Integrity by Design: How Boomerang Builds Trust and Accountability in Lost & Found

At Boomerang, we’ve always believed that returning lost items is about more than logistics—it’s about trust. When a customer misplaces a valuable item, they’re not just losing an object: they’re facing uncertainty. How your business responds in that moment either reinforces your brand’s integrity or weakens it.

That’s why we’ve built Boomerang’s platform to do more than find matches quickly. It’s built with integrity by design, making sure every match is ethical, accurate, and transparent. With great reporting and benchmarking, we give our partners the tools to measure, monitor, and continuously improve their Lost & Found performance. Together, these pillars help our partners build confidence both with customers and inside their organizations.

Returning the wrong item should be incredibly difficult. Boomerang’s AI has strong guardrails built in place, sanity checking again and again, both for human error and technology errors to ensure that the right item is being returned. 

• Image & Metadata Matching: Our system uses multiple layers of verification—photos, timestamps, item descriptions, even geolocation data—to minimize misidentification and prevent fraudulent claims.
• Fraud Reduction: AI flags inconsistencies in claims, ensuring that only rightful owners are reunited with their belongings. This protects both the customer and the business from costly mistakes.

Integrity doesn’t stop with a single successful return. It’s about building a system that improves over time, and that’s where AI-powered technology, reporting and benchmarking come in.

• Custom Dashboards: Partners can track real-time metrics such as return rates, average match time, peak-loss periods, return locations, return methods (shipped or picked-up), and more. 
• Benchmarking: Compare your performance against industry averages, your team’s historical performance, etc. 

With this level of visibility, Lost & Found evolves from a reactive service into a proactive, strategic advantage.

With Boomerang, companies don’t just solve the problem of lost items. They reinforce their values, build loyalty, and stand apart as organizations that care. AI isn’t just making Lost & Found faster. It’s making it more ethical, transparent, and measurable than ever before. And that’s how trust is built—not by chance, but by design.
