Baggage Reconciliation & Tracking Software (BRS · IATA Res 753)
The data layer over the physical baggage system: Baggage Reconciliation Systems (BRS) match each bag to a boarded passenger for security, while end-to-end baggage tracking records the four IATA Resolution 753 milestones (check-in, loading, transfer, arrival) that airlines are mandated to capture. It covers mishandled-bag tracing (WorldTracer-class), RFID and BLE bag-tag reads, and the cloud platforms that feed airlines and ground handlers a live bag journey. Distinct from the physical conveyors and sorters — this is the software and messaging that makes those assets accountable.
"Mega-hubs transferring tens of millions of connecting bags (DXB, DOH, AUH) live or die on baggage-tracking accuracy; IATA Resolution 753 compliance and SLA-grade mishandling rates are board-level metrics for Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad, making BRS a recurring GCC procurement line independent of the conveyor vendor."
