## Digital identification systems connect products, packaging, and supply chains to real-time authentication and tracking tools.

VeriTrace provides a suite of software programs that help organizations uniquely
identify, authenticate, and track individual products throughout the supply chain.

We don’t rely on one system. We work across multiple software platforms to deliver
the right solution.

Our programs give brands visibility across the supply chain.

Using unit-level identification (UID), VeriTrace software supports product authentication,
track and trace, diversion detection, warranty fraud prevention, and consumer engagement.

Each program is designed to work in real-world environments, integrating with labels,
seals, and packaging to connect physical products with actionable data.

## One system rarely fits all. We deploy the right software to verify, track, and protect products.

### Choosing the Right Verification System

**_Different organizations require different levels of control and accessibility._**

**VeriTrace supports multiple system models, enabling companies to balance visibility,
security, and operational efficiency.**
Our software platforms range from open and
cloud-based systems to controlled proprietary solutions, allowing organizations 
to balance accessibility, security, and control based on risk, audience, and operational
needs.

Whether used by internal teams, channel partners, or end customers, VeriTrace systems
provide visibility and verification without disrupting existing workflows.

#### Open, cloud-based systems

 * Open cloud systems let anyone scan codes to access product information and basic
   tracking.
 * Public QR systems favor easy access, broad use, and fast adoption over tight 
   control.
 * Open cloud platforms work best when visibility matters more than security.

#### Proprietary, cloud-based systems

 * Private cloud systems control who can verify products and capture every scan 
   event.
 * Proprietary cloud platforms reduce cloning and fraud through controlled access
   and monitoring.
 * Secure cloud systems trade universal access for stronger verification and audit
   trails.

#### Proprietary, offline systems

 * Offline systems verify products without internet access using built-in security
   checks.
 * Offline verification works where connectivity is unreliable or scanning must 
   stay private.
 * Closed offline systems favor control and resilience over scale and convenience.

## Operational Benefits of Digital Identification

**Digital identification systems allow organizations to:**

 * authenticate products anywhere in the supply chain
 * detect diversion and gray-market activity
 * monitor distribution channels
 * support investigations and enforcement
 * gather supply-chain intelligence

## QR or DataMatrix Codes – Serialized Barcodes⏎ RFID or NFC Tags – Proprietary Identifiers

VeriTrace software and secure printed products create a practical foundation for
product integrity, supply-chain transparency, and brand protection.

### Built for Cross-Functional Teams

Digital identification systems support multiple stakeholders.

#### Brand Protection Managers

Authenticate products and detect counterfeit activity.

#### Supply Chain Managers

Monitor distribution channels and product movement.

#### Operations Leaders

Integrate verification workflows into existing logistics systems.

## Preparing for GS1 Sunrise 2027

The global supply chain is transitioning from traditional **UPC barcodes to QR Codes**,
enabling far more product information to be captured at the point of scan.

This initiative, known as **GS1 Sunrise 2027**, will allow retailers and supply-
chain systems to scan both traditional barcodes and 2D codes during the transition
period.

VeriTrace helps organizations prepare for this shift by integrating unique QR Codes
identifiers into packaging and authentication systems.
