For brands · Free pilot

When shoppers check your products, make sure they see the real thing.

The CheckTag brand portal lets you keep your products' details right, see where they're scanned, give every pack a code shoppers can check, and reach people when something's wrong.

What you get today

Everything here works now, for every brand in the pilot.

A verified brand badge

We check your company before you get access. Your products then show a Verified brand badge to everyone who scans them.

Your products, your details

Claim your barcodes, then correct names, photos, descriptions and ingredients yourself. Changes go live straight away, marked “Provided by” your brand, and you can undo them.

Scans by country

How often each product is scanned, in which countries, and what shoppers were shown. Country only: we never show you who scanned.

Reviews and replies

Read what shoppers say about your products and reply publicly, as your brand.

Shopper reports

See problems shoppers report with your products, such as a suspected fake or an expired pack, with the photos they took.

A code for every pack

Make serialised QR codes, each signed with your brand's own key, and print them on your labels. Shoppers scan one to check that pack is genuine.

Clone alerts

If one code is scanned in two countries, or by more people than a single pack would be, you get an alert and shoppers are warned.

Recalls that reach people

Write a recall or safety notice. Once we've checked it, everyone who scanned the product in the last year is notified, and every scan shows it.

Good to know

What does it cost?
Nothing during the pilot. Prices for later haven't been set.
Do shoppers need the app to check a code?
No. A CheckTag code is a link, so any phone camera opens it and shows whether the pack checks out. The CheckTag app does the same.
How do you detect copied codes?
Each code belongs to one pack. We look at the country each scan comes from (never a precise location), how many different people scan it, and how often. A code that turns up in two countries is very likely copied.
Who can see our data?
Only people from your company that you invite. Each person signs in with a password and an authenticator app, and you choose whether they can make changes or only view.
What isn't there yet?
An API and webhooks, single sign-on, and linking cartons to the units inside them. Tell us in your application if you need them.
