A luxury brand with more than 5000 luxury products, more than 60 international branch offices, and a presence in more than 15 countries across the Asian-Pacific region wanted to protect its high-value luxury products that are even traded between collectors.

Challenges:

The luxury brand continuously invested in anti-counterfeit measures to mitigate financial losses and avoid customers’ dissatisfaction with getting counterfeit products after paying premium prices.

The luxury brand decided to implement NFC tags on its luxury products. But there were a few challenges:

• The NFC tags should be tamper-evident so the tags break when a counterfeiter tries to reuse them.
• The NFC anti-counterfeit solution will facilitate the consolidation of inventory data within the company’s ERP system.
• The NFC anti-counterfeit solution should enhance product track & trace functionalities, ensuring efficient supply chain visibility and monitoring.
• The NFC anti-counterfeit solution should employ responsible AI capabilities for accurate risk alerts and anomaly detections.
• Complex workflow requirements by the logistics and sales team.

NanoMatriX went above and beyond to provide premium-quality, highly customized, tamper-evident NFC tags and a cyber-secure anti-counterfeit solution to the luxury brand. We delivered:
