The short answer
Liff Valet is a staff-run check-in: at the gate, staff capture a photo and description on a tablet, the guest gets reminders, and picks the item up on the way out. KeepSafe is guest self-serve by QR in under 30 seconds, with staff reviewing later, and the item ships home or waits for pickup.
KeepSafe may suit you if
- You want no staff time at the line
- Guests should be able to have the item shipped home
- You want it at airports, stadiums and theme parks as well as festivals

Job by job
Speed at the gate
Valet keeps it professional with a quick staff check-in. KeepSafe takes staff out of the moment entirely: the guest grabs a tagged bag, scans and snaps a photo, so the line keeps moving even at peak entry.
Guests who will not come back this way
At airports and multi-gate venues, many guests never pass the same point again. KeepSafe lets them pay to ship the item home, or choose pickup or an authorized pickup person if it cannot ship.
Switching to KeepSafe
We send bags, tags and co-branded signage for each gate, set up the KeepSafe queue and train the team before doors open. It runs on its own or next to Boomerang lost and found.

Questions
How does KeepSafe work for the guest?
The guest grabs a tagged bag, scans the QR, enters contact details and a shipping address and snaps a photo, with no app and no account. They keep half of the tear-away tag and move on. Your team reviews items later in a dedicated KeepSafe queue.
Can guests pick up instead of shipping?
Yes. Guests can pick up in person or name an authorized pickup person, and staff record the handover.
What if an item cannot be shipped?
Your team marks it not shippable with a preset reason, and the guest chooses in-person pickup, an authorized pickup person or discard. Anything left unresolved rolls off on your timeline.
How is KeepSafe priced?
KeepSafe is its own product with its own annual subscription, and runs on its own or alongside Boomerang in the same portal. Guests pay shipping. Boomerang offers multiple revenue-share opportunities, and partners on average earn back upwards of 25% of their annual contract value every year.
