagbox is part of the initial set of investments being made in strategically relevant digital startups.”
