Track It Down - A digital way to find your belongings

February 6, 2025

“Track It Down” is a web application built using the MERN stack, specifically designed to address the problem of lost items on the college campus. Many individuals
struggle to locate their lost belongings as they cannot remember where they misplaced them. Existing methods, such as relying on WhatsApp groups to share information about lost or found items, lack reliability in ensuring that the message reaches the correct person. Track It Down aims to provide a centralized platform for finding lost items and reporting found items. The application utilizes a MongoDB database and incorporates a verification process to authenticate the rightful receiver of a found item. In educational institutions like KMIT, the constant occurrence of lost items causes significant inconvenience and financial burdens for students and teachers. The primary motivation behind this project is to simplify the process of locating lost items while ensuring that they are returned to their rightful owners.
