For airlines and ground-handlers looking to increase their productivity, BagAssist is a process-driven application supporting Lost & Found agents from passenger declaration until the delivery of the bags. BagAssist is connected to SITA WorldTracer for the creation, update and closure of AHL, DPR and OHD files; as well as for all baggage handling actions such as bag reception, delivery, rushes, etc.
Thanks to its local database, BagAssist offers various additional features such as bag photo upload or file creation when WT is down. Interfaces to third-party systems such as DCS, airport / airline systems or delivery companies are also included to retrieve and populate data.
-
Delayed and damaged bags (AHL & DPR)
Thanks to the scan of the passenger boarding pass and the interfaces to third-party systems, delayed and damaged bag declarations are quickly created with consistent data. A professional PIR, customs document and needed airlines documents are printed for the passengers.
-
Found properties
Registering found properties in WorldTracer and performing searches is easily done via BagAssist. The upload of found items pictures speeds up the item recovery.
-
Quick Settlement
BagAssist ensures that the compensation and replacement bags given to passengers are as per the airline rules. In the administration tool BagAdmin, supervisors manage the bag inventory.
-
Rushes (FWD, FOH, FAH and FLZ)
Thanks to the embedded flight list, agents easily select the outbound flights. BagAssist sends a rush message to WorldTracer, a Baggage Source Message to the airport sorter and prints a rush bag label.
Our additonal module BagAutoRush works as a mini reconciliation system for baggage control department.
-
On-hand bags (OHD & BOM)
Declaration of on-hand bags in WorldTracer, description of the bag content and print of OHD bag labels are among the supported features.

Bag reception (DR) & Delivery (BDO)
Agents acknowledge the bag reception and issue Baggage Delivery Orders (BDO) for AHL, DPR and OHD files within airline restrictions. Delivery bag labels and delivery lists are printed to ease collaboration with the delivery partners.
