Securing

with more than 1.2 billion customers` products
QR codes, duplications, etc. limitations
revealed...Checking Product Authenticity through scanning a tag with the mobile
app, “Hidden Tag”
The safety
and trust of a single pill are important everywhere. However, the damage caused
by counterfeit drugs can greatly undermine brand credibility. Hidden Tag
services have emerged to reduce this risk and to increase brand credibility.
In China, a family bought methylphenidate for
a child suffering from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
However, the drug was not methylphenidate, but a counterfeit containing toxic
substances. The child was exposed to serious health risks, and the family, who
naturally thought the drug they purchased was genuine, was also shocked.
This incident makes us realize how important
brand safety and reliability are.
When choosing brand products, consumers
prioritize safety and reliability. However, consumers` health and safety are
greatly threatened if counterfeit or modified products exist in the market. The
Hidden Tag service has emerged to reduce this risk and increase brand
reliability.
The Hidden Tag service checks the authenticity
of the product by attaching a unique tag to each product.
The tag is attached during the production
process, and consumers can verify the authenticity of the product by scanning
the tag through a smartphone app.
This system is crucial in increasing brand
reliability. Consumers can see a product has a unique tag and trust that the
product is `genuinely` produced by the brand.
Through Hidden Tag, brands can protect their
own unique technology and brand power and maintain consumer trust. At the same
time, from the consumers’ point of view, the safety of the products they
purchased can be guaranteed in a reliable way without having to go through
cumbersome and difficult processes.
In addition, Hidden Tag is a total brand
protection platform that provides not only services against fake products, but
also services to prevent illegal distribution. The Hidden Tag Distribution
Management Service manages the entire distribution process in real time using
the data embedded in the Hidden Tag labels.
In particular, in respect to the information
collected from the scans of consumers for product verification being included
in the Distribution Management System, the Hidden Tag Distribution Management
Service is an innovative solution that includes the final distribution stage, consumer
purchases.
The Hidden Tag Distribution Management Service
sets the area where the product will be sold in advance. When a consumer scan
occurs outside the country of establishment, the information is immediately
checked in the illegal distribution monitoring system. It is possible to check
the records of stocks and deliveries of illegally distributed products and
check and handle the information of the vendor that is the root of the problem.
Hidden Tag’s Distribution Management Solution
can scan stock and deliveries not only with barcodes but also with the Hidden Tag
labels themselves. Therefore, companies that do not have existing barcode
scanner for stocks and delivery systems can use the Hidden Tag system with
their smartphones without building a separate hardware system, introducing them
to the system without worrying about the build and cost of distribution
management.
Choi Jeong Eun, team leader of Sales Team 1
says, "Hidden Tag’s Distribution Management Service has been receiving
inquiries from many customers even before the official launch, since the
service can detect illegal products and problem vendors that exist in the
distribution stage using real-time information and communications. We hope that
this new service will prevent losses caused by illegal distribution and
establish a transparent distribution management system."
"Hidden Tag helps to ensure product
safety and reliability for consumers by tracking the product source and history
to determine whether the product is forged or falsified. Blockchain technology
is used to transparently record the production process and distribution route
of the product, and through this, the authenticity of the product is verified.
These blockchain technologies play an important role in increasing brand
reliability. Consumers can check the product source and history, and trust that
the brand publicly guarantees product safety."
Hidden Tag
also provides consumers with information on product safety and quality.
Consumers can check the results of product warranty
and safety verification through the Hidden Tag app before purchasing the
product, helping to enhance brand reliability. Consumers can easily check
information on product safety and reliability, giving them confidence that the
brand is working for consumer safety.
A Technically Certified Global Business
Service… More than 8 million consumers in 200 countries use this means of
authenticating
With the development of online shopping
platforms in recent years, opportunities to buy products at lower prices have
increased. However, these benefits pose new challenges and problems for
pharmaceutical companies. In particular, online distribution implies the risk
that some products may be illegally distributed or are counterfeits.
In this situation, companies are looking for
ways to safely distribute their products and provide the best quality to
consumers. As one method, more and more companies are introducing the
"Hidden Tag Service" that controls and monitors the distribution
process and allows products to be delivered to consumers who can give feedback.
Companies using Hidden Tag can check where the
product is currently being consumed in real time through scan data from the
unique number attached to the product. Through this, companies can grasp the
distribution path to end users through consumers, and makes it possible to also
acquire management information about global sales trends and new potential
markets.
It is also possible to conduct
promotions/events through consumer scans. Companies can provide events for consumers
through landing pages that display when consumers scan labels. Event promotions
help strengthen brand-to-consumer ties and brand loyalty.
Hidden Tag applications for consumers are
registered not only in the Apple and Google app market but also in China`s top
10 app markets, making them easy to use for consumers around the world. Hidden
Tag is also included as a mini-program in WeChat, China`s main messenger.
Choi Jeong
Eun, team leader of Sales Team 1 says, "We currently have more than 1,100
global customers in 22 countries and are proving the superiority of solutions
with more than 1.3 billion customer products. As a global business service that
is recognized for its technological prowess not only in Korea but also in
overseas markets, about 8 million consumers in 200 countries are using the
Hidden Tag app as a means of product authentication."
