How it Works:

Using our hand held proprietary scanning and cloud technology clients can scan at any location and review aggregated data on any device to detect and respond to counterfeit in their business.

Digital Assurance
Consumers can immediately verify the authenticity of your product by scanning a QR code generated by our authentication software. Consumer assurance delivers brands increased consumer trust, and enable continued engagement with consumers and insights into consumer behaviour.

Smart Labels
A SecureID label provides consumers with a physical symbol of assurance. Our technology embeds tamper evident features into labelling and combined with DataTrace and a QR code enables all the benefits of Digital Assurance.
