CertiRx Corporation and IN2trace Ltd Announce a Partnership to Combat Counterfeits in the Supply Chain
Research Triangle Park, NC and Zagreb, Croatia (PRWEB) January 29, 2016 -- Today, CertiRx Corporation and IN2trace Ltd announce a partnership to bring best-in-class tools to the fight against counterfeits, a $600 billion dollar industry that accounts for 5-7% of world trade, according to the International Chamber of Commerce.
Labeled by the ICC as one of the fasting growing economic crimes of modern times, counterfeiting has evolved from a cottage industry into a highly sophisticated network of organized crime which “devalues corporate reputations, hinders investment, funds terrorism, and costs hundreds of thousands of people their livelihood every year.”
CertiRx and IN2trace will now offer TraxSecur™ Serialized Security™, as an integrated component of IN2trace Serialization Software. TraxSecur™ is a data carrying, high-security mark that can be authenticated with a mobile phone. Adding TraxSecur™ to product serialization delivers protection from damaging copies, emulations, and database hacks, while leveraging the investment already required for compliance to government serialization mandates, as there are for products like pharmaceuticals.
“The IN2trace Serialization framework is an ideal platform into which to integrate TraxSecur™ and extract its highest marketable value. We could see how the CureCloud serialization framework brings compliance with existing pharmaceutical regulations worldwide. The CureCloud simplifies operations and extends the life cycle of a serialization system.” said CertiRx President & CEO Tom Mercolino. “We also were impressed by how easy IN2trace makes it to build brand loyalty programs around the integrated solution. These programs will provide brand owners with rich data, ready to be mined by IN2trace’s impressive analytics with the best presentation graphics that we have seen.“
IN2trace Managing Director Kresimir Duracic said, “Beyond pharmaceuticals, there are a number of industries that will benefit from having TraxSecur™ as an integral part of our serialization framework, among them toys, luxury, food and beverage, alcohol, tobacco, and electronics industries. Each company expands its geographic reach to those industries through this partnership, too. Most importantly, by offering TraxSecur™ as part of our serialization framework, we provide our clients with a tool to increase product safety that goes beyond compliance, only.”
