product authentication + brand protection

Empower consumers to confirm the legitimacy of your product, by simply scanning the QR code on the packaging and immediately verifying its authenticity. This will allow you to protect your customers from counterfeit products and gray market diversion, while simultaneously preserving your brand’s reputation. 

ePacConnect’s secure QR codes have an added layer of security so that with every scan, the authentically is evaluated and verified. The technology is able to detect when a code is copied and counterfeited. The code’s unique design contains proprietary algorithms that are able to detect when a code is not the original. When multiple scans of the same code take place, brands can receive an alert and the individual scanning the code will receive a notification that the QR code may have been compromised.

ePacConnect allows you to track your product’s journey to the point of purchase and beyond all the way through to the disposal or recycling. Collect information all the way down to the individual product level to enhance your business intelligence in a way never before possible.
