Lost & Found QR Tags for Sports and Gym Accessories
A QUICK AND SIMPLE SETUP PROCESS
GET THE TAGS AND CHOOSE A SPOT WHERE THEY'LL GO ON YOUR EQUIPMENT
Once you decide on a fitting spot for a QR code, pick the color of the QR code you want (mainly to differentiate individual items from the bunch), and apply it.
PREPARE THE CODE FOR USE: SCAN AND ACTIVATE IT
The moment your QR tag is scanned for the first time, it is officially activated and ready to use. Just don’t forget to provide important contact details during setup so other people can contact you.
FEEL FREE TO ADD, REMOVE, AND MANAGE ALL THE CREATED TAGS
Change or hide certain contact details, add co-owners, and thrive with your brand new loss-protection method. When the situation arises that you lose something and a finder scans the code, you’ll be ready .
THE ITEM IS LOST BUT FOUND BY FINDER: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
It’s simple. Once the QR tag you’ve applied is scanned, you will be notified (message/email) and get a request to chat with the person who found it. You can then agree on meet-up location and time that’s suitable for both parties, with the intention of getting your stuff back in one piece . If you are unable to respond when the notification comes in, simply notify the co-owner , if you have one, and they can follow the same procedure.
Many features and possibilities
On a basic level, the abTag code is a collection of contact details that you manage yourself , but they’re also available, for the most part, to the finder. Once you apply and activate the code, you also gain access to all the chat rooms you could possibly need should someone find your lost item. And you don’t have to worry about safety because they’re 100% secure and private , shared only between you and the individual who happens to stumble across your item.
The co-ownership feature allows for easy sharing of one code, letting you effectively split the job into parts. This is useful if, for example, you’re unsure if you or your partner/friend/teammate are unavailable at the time of scanning. It’s also worth noting that only you , the primary owner, have the ability to change or hide the contact data you input. If you ever have any problems with any of the described features or the setup process, feel free to ask our technical support team relevant questions.
When could the QR tag come in clutch?
- You accidentally forget gym accessories (gloves, water/supplement bottles, straps, etc.) in the gym. People lose personal accessories in the gym all the time, so it’s super important that you protect yourself from possible losses and mix-ups . First of all, by putting a QR code on your belonging, you signify that the item is yours , avoiding misunderstandings in case someone possesses an identical product. Second, if you ever forget your stuff after a workout – weights, a bottle, a backpack, or anything else – the gym staff will have a way to scan the code and notify you.
- BMX, mountain, and cycling bikes get lost. Even bigger equipment are subject to loss, like bicycles and motorbikes. If you ever find yourself in this situation, having a pre-applied QR code might just be a lifesaver. With this safeguard in place, a Good Samaritan can quickly return your wheels to you. All the finder has to do is scan the code, and from there, it’s up to you to decide how and when you’ll meet up to retrieve it.
- You left your tennis racket or tennis bag/storage container behind after the match. If left behind, a tennis racket loss can be quite a costly mistake, as they aren’t always affordable to replace. Luckily, if you play on a team or have a classic 1v1 partner, another player will be able to notify you almost immediately, even if you’ve already left the court. You can simply return later to retrieve it and anything else you might have forgotten.
- You forget special sports gear/equipment after a sports event or competition. Special gear is just as , if not more, prone to misplacing during and after sports events. Thankfully, there are often lost-and-found systems put in place, as well as janitors and event workers looking out for potential lost items at the end of the day. If you ever lose something at a sports event, there’s a high chance that it will be found by the aforementioned people. Once you get notified by a message sent through the built-in chat, you can simply return to the event area the next day and inquire about your item, either in the lost-and-found area or from an assigned worker.
- Personal yoga mats, stretching balls, and other forms of equipment get left behind. After a group workout, you might accidentally leave some of your stuff in the yoga studio or locker room. The QR code greatly reduces the stress of permanently losing your belongings, as now, any staff worker or fellow group member can be there to first notify you and return your stuff the next time you meet.
- There’s been confusion or a mix-up of belongings. It’s not uncommon for members of the same gym or sports club to own the same gear, like the same brand of gloves, similar-looking water bottles, etc. It’s only logical that you avoid taking someone else’s stuff, or vice versa, by marking your gear with a visible QR tag .
