Job by job
Private inventory
Public photo galleries expose your inventory, let people see details and falsely claim items, and are not best practice. Publishing a catalog can work for umbrellas and water bottles, but it matters most for wallets, IDs, payment cards and phones. Boomerang keeps the whole back room private and still makes it fast: guests file in under a minute, and matching does the looking through verified claims.
Getting paid shipments out the door
In Boomerang the guest picks a carrier and speed and pays online, the label is bought automatically and the item lands in a Ready to Pack queue with carrier, service and package details. Guests typically pay under $15 for a standard return.
Revenue and reporting
Boomerang offers multiple revenue-share opportunities, and partners on average earn back upwards of 25% of their annual contract value every year. Analytics show return rate, shipping turnaround and per-employee activity.

Questions
Can guests browse found items in Boomerang?
Public photo galleries expose your inventory, let people see details and falsely claim items, and are not best practice. That matters most for wallets, IDs, payment cards and phones. Boomerang keeps inventory private and secure, and matches items through verified claims: guests describe what they lost, and staff and the guest both confirm before anything is released.
How do you stop the wrong person from getting an item?
Two checks. Your team reviews every match side by side and can ask the guest a question from the claim. Then the guest sees the same details your team logged, like photos and where it was found, next to what they described, and approves or declines before anything ships. Every decision is logged.
Can we pilot Boomerang first?
We are open to it. We agree what the pilot needs to show and when it ends before we start.
Can we bring our existing inventory over?
Yes. We bulk import your open inventory as part of go-live, so the whole back room is searchable on day one and nobody has to log it twice.
How long does go-live take?
Sign the agreement, join a 30-minute kick-off call and add the claim link to your website. Larger rollouts add on-site workshops, SOPs and signage for every location.
