I’m a full-time business woman working as the CEO of the digital advertising agency, Major Tom and also a Mom. I have two young boys who play hard whether they are at home, at the park, or at school. I found myself distracted and concerned throughout the work day, thinking about their whereabouts. What if something happened to them? Or what if something happened to their nanny and they didn’t know what number to call? I bought a Tile tracking device and started sewing it into their clothes, ripping up seams in their backpacks, and taping it into their winter boots. Hiding it was a lot of work — if they found it, they would mess with it. And, of course, it would go missing. What use is this tracking technology when it’s getting lost? The company, Wairco, and our first accessory product, was born from the idea of securing this technology in a way kids couldn’t mess with it. Wairco’s AirTag Snap Case is designed specifically to fit the highly anticipated AirTag from Apple - rumoured to be released in early 2021. I’m thrilled after many months of prototyping and user testing to finally bring this concept to life and is eager to get the case in people's hands by Spring 2021.

People are Precious – Start-up focuses on tracking loved-ones not possessions Wairco Goods Inc creates Apple AirTag accessory to give caregivers peace of mind With the impending release of Apple’s latest product, the AirTag, a Canadian start-up has created one of the first accessories allowing users to make the product wearable. While originally intended for tracking possessions, such as laptops, keys or luggage, the Wairco Goods Inc snap case will allow the AirTag to be discreetly and securely attached to clothing. Wairco hopes the accessory will bring peace of mind to parents, pet owners or those caring for people with dementia. Lyn Bryan, the founder of Wairco, says her interest in tracking solutions began when her eldest son was preparing to go to Kindergarten. Seeking a solution that would allow her to track the whereabouts of her little boy after he boarded the school bus, she experimented with Tile tracking stickers, and was faced with problems. From her son being able to easily remove the sticker and unintentionally losing it, to the Tile not having the network support to provide real time tracking, it was not the reliable solution she had hoped it would be. As the the CEO of a celebrated Canadian and US digital agency called Major Tom, Lyn has been a full time working mother since her both her boys were 6 months old. It’s not a new scenario to be away from her kids, but sending them out into the world created stress and anxiety nonetheless. Lyn’s research extended beyond the application of Tile, and when she learned of the pending release of Apple’s AirTag she got excited. However, the challenge still remained - how would she attach this tag to her son so that she would have confidence that he was wearing it regardless of the activity he was enjoying at school. “I was inspired and motivated to launch a company that’s mission hit so close to home. There are many people, just like me, who worry throughout the work day about the whereabouts and safely of their children. The issue extends far beyond my household too. I have watched my father in law struggle with dementia for many years now, and witnessed the struggle and resilience of my mother in law caring for him over the years... and wondered how or when a solution would become available that could create security for them both. The fear of him leaving the house, and wandering off became an unfortunate reality last summer in the late stages of his disease. I have experimented, and failed with Tile, and with the anticipation of AirTag I was motivated to find a solution with that would allow caregivers just like me, or my mother in law, peace of mind by attaching the technology to clothing in a way that the vulnerable party could not remove it with ease.” Wairco have been prototyping and working with best in class product developers to find a solution to the problem of attaching tags to clothing. Further to that their exploration has allowed them to develop concepts for attaching tracking tags after the release of their first product the Wairco Snap Case for Apple AirTag. “When AirTags do finally hit the market, which we hope will happen next week, we will be moving quickly to manufacture and distribute our product. We can’t wait to bring our invention to the world. The Wairco Snap Case is patent pending, and we have ambitious plans for expansion into many more products following our launch. We hope to inspire both the everyday user and also investors who are looking into the future prospects of smart trackers.” To find out more, and follow the journey of Wairco visit Wairco.com and subscribe for updates.
