Product Recalls: an avoided nightmare
In the past, product recalls were relatively straightforward and would usually have passed unnoticed by the public. Today, recalls are much more complex and the stakes higher – both in terms of the potential impact to a company’s profits and reputation.
Product recall exposures have increased substantially over the past decade, shaped by tougher consumer regulation, the rise of social media and the increasing complexity of supply chains, according to Christof Bentele, Head of Global Crisis Management at AGCS. The regulatory environment, in particular, has changed dramatically over this period, Bentele tells Global Risk Dialogue. “Many countries – including the US, China, Australia and those in Europe – have implemented much stricter product safety laws. At the same time authorities are now far more proactive when it comes to product safety,” he says.
Recall exposures have also grown with the rise of large multi-national corporations and the development of complex supply chains in sectors ranging from food to automotive to electronics.
“Fifteen years ago the ingredients for a burger purchased in a fast food restaurant would have mostly been sourced locally,” says Bentele. Now the spice may come from China, the gherkin from the US and the tomatoes from Spain, while the meat could be from multiple sources".
At Validactor we are facing recall management in the most efficient possible way. Since we do serialize each product unit we can issue product’s recalls both on a single and on a batch level. The entire process is only few clicks long.
If the recalled products are still unsold either on store shelves or at distributor facilities the recalled products became unsellable and this is verified by simply scanning the relevant VACode. In the case of products that have been already sold, an immediate notification is automatically sent to the purchasers of each sold item.
We have managed to implement different levels of recalls as shown in the image below:

“ At Validactor we are making difficult things easy.” said Maria Profeta, Validactor CEO and Managing Director “we are simplifying tasks that were difficult to implement and we are granting access to any manufacturing company, regardless of its size. Today using Validactor any company can easily protect its production from counterfeits, correctly profile its customers, manage and track any product status such as expired, recalled, seized, prototype, sample, etc, can also manage product warranties and lost and found with few simple clicks” Mariella added.
Ask us how to implement Validactor within your organization, it is simpler than you can ever imagine.

More than 25% of Facebook Ads promote fake products
At first glance, the ads look legitimate and lead to websites that have an identical look and feel as the real ones, potentially tricking Facebook users into believing they're buying real luxury products. There's no expense spared in duping consumers- these bogus sites even include fake security seals, typically issued by Norton or McAfee, to sway consumers into believing that the check-out process is secure and safe.
Many of these sites are registered in China and their owners are linked to Chinese email addresses. Google removed more than 220 million "bad ads" from their network in 2012 and 350 million in 2013.
Tamper proof documents made easy
- Pay-slips / Pay stubs: These are often submitted as part of loan applications to third parties
- Appointment Letters: Issued to a new employee at the point of joining
- Experience Letters: Issued to leaving employees
Banks and brokerage companies issue account statements for their clients. These statements are used for address proof, net worth and proof of financial standing etc. It is important for the third party that is examining the statement to be satisfied about its authenticity. Usually there is no problem in confirming the information between the issuer and the customer since each side has access to database or to the account through network login. However the third party doesn’t have this access and therefore wants the bank to “attest” or “authenticate” the information.This requires time and effort. Our technology allows the information in the statement to be sealed and digitally signed by the authorized signatory of the issuer. This can then be verified using our Validactor app.
Validactor is also suitable for the following kind of documents:
- Account Statements, Certificates and Transaction Advice: to avoid tampering or fake creation of such documents.
- Payment Systems: With the increasing use of electronic payment mechanisms, there is a need to verify the credentials of the payment receiving party along with the transaction details so that the money can be credited into the correct account. As such our technology offers a way to verify the meta information of billing organizations giving the payer the comfort that the instructions to move the money will be correctly executed. The meta information is presented to the payer in the form of a QR code which once scanned, can help to confirm the credentials instantly after which the instructions for funds transfer can be given. This works seamlessly in the cashless, paperless and present-less world of digital money.
Using Validactor can help drastically curb statement fraud and improve processing workflows. Further you can improve fulfilment chain integrity incase you use outside providers for document production. Our platform is designed for easy integration and cost effective for automated production of such documents.
And also Degree and Diploma Certificates, Semester Transcripts, Government issued certificates, Licenses and Permits, Passports, Driving Licenses, Receipts, Prescriptions, Insurance certificates and any legal or notarized documents.
