Is there anything more frustrating than lost luggage? Over 76,000 bags are mishandled by airlines every day. That’s over 28 million bags per year, 5% of which are never found. The cost to airlines and travelers is hundreds of millions of dollars every year. To bring a new level of security to the travel industry, Package, Inc. has announced LuggageCam, a cutting-edge luggage tracking and security system to solve this major pain point for airlines and travelers. This isn’t just a simple location tag for personal items—Package, Inc has a vision for a whole new system of security.
Package, Inc. recently announced a new product ecosystem that is solving a problem that many travelers face on a regular basis – lost and stolen luggage. While existing products are limited to basic consumer location trackers with little or no real-time security, Package, Inc. is building a comprehensive enterprise and consumer product portfolio with LuggageCam, a cutting-edge luggage tracking and security system that offers a real-time baggage tracking, video monitoring and end-to-end insurance solution for both airlines and passengers.
The LuggageCam enterprise cloud platform enables airlines and airports to track, monitor and secure luggage for entire flights, fleets and large groups while the LuggageCam consumer app enables individual travelers and families to track, monitor and secure their bags and belongings in real-time at all times throughout their travels.
By combining luggage logistics, tracking, networking and security, LuggageCam delivers an industry-defining wireless tracking and audio-video security system that securely locks onto a luggage handle, turning any travel bag into a smart bag.
