A Fragmented System
When a pet goes missing, the current system relies on a fragmented network of local shelters, social media posts, and disparate microchip registries. If a pet loses its collar and isn't microchipped (or the chip details are outdated), recovery rates drop dramatically.
The Unified Biometric Database
PickItBox acts as the central intelligence layer. When pet insurers onboard customers using our API, those biometric profiles are securely recorded via pgvector in our Supabase infrastructure. If that pet is later lost, any citizen or animal control officer can use the PickItBox web app to scan the stray.
White-label Opportunities
Large insurers or municipal organizations can white-label our entire infrastructure. By providing a branded "Pet Recovery App" to their stakeholders powered by the PickItBox engine, organizations increase brand loyalty while directly contributing to higher stray recovery rates.
