Belongs Inc. Launches Next Generation Global Lost and Found Service for the Web and Smartphones

Palo Alto, CA — Jul 02, 2012 / (http://www.myprgenie.com) — Belongs Inc. (http://www.belon.gs), the first global lost and found web and mobile service will be beta launching the Belon.gs technology this month to help people keep track of all their belongings. The proprietary Belon.gs techno logy, based on QR code tags, was created by a group of resourceful Finnish contrarians who envisioned a better world — a world without the unnecessary grief that comes from losing your valuables.

When was the last time you lost some really valuable item? Was it a phone, wallet, bag, car keys or sport equipment? Regrettably, these things tend to happen to all of us. Until now losing one’s stuff has been accepted as a frustrating yet quintessential part of the universal human condition. This frustration, it seemed, was destined to haunt humankind for all eternity.

Now with Belongs, you no longer have to worry about losing your valuables. The idea is simple. Order free tag stickers from the Belon.gs website (www.belon.gs), claim them online and stick them to your valuables. When your item gets lost, the finder can scan the tag’s QR code with their smartphone or access the web address on the tag. The owner is automatically notified, and anonymous chat is established between the two parties to arrange the return of the lost item. To further incentivize the returning of valuables, Belongs supports setting rewards for found items through PayPal, and the Belongs technology will streamline the transfer of the reward from owner to finder.

“We are excited to introduce the revolutionary Belongs technology to the US,” says Tomi Alapaattikoski, the CEO and founder of Belongs. “Now with Belongs lost and found web and mobile service losing your valuables is a thing of the past.”

For business users Belongs offers special plans and pricing which will allow small, medium and enterprise-sized corporations to handle their asset management and to tag all the valuables in the company or company units. The company has already set up an office in Silicon Valley and signed up one of the largest media companies in Finland to use Belongs for their asset management.
