An importer compares a delivery list against cartons in a port warehouse.

Prove every product you import is genuine.

Counterfeits of the brands you import cost you sales and your customers’ trust. With Batach, every product you bring in is protected by anti-counterfeiting methods, and your customers can verify each one is genuine with their phone. When a counterfeit turns up, you are told what happened and where.

What you get with Batach.

  1. Proof on every product

    Your customers verify each product with their phone before they use it. They see right away that it is genuine. They do not need an app or an account.

  2. Teach your customers what genuine looks like

    Show your customers what to look for on each brand: the seal, the tamper marks and the details a fake gets wrong, with close-up photos. Everyone who verifies the product sees them.

  3. Counterfeits found early

    You are told what happened and where as soon as a used code is verified again, a verification fails or a consumer reports a problem.

  4. Recalls that reach your customers

    Recall a batch from your account, and anyone who verifies a product from that batch is warned not to use it, wherever it is sold.

Choose the right protection for each product.

FAQ

What do I need to send for each brand?

You can send a letter or invoice from the company you buy from, such as the manufacturer, the brand owner or a distributor. Or send your import documents, such as your import permit or customs papers. We review them before you can protect that brand’s products.

Do I have to change the packaging?

Usually not. We help you choose anti-counterfeiting methods that work with the packaging the products arrive in, for example a label with a code behind a scratch panel.

Can someone copy a label?

They can copy the printed label, but not the hidden code inside it. Each hidden code shows Genuine only once. If it is copied onto fakes, the next person to verify one is warned and you are told where. NFC chips are far harder to copy than print.

Do my customers need an app?

No. Any phone camera opens the verification in the browser, and they can type the code in instead.

Where do the anti-counterfeiting methods come from?

We arrange them for you. We work with the companies that make NFC tags to get you the tags you need. Printed codes come as one file for your own label printer or printing company. We are there if anything goes wrong.

What does it cost?

We offer a monthly subscription, a contract or a custom plan, depending on what you need.
