U-NICA provides actionable solutions to help your business combat counterfeit products and the loss of brand value due to illicit activities
Even with all the technologies currently deployed to help combat the sale of fake goods, counterfeits still make up 3.3 percent of world trade. And that number continues to rise.
Half-measures and single-point solutions have failed to stem the tide of brand-sapping counterfeit products. Measures to protect your brand and products and combat counterfeit activities must be integrated and aligned to create a holistic protection plan for your business. At U-NICA, our scryptoTRACE® solution provides just that.
Here’s how our platform combines these strategies into one minimally invasive solution with proven results.

4 Key features of scryptoTRACE©
1. Print layout management
This allows you to view all the security codes for your products and print artwork, and each print layout takes only moments to create. This feature is web-based and multi-lingual, so it can be accessed anywhere. Take advantage of secure uploads and downloads of art files with each transaction tracked in the log file which is automatically backed up. The print layout management features ensure your data is secure but always accessible.
2. Easy product verification
The mobile app allows for instant product verification, so anyone on your team with a smartphone or tablet can authenticate products immediately.
You can use the app to verify your products with or without an internet connection. The app will scan for the unique invisible product markers and provide instant verification from anywhere across the globe. This means that a variety of individuals, from consumers to inspectors, can verify products while collecting important user data or GEO-tag information. With the easy product verification that scryptoTRACE® provides, authentication and forgery detection has never been easier.
3. Data stored in a central server
You can use the verification data you gather right away. This data is uploaded into a central scryptoTRACE® server, so it can immediately be turned into real-time insight about global counterfeit activity from any location.
Because data is collected and stored in one central location, this important information can be analyzed to help you get better insights about your brand and track product movement globally. This is also key information for other parts of your business, including sales and marketing.
scryptoTRACE® works by incorporating an invisible code into your products that can be used to verify whether the product is authentic or not. You can track your products’ movement across markets, continue adapting your brand and product protection strategy, and respond with countermeasures right away. Your brand protection decisions will be backed with more information than ever.
Verifications range from basic to investigator verifications required for forensic analysis. In addition, scryptoTRACE® gives you the ability to continue adapting so you can predict what counterfeiters will do and stay ahead of their changing tactics. Only with this visibility can you protect your brand value now and into the future.
