Authenticity and Traceability for Automotive Parts
Counterfeit automotive components endanger lives and cost manufacturers billions in recalls and warranty claims. TAGBASE provides unit-level authentication that protects your parts from factory to workshop.
Challenges Facing the Automotive Industry
Multi-tier global supply chains and a massive aftermarket create ideal conditions for counterfeiting, part swapping, and unauthorized distribution.
Counterfeit Parts in Aftermarket
Fake and unauthorized components enter service and aftermarket channels, compromising vehicle safety and exposing manufacturers to liability.
Grey Market Diversion
Genuine parts are diverted across regions and pricing tiers, undermining authorized dealer networks and eroding margins.
No Unit-Level Traceability
Without individual component tracking, safety-critical parts cannot be traced from production through installation to service history.
Part Swapping & Relabeling
Used or inferior parts are repackaged and sold as genuine OEM components, putting drivers at risk and damaging brand reputation.
Costly Recalls & Warranty Claims
Poor traceability makes recalls slow and expensive. Counterfeit parts trigger unwarranted warranty claims that drain resources.
Fragmented Tracking Systems
Manual and disconnected tracking across suppliers, distributors, and service networks leaves critical gaps in visibility and accountability.
What Drivers & Workshops Face
End users and mechanics have no reliable way to confirm that the parts they install are genuine — putting safety and trust at risk.
Unable to confirm whether replacement parts are genuine OEM components
Safety concerns from counterfeit brake pads, filters, and critical parts
Reduced confidence in independent workshops and aftermarket suppliers
Confusion and delays during recall campaigns and service notifications
Risk of warranty denial when part authenticity cannot be verified
Lower trust in brand reliability when counterfeit failures occur
How TAGBASE Solves This
Cryptographically secured NFC tags give every component a verifiable identity that can be checked by anyone — from the receiving dock to the workshop.
Uncopyable Component Identity
Each part receives a hardware-secured NFC tag with a unique cryptographic signature. Cloning, transferring, or simulating the tag is physically impossible.
Verification for Everyone
Mechanics, distributors, and end customers can verify any part by simply tapping it with their phone — no app, no special equipment, instant result.
Supply Chain Visibility
Track every component from production through distribution to installation. Identify grey market activity and unauthorized part movement in real time.
Faster, Targeted Recalls
Unit-level traceability means you can identify and locate exactly which parts are affected — reducing recall scope, cost, and time dramatically.
Protect Every Part. Protect Every Driver.

Ready for the EU Digital product passport
The european union is mandating digital product passports (DPP) across a growing number of industries. Brands that sell in the EU must provide detailed product data — from materials and origin to sustainability metrics — accessible via a digital carrier on each product.
TAGBASE's NFC-based infrastructure is built to serve as your DPP carrier. Our platform already supports structured product data, document attachments, and supply chain events — everything you need to be compliant before the deadlines hit.
Discuss DPP complianceTurn every scan into Actionable insight
Every time someone verifies one of your products, TAGBASE captures valuable data points and makes them available to you — giving you full visibility into how, where, and when your products are being interacted with in the real world.
- Device & Browser details
Know which phone model, operating system, and browser was used for each verification — useful for understanding your customer demographics.
- Timestamp & frequency
See exactly when each product was scanned, how often, and detect unusual patterns like repeated verifications that may indicate suspicious activity.
- Geolocation data
When the user shares their location, you get precise geolocation. Otherwise, we still provide country-level data — helping you spot grey market activity or regional demand.
- Portal analytics & raw data export
View all statistics directly in the TAGBASE portal, or export the raw data to feed into your existing ERP systems and run your own custom analytics.
