Functionality
Legal conformity
Nova Find maps the entire regulatory procedure for lost property matters in accordance with § 965 ff. BGB.
Scoring table
Once all known data on the lost property has been entered, a clear summary of the recorded lost property report is displayed. When the lost property report is entered, it is automatically compared with all existing lost property reports in the system in order to make any possible matches immediately apparent.
Networking
The networking of all participating lost and found offices with citizens is carried out with the help of automatic matching in compliance with all data protection requirements, in particular of the GDPR.
Data (in particular personal data) on lost and found reports are always stored in the context of the respective client of the responsible lost and found office and are not passed on to third parties. Data recorded by citizens in central portals (in particular contact data in the context of loss reports) is only retrieved and made accessible for detailed comparison by users in lost and found offices if necessary (hit suggestion)
Communication
The lost property platform Nova Find automatically informs them when communication with citizens is required (e.g. informing the owner that an item has been found).
Notifications can be sent directly from the system via e-mail or letter on the basis of stored document templates. Document templates can be adapted to individual requirements through customizing (e.g. letterhead and coat of arms).
Warehouse management
The lost property platform Nova Find supports inventory management for warehouse management (as part of the storage of lost property).
The on-site storage structure can be configured independently and stored in the system so that it is always clear where a lost property is located in the warehouse.
Lost property tags can be created from the system to identify lost property. These can also be provided with barcodes to further simplify handling using barcode scanners.

Technical design
Provision as SaaS
The Nova Find lost property platform is provided as a software-as-a-service solution by RUBICON. The technical operation is carried out in our own GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001-certified data centers. The data is stored securely in system databases within these data centers and there is no unencrypted transmission or storage outside these systems. No external cloud systems are used.
Data protection and security
Nova Find guarantees the protection of personal data and complies with all applicable data protection and information security regulations during the entire service period. If requirements change, the platform will be adapted accordingly and in good time.
If RUBICON acts as a processor, data protection compliance is guaranteed and a data processing agreement is concluded in accordance with Article 28 (3) of the GDPR. All data is stored and processed exclusively within the EU, the EEA and, where applicable, Switzerland.
Data management
The multi-client capable lost property platform Nova Find separates the data and users of each system environment from others in order to protect access by external clients or persons. Each authorized user receives their own multi-client capable platform.
In addition, there is a central, client-independent database in which loss reports can be collected and viewed by users (citizens and lost and found offices). The lost and found reports are stored decentrally at the respective lost and found offices depending on the client.
