Patented in the U.S. and the EU as the only tracking system and method specifically for luggage tracking, LugTrack employs seamless, intelligent tracking to pinpoint and relay precise locational data to ensure accuracy regardless of connectivity. The system uses GPS, GSM, WiFi and Bluetooth wireless technology in its multi-modal approach.
"We provide incredibly accurate locational data for golf enthusiasts to pinpoint where their clubs are at all times, ensure they are returned quickly if lost and even receive alerts when their bags are being moved or roughly handled," said Mike Allen, CEO of LugTrack. "LugTrack is designed to be secured inside luggage so that in the event the bag does become lost, it can easily be located and recovered, no matter where it ends up."
Treccani Milano's line of custom golf bags are now available with LugTrack devices, allowing golf enthusiasts choosing one of these exquisite bags to track it through the security, onboarding and deplaning processes, giving travelers peace of mind about where their clubs are at all times. If their bags do get lost, LugTrack can provide the airline with the locational data needed to track down bags and expedite the repatriation process, saving all parties involved stress, time and money.
According to IAGTO, the global trade organization of the golf tourism industry, bookings for worldwide golf holidays in 2013 and 2014 increased by over 20 percent.
"Every year the airline industry handles around three billion pieces of luggage and each one is vitally important to its owner. This is particularly the case with valuable golf bags and clubs. Airlines and airports are investing more and more into technology that improves the handling and tracking of these billions of pieces of luggage as they are moved around the world," said Nick Gates, Baggage Director at SITA the leading provider of communications and IT to the air transport industry. "Now with technologies like LugTrack built into golf bags, enthusiasts can keep track of their clubs across the whole journey, not just when it is in the custody of the airline."
"Our devoted clientele appreciates bespoke designs, and now, in addition to customizing the type of leather, color, contour, stitching and accents, they can also add a high-tech customization with LugTrack's tracking technology," said Treccani Milano Co-Founder, Emanuele Treccani. "Handcrafted with the finest leather, our bags are a significant cost investment and LugTrack can help ensure they are handled with respect and recovered if lost or stolen, giving our clientele valued piece of mind."
Treccani's leather golf and travel bags are entirely handcrafted by highly specialized Italian artisans, available online at www.treccanimilano.com and at Treccani's boutique in Toronto's trendy Yorkville neighborhood. Clients can customize their chosen designs right down to the type of color, contour, stitching, accents and leather, including calfskin or exotic leathers such as alligator and ostrich. Due to customizability bag prices vary, but range from $12,500 to $42,000 USD.
LugTrack will also be launching a campaign on Fundable in the coming weeks.
