The claim, plainly

TrackR shipped 400,000 units in the past 12 months.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

How this resolves

Settling this claim requires access to private company sales/shipment logs, internal inventory records, or an official audit of TrackR confirming at least 400,000 units were shipped between March 1, 2015 and February 28, 2016. Because TrackR was a private company, such granular unit shipment records are not part of any standard public reporting class.
