Often we arrive at the airport at 9am, however the check-in is only at 12h, and during that time we have our bags with us, which are heavy, difficult to transport or have something of value that we fear steal us. What do we do in these cases during this dead time? We either leave in certain fixed points of the city like the "luggage stores" (having the problem of having to return to the same place later to raise them), take with us arriving at the end of the day with back or very tired pains, or we wait for the check in to drop them off at the hotel. These and other "solutions" that always require a prior planning in order to begin to enjoy our trip, which is, an headache... From that problem was born Send&Store, where we go to your meeting to keep all your luggage and to return it wherever and whenever you want.

Our project consists in creating an application on the web (which is currently 90% complete) that allows the booking of our service, collect the bags at a place and time chosen by the client, and then return the bags, again at a location and time chosen by the user. This all including a tracking system in the bag, knowing exactly where the bag is at any time. At a later stage, we will develop a mobile application to facilitate all service use processes. In just 4 clicks the traveler leaves their luggage with us, getting stored to start enjoying their trip as he exits the plane. To better explain the concept of Send&Store we have this video:

Thus, the traveler is no longer tied to off-route schedules or solutions (such as traditional trunk stores).

Our service is focused on all travelers who feel the need to store their luggage as quickly as possible when arriving at their destination, as well as people with luggage difficulties, so that everyone can enjoy 100% of the experience of their trip . We did a promotional video that shows a problem that many travelers face:

Having already done a market research, we found that 90% of those interviewed want to get rid of their luggage because, at some point in their journey, their bags are inconvenient. The solution we've created will solve this problem, be it at the airport or anywhere in the city.
