The Lost & Found Hub is an intelligent web-based platform designed to streamline the management, tracking, and retrieval of lost and found items. Traditional systems rely on manual processes, which often lead to delays, miscommunication, and difficulty verifying the actual owner of an item. This project provides an organized and automated solution where users can upload details of a found item, attach an image, and add verification questions to ensure authenticity. Users who lose items can search the posted items, attempt the verification questions, and submit claims for approval. The admin plays a critical supervisory role by validating user accounts, reviewing posted items, and accepting or rejecting claims to maintain system transparency. The system minimizes fraudulent claims, enhances reliability, and offers a centralized platform for efficient lost-and-found tracking. The solution can be implemented in educational institutions, public places, corporate offices, transportation hubs, or any environment where item misplacement frequently occurs. By integrating image uploads, role-based access, and claim verification workflows, the Lost & Found Hub provides a practical and technology-driven approach to reconnecting owners with their belongings in a faster and more secure manner.
