Make your products authentic, reduce export distribution disputes
Whether you’re a manufacturer, reseller, retailer or security checker, you want to give your customers a way of verifying the authenticity of your products, and at the same time, if you’re an indirect exporter, you want to know which countries your products are actually sold in so that you can identify any offenders in your sales network.
Your objectives are :
- to ensure compliance of sales by territory,
- authenticate each product sold
- quickly identify non-contracting distributors,
- strengthen partner confidence,
- protect your brand’s reputation,
- guarantee traceability throughout the export chain.
Productivix offers you a unique, locatable digital signature based on a set of database applications (Platform as a Service Paas) called AuthlocPrint and AuthlocValid, the launch of which was announced in public and in preview on January 21 2025 in the presence of the Dauphiné Libéré and the Chambre des Métiers as part of Artinov innovations.
The idea is to enable manufacturers, retailers and service companies to self-certify their products or services by printing and affixing a unique, encrypted QR code label to their products, with a dual aim: to enable their customers to simply say “make sure your purchases are genuine” by scanning our certificate, or to check that their item is still within the original warranty period.
AuthlocPrint prints certificates, AuthlocValid decrypts them and displays them to customers by locating them.
For you as an export manufacturer, this solution addresses the following concerns of your customers:
- I want to check the authenticity of my item’,
- I want to be sure that my purchases are genuine’,
and responds to your concerns as a manufacturer to :
- check the country of sale of my valuable products for indirect distribution,
- enable my customers to authenticate their items.
The main features of this software pairing :
Simplified authentication: the manufacturer prints and affixes a unique QR code label to each product. The end customer reads the code with their smartphone and verifies the product’s authenticity.
Precise traceability: the company can also track the location of each label by country once the certificate has been verified by its customer: this makes it possible to detect unexpected or illicit distribution routes.
The use of VPNs to mislead a label’s location is detected and prevents access to verification. The “country” location of each label is legally and systematically captured. The location algorithm is perfectly reliable and has been successfully tested in several “closed” countries around the world.
AuthlocPrint and AuthlocValid guarantee product authentication and traceability.
AuthlocPrint + AuthlocValid criteria: simplicity and security
Authenticity is verified by customers or customs without installing an application, simply by reading the QR Code on a cell phone or tablet (with camera) connected to the Internet.

The certificate can also be revoked (==cancelled) by the manufacturer.
The certificate can be eternal or time-limited, so it can be used as a warranty limit.
Advantages of the AuthlocPrint + AuthlocValid digital signature
Accessibility
- all you need is a camera, accessible on any device, multilingual application set,
- ease of use during printing and verification,
- easy access to geolocation data for the manufacturer.
Efficiency
- Country-by-country traceability, counterfeit detection, product and brand protection,
Security
- Possibility of adding an authentication deadline and “Void” labels for maximum security.
A “Void “ label is a label on a special, slightly silver-coloured material, which, once stuck to the product, leaves both a trace of removal on the product and a trace on the label that has been removed, leaving it visible on the new product when it is stuck again and preventing the certificate from being read correctly in Qrcode.
| Void label printed and stuck to the product | Void label printed and after being removed |
|---|---|
 Security label printed and stuck on without any attempt to peel it off |  Safety label printed after take-off attempt |
We sell qualified Void labels in our label format, with the appropriate ink ribbon.
