Problem
Losing or misplacing personal items like keys, wallets, and bags is a common and frustrating experience. Traditional methods of finding these items can be time-consuming and stressful.
Solution
Filo offers a Bluetooth-enabled tracking tag that, when attached to valuable items, allows users to locate them via a connected mobile application. The user can ring the tag from the app to find the item audibly, or view the item's last known location on a map. The system also supports a "Comfort Zone" feature that alerts users when they move too far away from tagged items, preventing loss in the first place. Additionally, pressing the button on the Filo tag can make the user's smartphone ring, even when it is in silent mode.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals who frequently misplace personal belongings, as well as those seeking a proactive solution to prevent loss of valuable items like keys, wallets, bags, and other easily misplaced objects.
