How StickNSeek was built & tested
StickNSeek combines mobile development, QR-code generation, and GPS services with secure cloud technology to manage accounts, notifications, and recovery records.
Development toolkit
System logic & development process
Seven connected steps take an item from a quick scan all the way through to a completed, archived recovery.
- 01
Generate personalized QR codes
Each registered account receives a unique QR code linked to its StickNSeek profile in the database.
- 02
QR code detection
The camera scanner reads the code on a lost item and identifies its registered owner.
- 03
Missing item registration
The finder submits item name, date, time, and location — automatically linked to the owner.
- 04
GPS-based drop-off assignment
The system analyzes the finder’s location and recommends the nearest authorized drop-off point.
- 05
Notification distribution
The owner receives continuous notification updates throughout the recovery process.
- 06
Recovery tracking
The History feature lets both owner and finder track item status via auto-updated records.
- 07
Completion & archiving
Once collected, the case is marked complete and moved to the Completed Activities archive.
