End-to-End Supply chain Trust
Protect your products with uncopyable NFC authentication. Fight counterfeiting and gray imports with complete track and trace capabilities.
Stop grey market diversion
Grey market goods—also known as parallel imports—are authentic products diverted outside official distribution channels without brand authorization. This costs brands billions annually.
The grey market problem
- Price arbitrage: Distributors exploit regional price differences, buying low in one market and selling in another.
- Channel conflict: Authorized partners lose sales to unauthorized sellers offering lower prices.
- Brand erosion: Products sold without proper support or warranty damage customer trust.
- Revenue loss: Billions lost annually as products bypass official distribution networks.
How TAGBASE solves it
- Complete Traceability: Track every product from factory to end customer with unique identifiers at every packaging level.
- Geographic verification: Know exactly where your products are being scanned and sold with real-time location data.
- Distributor accountability: Link shipments to specific distributors and detect unauthorized channel movement.
- Instant alerts: Get notified when products appear in unauthorized regions or distribution channels.
How it works
From tagging individual products to tracking entire shipments across your distribution network — here's how you get full supply chain visibility in a few simple steps.
Set up your distribution network
Start by adding your distributors, retailers, and partners into the TAGBASE platform. Define who is authorized to receive and sell your products in which regions — so you always know who should have what, and where.
Tag your products
Attach a secure, uncopyable NFC tag to each individual product. Each tag gives the product a unique digital identity that can be verified instantly and cannot be duplicated or tampered with.
Group products into shipping boxes
Use NFC tags on your shipping boxes and scan the individual products into them. This links every product to the box it's packed in — so you always know exactly what's inside each shipment.
Assign shipments to distributors
Assign each shipping box to a specific distributor in the system. Now every product inside that box is linked to the authorized recipient, creating a clear chain of custody from your warehouse to theirs.
Track, Verify & get alerts
Monitor where your products are being scanned around the world in real time. If a product shows up in an unauthorized region or outside its assigned distribution channel, you'll know immediately — allowing you to act fast.
Supply chain challenges Across industries
Every industry faces unique distribution risks. Here's how TAGBASE Trace addresses them.
Cosmetics & skincare
Counterfeit beauty products flood online marketplaces, and distributors resell across borders to exploit price gaps — putting consumers at risk and eroding brand trust.
Tag every unit at production. Track shipments to authorized retailers. Get instant alerts when products surface in unauthorized markets or grey-market listings.
Spirits & fine wines
Premium bottles are diverted from duty-free or low-tax regions and resold at full price elsewhere — cutting into margins and violating distribution agreements.
Assign each bottle a unique NFC identity. Link cases to specific distributors. Detect when bottles appear outside their intended region with real-time scan data.
Automotive parts
Unauthorized spare parts enter the aftermarket through unofficial channels, creating warranty disputes and safety concerns — while undercutting authorized dealers.
Tag components at the factory. Track them through your distribution network. Verify that every part reaching a repair shop came through an authorized channel.
