Unotag vs Genefied

Genefied has also been recognised for anti-counterfeiting technology and describes digital warranty and supply-chain traceability alongside loyalty. That is a coherent product family and it is genuinely built around the thing it started with.

Ask who inside your company owns the budget and what they were asked to fix:

• Brand protection or legal owns it, the trigger was seized counterfeit stock, and the success metric is fake product detected and removed → a verification-first architecture is the right shape, and Genefied is a serious answer.
• Sales or trade marketing owns it, the trigger was losing specification share to a competitor's scheme, and the success metric is share of business from engaged members → a loyalty-first architecture is the right shape, and that is what we build.
• Both, genuinely equally → whichever vendor lets one scan do both jobs without the second feeling bolted on. Test this in the pilot rather than in the demo.

Our argument is that in Indian trade channels verification only works if the tradesman is already scanning, and he only scans habitually if there is money in it. Serialise everything and publish a verification app, and scan rates stay low because nobody has a reason to bother. Pay ₹5 a fitting, and the same man scans forty times a day — and every one of those scans is also a verification event and a data point on where your material really goes. Verification rides on the loyalty habit.

The honest cost of our approach: we are not a brand-protection suite. If you need deep track-and-trace across a multi-tier supply chain, aggregation and serialisation hierarchies for regulatory purposes, or forensic tooling for enforcement actions, a verification-first vendor has spent more years on that than we have. We would tell you so in the meeting.

• Field enrolment and retention — around 5 million members, WhatsApp-first onboarding, and the offline-scan-and-sync path that decides whether a basement scan is ever recorded.
• Payout reliability and Section 194R — aggregation per PAN across every scheme, deductions visible in the member's own ledger.
• Reward services — a 10,000-plus product catalogue with doorstep delivery and co-branded reloadable cards.
• The invalid-scan map. Because loyalty drives volume, our counterfeit signal is dense — clusters of failed code validations show where fakes are circulating months before the sales team reports it. That is the anti-counterfeit argument for a loyalty-first design, and it only works at scan volume.

1. Show a live invalid-scan map from a real account, identifiers removed. Density is the whole argument.
2. What happens when a member scans a genuine code that has already been claimed — blocked, held for review, or silently failed?
3. Where does the code physically sit, and can your printing partner apply it inside the primary pack at line speed?
4. How is Section 194R aggregated when a member earns across three schemes?
5. What do we get back on exit — member records, ledger history, code databases?

Whichever way this lands, evaluate on the things that decide whether a program survives its second year rather than on the demo: first-attempt payout success rate, code integrity at packing-line volumes, native Section 194R aggregation per PAN, tunable fraud thresholds, support in your members' languages, and what you get back if you leave.
