These codes allow distributors, retailers, and consumers to verify authenticity by scanning the product, while the system tracks suspicious or repeated scans to identify counterfeit activity in the market.

07 What is the best anti-counterfeit solution for FMCG brands?

The most effective solution for FMCG is a QR-based authentication system combined with track-and-trace technology. It enables brands to monitor each product from manufacturing to consumer verification and detect fake or refilled products quickly.

08 How does a QR code authentication system work?
