Platform Capability
Enterprise Claim Management
Bring every lost item report, found item and ownership decision into one standardized, auditable workflow, across every location and department.
The Challenge
Lost property claims arrive through phone calls, emails, front desks and paper logs. Each location keeps its own records, found items are described inconsistently, and matching a guest's report to an item on the shelf depends on the memory of whoever is on shift.
The result is slow resolution, repeated follow-up from guests, items that are never reunited with their owners, and very little accountability when something goes wrong.
How the Platform Manages Claims
Centralized Intake
Guests report lost items through a consistent online intake, and staff log found items in the same system, so every claim starts with complete, structured information.
Structured Item Records
Standardized categories and descriptions make found items searchable and comparable across shifts, departments and locations.
Matching and Review
Staff review potential matches between lost reports and found items in one place, instead of searching shelves, spreadsheets and inboxes.
Ownership Verification
Structured verification steps help confirm the rightful owner before an item is released, protecting guests and the organization.
Clear Claim Status
Every claim moves through defined stages from report to return, so teams always know what needs attention and what is resolved.
Audit Trail and Chain of Custody
Each action is recorded against the claim, creating a traceable history of who handled an item, when and why.
Where It Fits in the Recovery Lifecycle
- Report
- Locate
- Verify Ownership

- Payment & Shipping

Highlighted stages are where Claim Management does its work.
