Keepsmybag

Keepsmybag – Full Description

Slogan: “Bavulunu bırak, şehri özgürce keşfet.”

Keepsmybag is a smart luggage storage network that transforms how travelers experience cities. It solves one of the most common problems tourists and business travelers face: having to drag their suitcases around before hotel check-in, after check-out, or during transfer times. This issue limits mobility, reduces participation in cultural activities, and negatively impacts both the traveler experience and local business revenues.

The Solution

Keepsmybag provides a location-based, AI-powered platform where travelers can quickly find and book the nearest safe luggage point through a mobile app or website.

• Secure handover: Each delivery is verified via QR code and one-time password, with mandatory insurance included.

• AI-driven optimization: The system predicts peak demand, recommends the best locations, and enables dynamic pricing for partners.

• Local business integration: Cafés, boutique hotels, shops, and gyms monetize unused space by serving as luggage points, creating a new revenue stream.

• End-to-end digital flow: Reservations, payments, and insurance are handled online for a seamless experience.

Value Proposition

• For Travelers: Freedom to explore luggage-free, reliable and insured service, fast digital booking.

• For Local Businesses: Extra income, stronger tourist interaction, higher visibility.

• For Cities: A “smart tourism” infrastructure that reduces congestion, channels tourist spending into the local economy, and supports urban mobility.

Business Model

Keepsmybag operates as a two-sided platform:

1. User fees – hourly or daily luggage storage payments.

2. Partner commissions – a share of each transaction from hosting businesses.

3. Premium memberships – fast-track reservations and exclusive offers.

4. Insurance integration – mandatory coverage included in every booking.

5. Future channels – advertising, B2B packages with tour operators, and loyalty programs.

Technology

• App & Web: Flutter/React Native + responsive design.

• Backend: Node.js/Python APIs on cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP).

• Security: QR/OTP, encrypted logs, PCI-DSS compliant payments.

• AI & Analytics: Recommendation engine, fraud detection, demand forecasting.

• Infrastructure: Microservices, Kubernetes, CI/CD for scalability.

Target Markets

• Individuals: International & domestic tourists, business travelers, day-trippers, transfer passengers, and Airbnb users.

• B2B: Local SMEs (cafés, hotels, shops) as luggage hosts; partnerships with OTAs, travel agencies, and tour operators.

Market Opportunity

• Turkey hosts 50M+ annual tourists, yet systematic luggage storage is almost nonexistent.

• European startups (Bounce, Radical Storage, Nannybag) show the model’s global scalability, but Turkey’s market is underserved.

• Keepsmybag differentiates with mandatory insurance, AI-powered optimization, and SME-focused integration.
