Kar Yee Fransham, Head of Asia Sales at Tile Inc., commented, "Our mission is to provide peace of mind by helping users find their lost items. By partnering with Lawson, a major convenience store chain, we aim to bring Tile to more consumers and make that mission a reality."
● "Tile Access Point"
The "Tile Access Point" constantly searches for "Tiles" and communicates with the server, expanding the "Tile" community of users in 230 countries and regions, thereby increasing the probability of finding lost items. In December 2019, it was also introduced to approximately 20,000 "JapanTaxi Tablets" nationwide, operating as "moving Tile access points."
Going forward, by installing access points in locations prone to lost and found items, such as stations and airports, Tile will continue to fulfill its mission to "eliminate the time, resources, and frustration associated with searching for lost items."
● The "Tile" Community: Finding Items Together
With the "Tile Community," where users worldwide can help find your "Tile," other users' "Tile" apps automatically connect when they pass near your "Tile." This sends your "Tile's" location information to the cloud, and your location is then shared through the "Tile" app. This feature allows you to find lost items even when traveling abroad or on business trips, with the cooperation of users around the globe.
