LOFO Global: Fast Facts

LOFO allows “losers” to post a reward and bump their listings higher in the search results. “Finders” can also sell items over 28 days old in LOFO’s marketplace, and either keep the money or donate it to charity - right from their phone. Larger companies can utilize the desktop software to list larger quantities of items, and donate any sales to the charity of their choice. 

 

Losers Weepers

People lose things every single day. Sometimes we lose a pen and forget about it as soon as we find a new one, no harm done. Sometimes, though, we lose something important like a wedding ring or a beloved pet. Now what?

The easiest thing to do as a finder is return the item to a police station, but then how do they know who the object belongs to? The police force should be spending their time and resources on more important things anyway.

Hello, Is it Me You’re Looking For?

You know the feeling when you finally finish cleaning a room and everything is exactly where it should be? That’s the feeling LOFO wants to create, globally. 

LOFO is the world’s first comprehensive app that actively connects “losers” and “finders” from around the world, uniting them in the onerous cause of returning lost pets and items.

• Utilizes the first ever matching app algorithm that connects found items to lost descriptions based on qualities such as color, location, name, and category. The app alerts the “loser”, and keeps looking if it’s not a perfect match
• Easy to search for lost and found items using Google Maps; thumbs up and down icons appear with a “$” symbol for an offered reward
• Free to use, streamlined, and hassle-free app encourages use
• Desktop dashboard allows use by larger corporations

All of these features (and future expansions) mean that each item or pet has the best chances possible to be reunited with their owner. 

Reunited, and It Feels So Good

LOFO exists primarily to help two groups, the “losers” and the “finders”. 

The system will stay much the same when utilized by larger companies such as police stations, airports, airlines, shopping malls, hotels, or car rental companies.

Guest or client returns a lost item found at their location

The company uses the desktop software to post listings

Matched items are returned, fostering trust and integrity

Items listed for more than 28 days are sold and the money is donated to a charity of the company’s choice as part of the “corporate social responsibility” (CSR) program, also allowing the company to write off that donation during tax season
