There's nothing worse than the excitement of an overseas holiday or an important business trip being ruined by discovering that your luggage is missing after a long flight. While mishandled luggage is unfortunately common, Retreev’s SMART Tags and SMART Stickers can help minimise this risk. Let’s explore the areas of risk when travelling and how Retreev can help you recover your belongings.

Areas of Risk when Travelling

It’s surprising how quickly your belongings/stuff can go missing, especially when flying. Here are some common spots where personal items can easily be misplaced:

• Uber or Airport Transfer: This is the top spot where people misplace items. As we are checking our trips, emails, and travel itineraries, we can easily forget stuff in the vehicle - phones, wallets, or even entire bags being left behind. 
• Checking In: At the check-in counter, you need to present your passport and get your luggage weighed, increasing the chances of leaving your passport at the check in desk..
• Security Checkpoints: Emptying your bags and taking out laptops, phones, and tech at security checkpoints can easily lead to forgotten items. 
• Boarding the Plane & In-Flight: Once on the plane it's natural to put phones, laptops, and headphones in the seat pocket. And can easily hide away in seat pockets, especially amidst the excitement or stress of travel.

Retreev’s Triple-S Solution

In just 2 minutes, we identified four risk spots where your belongings can go missing. Now, imagine all the potential danger zones when you're out shopping, travelling to work, or just exploring town. It sounds daunting, but don’t worry! Here are Retreev’s three solutions that increase your chances of finding your lost items.

Security: Retreev Protects Your Identity

Traditional tags display your personal details in plain sight, making identity theft a risk. Here's how Retreev keeps your privacy intact:

• Privacy Protection: Your personal details are never displayed on Retreev SMART tags. When someone finds your item, they can scan the QR code or use the NFC chip to contact you through Retreev’s secure system, keeping your information safe.
• Global Recovery Network: Retreev tags are integrated with the WorldTracer system, used by over 500 airlines and 2800 airports worldwide, significantly increasing the chances of recovering your lost items. People are inherently good and will return your belongings if possible, and Retreev makes it easy for them to do so.

Smart: Modern Technology for Modern Travelers

Retreev tags are packed with smart features:

• No Batteries Required: Unlike GPS trackers, Retreev tags don’t rely on batteries, eliminating the risk of them becoming non-functional due to a dead battery. 
• User-Friendly Setup: Activating a Retreev tag is straightforward. Simply scan the QR code to set up your profile, and the tag is ready to use. The recovery process is equally simple.

Sustainable: Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective

In addition to being secure and smart, Retreev tags are designed with sustainability in mind:

• Eco-Friendly Materials: Made from recycled plastic, Retreev tags appeal to environmentally conscious travellers. Even the packaging is recyclable.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Retreev tags offer a practical alternative to GPS trackers at a fraction of the cost, with no subscription fees and no need for batteries.
