Found!t is designed to simplify the process of identifying and recovering lost items for schools and parents alike.
Why should I care about lost property?
Lost property is a £400m problem in the UK alone and you are spending money unnecessarily replacing lost items. Given our macroeconomic environment with continuous rises in cost of living, your money is better spent elsewhere.
Our children and grandchildren will inherit the planet we leave for them - majority of lost items end up on landfill contributing significantly to environmental damage.
​
Up to now, the management of lost property in the UK has not changed for decades. Found!t is transforming the management of lost property through our smart tag and services, which fosters good community values and returns lost items to their rightful owners sooner thereby saving time, money and keeping items off landfills and in the schools' ecosystem.
Is Found!t just another app?

How does Found!t work?
Found!t is a service that utilises smart tags and a user-friendly app, guided by core values of integrity, honesty and responsibility to manage lost items efficiently. Here’s how it works:
-
Item Registration: Parents and students can register their smart tag to the their item on the Found!t app. This includes attaching the smart tags physically to the item (stick, sew or iron on). This enables 'touch scan' identification.
-
Lost and Found Management: When an item is found, it is automatically logged into the system by virtue of scanning.
-
The person who finds the item 'touch scans' the smart tag and Found!t automatically notifies the owner.
-
The finder can return directly to the student or select the Lost Property designation location.
-
-
Notifications: Once the owner receives a found notification via the app, the owner can retrieve their lost property promptly.
