Total Brand Protection
Counterfeiting & Parallel Importing Solutions
DotGuard customized anti-counterfeit systems
DotGuard specializes in the development of Brand Protection systems aimed at individual parts marking and authenticity. Unique programs developed by DotGuard can be used by manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and their customers as an effective means to reduce parallel importing, limit counterfeiting, stop product diversion, and serve as an effective brand protection and theft deterrence tool in the hands of the customer.
While DotGuard specializes in the automotive and motorcycle industries, our Brand Protection systems and solutions can be readily used by a wide range of industries to prevent product supply chain problems at their source.
DotGuard anti-counterfeiting product measures allow any given part to be uniquely and unambiguously identified from other similar parts and hence traced through the supply chain from the initial point of manufacture through to the end customer.
2000 pieces of unique manufacturer and part data may be embedded
and added to each individual part or product - in essence, total brand protection.
DotGuard anti-counterfeit and product diversion programs are designed to:
- Provide ultimate Brand Protection
- Remove parallel importing within the manufacturing supply chain
- Identify copied, counterfeit, or non-authorized goods within the supply chain and prevent their supply
- Prevent product diversion
- Limit sell-backs on faulty non-authorized or counterfeit goods
- Provide manuafcturers and their customers peace of mind through authenticity verification
- Allow manufacturers and rightful distributors to reclaim rightful revenues for themselves
- Be fast and simple to implement and administer
Traditional attempts to thwart parallel-importing and counterfeiting have typically relied on the use of simple generic holographic or other generic label forms. However, in the absence of absolutely unique secure product codes and authenticity systems, these other processes are often replicated by the parallel-importer or counterfeitor and hence of limited value to the authorized owner.
Accordingly, DotGuard develops fully customized systems and procedures which are more than just a label being applied to part or product. Rather the DotGuard system considers all key elements of the supply chain and puts procedures, authenticity steps, and physically unique identifiers in critical areas to ensure compliance, detect non-authorized or counterfeit parts, and assist in identifying those responsible.
While only one part of the overall DotGuard brand protection program, DotGuard identifiers used are high quality tamper-resistant UID labels which can be embedded with up to 2000 characters of unique manufacturer and part information.
Our parts marking identifiers are heat and chemical resistant, absolutely unique, have anti-counterfeit coding and built in security features, and are US Government parts-marking standard compliant. Each and every label used is absolutely unique, custom designed to suit various stages of the supply chain, and are verifible through secure online management systems controlled directly by the manufacturer.
