Creating Supply Chain Resilience for Brands
Over the last year there has been a significant rise of business online, with over twice as many people choosing to purchases via eCommerce rather than traditional shops and markets. As the world evolves to rely more and more on digital tools, supply chains are also digitising as manufacturing moves to ‘Industry 4.0’.
This fast-moving landscape of change creates opportunities for illicit trade – counterfeit, diversion and the sale of substandard products. De La Rue provides layered brand protection solutions, which combine digital tools and physical security to create trust networks, where today we trace over 1 billion products a year.
Our solution
De La Rue offers a layered brand protection solution through Traceology®, which leverages big data repositories, and automated insights and monitoring, combined with De La Rue's high security holographic labels, which combine to secure the legitimate supply chain of genuine products and bring to light the grey and black market sales.
Through marking each individual product with a uniquely serialised, highly secure label, and by tracking that product to its destination market (combined with consumer and inspector product verification applications) the market level picture of genuine and counterfeit product is built inside the Traceology® database for brand managers to analyse quickly and easily, informing exactly where the problems are.
Traceology® also proactively alerts on detected diversion and counterfeit incidences, drawing the focus of the Brand Manager to the right area at the right time.
