The problem at this venue
Return lanes, the counter and the cleaning bay each see items. A note on a keypad does not survive the next rental.
The renter is already at the airport, or in another city. Pickup at the branch they used is often impossible.
A brand with many branches cannot tell, from a shared mailbox, which branch logged the item or whether it already went out with the next car.
How Boomerang works here
01Guest claim
Guests file a claim in under 45 seconds from any device, through the link on your website or a QR code. No app download. Staff can file for a guest who calls or walks up, and that guest gets the same updates.
02Staff log the item
Staff log a found item from a photo. The description is written with the photo, in about 30 seconds, instead of about 4 minutes by hand.
03AI matching
Matching runs when an item is logged and when a claim comes in. It reads photos, descriptions, dates, locations, follow-up answers and venue context. Your team confirms every match before the guest is notified. The guest then sees the same details and approves or denies the match.
04Pickup or shipping
The guest pays for shipping. They choose a carrier and service level at checkout, at discounted rates. Guests typically pay under $15 for a standard return. Pickup is there too, with a signature for the handover.
