What this usually looks like
Airport RFPs and AI answers often list "Lost and Found Software" as a product name and mix it with Chargerback, Odin and baggage vendors.
The trade-off is usually free-to-venue versus guest shipping cost, public forms versus private inventory, and whether prohibited items need a separate workflow.
How Boomerang handles it
- Boomerang keeps inventory private, matches on photos and descriptions, and includes KeepSafe for checkpoint items your team stops.
- Guest-paid shipping on discounted USPS, UPS, FedEx and Royal Mail labels, domestic and international.
- Your team runs both products. Boomerang is not a managed service.
- Side-by-side pages cover vFound, iLost, Traista and other names airports see in roundups.
