Digital track and trace solutions have long played a vital role for governments and organizations alike, offering real-time monitoring and verification alongside higher security and efficiency. In tax labels, they serve to prevent counterfeiting and tax evasion, securing governmental revenues. For companies, they are helpful in detecting grey markets or optimizing inventory management.
Track and trace functionality also benefits police and law enforcement: As a highly efficient complement to authenticity verification solutions, they can enable officers to check the origin or tax status of vehicles, objects, or goods, and can help to establish comprehensive records and analyses, which in turn permit to prove or prevent crimes.
The TRUSTCODE secure track and trace system combines unique digitally verifiable codes with a highly secure database platform. When a code is scanned with a mobile phone, the system verifies whether it matches the expected valid record in the database. Depending on the configuration, the person who performed the check will see just a validation of his scan, or further information. This could be object details, instructions, or a link to an authorized service. Every scan is logged with a timestamp and its exact geographic position, creating a reliable chain of events for each TRUSTCODE element – highly useful for ensuing analyses, investigations, audits, or field operations.
