TRANSPARENT DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS

DIGITAL TRACK-AND-TRACE FOR SECURING PRODUCERS AND RETAILERS

TRANSPARENT DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS

In today’s globalized economy, transparent distribution channels are crucial for both producers and retailers. The ability to trace the journey of products from manufacturers to end consumers plays a vital role in ensuring authenticity, quality, and safety. The introduction of a secure digital track-and-trace tool presents an effective solution to meet these requirements.

IMPORTANCE FOR PRODUCERS

AUTHENTICITY AND QUALITY CONTROL

Transparent distribution channels allow producers to ensure the authenticity of their products. Through digital tracking, they can verify that their products follow the intended distribution path and are stored under optimal conditions, maintaining product quality.

BRAND
REPUTATION

Clear visibility across distribution channels is essential for brand reputation. By preventing detours or unauthorized distribution paths, producers can ensure the protection of their brand integrity and value.

EARLY DETECTION OF GREY MARKETS

Transparent channels aid in identifying grey markets and parallel markets early on. Producers can pinpoint unintended distribution paths and take measures to prevent unauthorized retailers or the sale of counterfeit products.

IMPORTANCE FOR RETAILERS

Retailers benefit from transparent distribution channels by ensuring they only receive authentic products from manufacturers. This promotes product safety and strengthens customer trust, as consumers know they are purchasing genuine and high-quality goods.

EFFICIENCY IN SUPPLY CHAIN

Clear visibility of distribution channels allows retailers efficient inventory management and reordering. By eliminating opaque intermediaries, supply chain processes can be optimized, and costs reduced.

UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF BLACK AND GREY MARKETS

FAQs ABOUT BLACK & GREY MARKETS

The black market involves illegal transactions, while the grey market involves the legal but unofficial sale of goods, often circumventing authorized distribution channels.

The grey market, also known as the parallel market, involves the trade of goods through unauthorized, unofficial, or unintended distribution channels. This can significantly affect the economy in various ways:

  • Revenue loss for authorized dealers and manufacturers
  • Consumer risk
  • Intellectual property violations
  • Market distortion
  • Impact on pricing and brand image
  • Tax evasion and loss of government revenue

The black market can significantly impact the economy by diverting revenue from the government, reducing the effectiveness of regulations, and fostering corruption and crime.

HOW IT WORKS

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING AGAINST REFILLING

We combat counterfeiting with unambiguous authentication of original products. This can be achieved by directly marking the product or by labelling the packaging, for example with security labels. The key issues here are prior opening protection and anti-tampering labelling.
