What LOSTnFOUND does
LOSTnFOUND AG is a privately held Swiss telematics and IoT provider founded in 2007 and headquartered in Adliswil, with wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in Munich (LOSTnFOUND Deutschland GmbH) and Saint-Louis (LnF TELEMATIQUE SAS), plus a Renningen warehouse for returns processing. The company sells a portfolio of GPS/GSM tracking hardware - NIMBO and NIMBO II trackers, CALVUS, VELUMplus and VELUMplus II (GPS), TUBA, STRATUS III, LENTICUS, LENTICUS rugged, ALTUS, OPACUS, and the AddSecure Solar Tracker - together with the ConnectedTrailer© package that uses the Sigfox 0G LPWAN network to deliver multi-year battery life for unpowered trailers and containers. The hardware is supported by a proprietary 12-language cloud platform with branded modules: InformationTower© (dispatch), TelematicRepository© (30+ Excel/PDF reports), AdvancedMonitoring© (alarm escalation), ConnectedMission© (order/resource management), ConnectedTemperature© (cold chain, +/- 0.5°C accuracy), SmartModeTracking©, ActiveDeviceManagement© (automated device reanimation), MultiNetworkSet©, and OpenTelematics (REST-API aligned with the OpenTelematics.io standard, integrating 80+ third-party TMS, ERP, and route-planning systems).
LOSTnFOUND serves European transportation, logistics, cold chain, fleet, construction, and lone-worker customers across 20+ countries, with stated operations spanning 50+ territories via SIM/0G roaming. Revenue is generated through hardware-plus-service bundles sold as 6-, 12-, or 24-month packages (typical ASP range €40-€160 for ConnectedTrailer/NIMBO-class devices), recurring connectivity subscriptions via GSM/Sigfox, and fee-based professional services including 24-hour emergency support and DSGVO data-protection consulting. GTM combines direct enterprise sales through regional offices in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and France, an e-commerce storefront (with significant clearance pricing on legacy SKUs), and an integration/sales partner program branded fleet.tech that recruits resellers in transportation, courier, construction, passenger transport, car rental, and field-service verticals using a 6-month free trial.
The company has won four German Telematics Awards (Gold 2016, 2018, 2022, and double gold 2026), the German Brand Award 2017, the IAA 2016 Telematik-Award Anwenderpreis, and Continental Awards 2016 for ContiPressureCheck integration. Disclosed customers are predominantly mid-market and SMB transport operators (Burri AG, Max Schwarz AG, Walter Pausch, SATRA Eberhardt, Grauwiler 1821 AG) plus Migros Ostschweiz for cold-chain documentation. LOSTnFOUND is run as a tightly-held private company with Daniel Thommen serving both as CEO and Chairman of the Board, with no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or M&A activity disclosed.
