OUR STORY

Inspired by the challenges of modern travel, we created BagID to make every journey smoother and stress-free.

When our founder, Jan Vidar, was working as an electrical engineer onboard offshore installations in the Norwegian North Sea, he would time and time again experience that his checked bags and equipment were left behind somewhere along his journey. This incurred a lot of frustration and costs for him and his team, his employer, the oil and gas operators, airlines and handlers.

About Us

In aviation, more than 25 million pieces of luggage goes missing or astray each year, 3 billion silicon-covered, non-circular, paper tags are printed, and poor legibility is often the rule rather than the exception. In addition, lost luggage makes us buy stuff we already have. All in all, baggage astray when flying is stressful, costly, and unsustainable. We saw the need to digitalize, simplify, and change the way people travel with luggage when they fly!

We are working together with leading airport groups to challenge and improve airport infrastructure and efficiency.
