Sendum Wireless

What Sendum Wireless does

Sendum Wireless Corporation is a privately held Canadian company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, that provides real-time supply chain visibility solutions focused on Life Sciences. Its offering centers on the Findum Software platform, a SaaS visibility layer for tracking shipment location and monitoring cargo vital signs (temperature, humidity, shock, drop, orientation, pressure, light, motion), complemented by the PT300 palm-sized hardware tracker and a Temperature Probe line spanning controlled room temperature down to cryogenic (-196°C) applications. A core technical differentiator is its proprietary "Must Find" RF engineering, which the company reports achieves 97% location yield in RF-impaired environments (containers, refrigerated trailers, aircraft) compared to 64% for the next-best competitor in side-by-side testing.

The company sells primarily to enterprise Life Sciences customers — advanced therapy, biologics, regenerative medicine, tissue, vaccine, and clinical trial sponsors — through a direct enterprise field-sales motion supplemented by a self-serve login to the Findum platform. Its revenue model combines hardware sales (PT300 devices and probes), recurring SaaS subscriptions for Findum, and one-time software licenses bundled with hardware, with custom enterprise pricing billed annually. Sendum supports integration with TMS, WMS, CRM, and ELD/GPS systems, is certified on 100+ airlines, and operates across 200+ countries with cellular connectivity via Verizon, Vodafone, and Sprint. Reported scale metrics include 400+ Life Sciences companies, 200+ commercial products, 600+ clinical trials, and a case study showing one customer achieving over $20 million in savings and a 70% reduction in product losses within a year. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds or acquisition history, and is led by co-founder and CEO Wayne Chester.

Core offering

Sendum provides real-time supply chain visibility for Life Sciences through the Findum Software platform, the PT300 multi-sensor package tracker, and a range of scientific temperature probes covering controlled room temperature through cryogenic (-196°C) applications. The combined offering delivers GPS location tracking, environmental sensor telemetry, indoor/cold-storage visibility, and electronic chain-of-identity/condition/custody documentation for high-value, temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments from manufacturing through patient administration.

Product overview

Sendum offers a portfolio of supply chain visibility solutions centered around the Findum Software platform, complemented by the PT300 Package Tracker hardware device and Temperature Probes. Findum is the unified software platform that integrates real-time shipment tracking, cargo vital sign monitoring (temperature, humidity, shock, orientation), indoor visibility, and exception management. The PT300 is a palm-sized multi-modal tracking device that works across air, road, rail, and sea transportation. Temperature Probes are scientific measurement devices designed for Life Science applications ranging from standard refrigeration to cryogenic temperatures. These products work together to provide comprehensive product integrity and visibility across the supply chain.
