More Than a BRS: Rethinking Baggage Management – Flexible, Web-Based, Comprehensive

Efficient, secure, and transparent baggage handling is a cornerstone of airport operations. With SimpleBag, we offer far more than a traditional Baggage Reconciliation System (BRS) – it’s a fully integrated, modular Baggage Management System that supports all baggage processes across the entire travel chain.

Scalable for Airports of All Sizes – Regional and International

Thanks to its modular design, SimpleBag can be deployed at airports of any size – from small regional airports to major international hubs. The solution grows with your operational needs and adapts flexibly to your workflows.

Extensive System Support – Seamless Integration

SimpleBag supports the standardized exchange of Type-B messages according to IATA RP1745, as well as modern messaging formats such as BIX and IATA RP1755. Additionally, we have extensive experience with the direct integration of common DCS systems, including iPort and Amadeus Altea. This ensures seamless integration into your existing system landscape – reliably and with future-proof technology.

State-of-the-Art Web Technology – Device-Independent and CUTE/CUPPS-Ready

Built on modern web standards, SimpleBag can be operated from any device with a current web browser – with no need for local installation or additional certification. This also enables full use at CUTE or CUPPS workstations without technical obstacles. The result: reduced overhead and increased operational availability.

End-to-End Baggage Management

SimpleBag follows every bag throughout its entire journey:

  • Check-in, including off-airport locations
  • Bag drop, with interfaces to systems like SITA IPS
  • Sorting and security screening
  • Loading, including load planning
  • Transfer and arrival processes
  • Lost&Found, with tracking and status management

SimpleBag also supports exceptional handling, such as the acceptance of IRROPS baggage (irregular operations) from other airports and manual baggage status setting (e.g., standby, offload) – wherever conventional DCS systems reach their limits.

RFID, GPS, Images, and Passenger Data – All in One System

SimpleBag enables far more than just scanning bag tags. The system supports:

  • RFID tracking points
  • Baggage images for visual identification
  • GPS data for real-time location tracking
  • Linking with passenger information

This creates a transparent and traceable baggage process that enhances both security and efficiency – from check-in to delivery.

Digital Ground Handling – Real-Time, Direct from the Ramp

A key advantage of SimpleBag is its digital support for loading processes. Airline load plans are automatically imported, digitized, and made available in real time on mobile devices used by ramp agents and load controllers. This provides a single source of truth for planned vs. actual data and ensures full transparency during aircraft loading.

With the ability to process additional Type-B messages and integrate with AODB and other airport systems, SimpleBag becomes a central interface for operational insights. Whether it's ULD management, inbound load tracking, or PRM coordination, all information is brought together in one platform.

SimpleBag – Operational Expertise Meets Modern Technology

SimpleBag was designed with a clear goal: to make operational baggage processes more efficient and more transparent. The system combines practical functionality, user-friendly interfaces, and the flexibility of modern technology – a tool built for those managing baggage every day.
