Challenge
There are several tracing products existing today, but the market is still full of opportunities. Our challenge was to design a product that is simple and easy to apply for several purposes, is cheaper than Airtag yet still functional.
Solution
A product that is simple to use and easy to carry around. Users can find their items through Finder app, which is connected to the tracking item and is built to lead the user to a lost object in an interactive and intuitive way.
The tracking product
An easily applicable product that fits items with
different sizes, even a pen. Cover comes in different colors. It can be paired with Finder app through Bluetooth.

The process
1. Brainstorming
In the brainstorming phase, we have ideated about the functions of the app, and have made a plan for the user research part.
2. User research
We have used both quantitative and qualitative methods to research current need of tracking items for users.
Future workshop and survey has been conducted.
3. Data analysis & further steps
We have used both quantitative and qualitative methods to research current need of tracking items for users.
Future workshop and survey has been conducted.
4. High fidelity prototype
Having analysed the data we have built a clear vision of users' needs and after defining the functions we would keep, we have designed a high-fidelity prototype.

Key functions and
high-fidelity prototype
-
List of which tracking devices are nearest
-
Directional guidance to the tracking device
-
Activation of sound on the tracking device
-

The tracking item
There were 4 main requirements for the product:
-
List of items that have an artifact attached to them.
-
The user should be able to name their belongings.
-
Easy registration and onboarding.
-
Simple localization of belongings.
In addition to the artifact, there is a silicone fastening device that serves as a frame and can be replaced when relocating the product, preventing the need for a new purchase. This design choice is also driven by sustainability.
Tracking is done via Bluetooth, allowing multiple FinderTags to be paired with the same mobile phone for tracking various items. The app lets users name each FinderTag and customize them with icons and colors for easier identification.
