After nearly 30 years in logistics and previously building RoadSync, Akmann identified a simple but persistent travel problem: luggage can dictate what travelers do before hotel check-in and after checkout. He explains how Reclaim combines secure luggage pickup, tracking, airport integration, and AI-powered logistics to give travelers that time back. We discuss how AI coordinates Reclaim’s fleet using traffic and weather data, why airports and airlines are critical partners, the complexity of entering new airports, and Akmann’s vision for door-to-door luggage-free travel.
