Brady Corporation has become the first authorized reseller of the HP Global Product Authentication Service (HP GPAS), a flexible, cloud-based product that enables clients to identify, locate and combat counterfeit activities.
Offered by HP Software Professional Services, HP GPAS generates security codes that Brady Corporation can download and apply to its customized authentication labels. The process of printing and shipping the labels occurs within Brady Corporation’s secure infrastructure to help eliminate the potential for theft or fraud. Brady Corporation’s facilities are certified by the North American Security Products Organization (NASPO), a nonprofit organization that certifies providers of security materials under a set of operational standards and security protocols.
“Counterfeiting and product diversion are complex and potentially detrimental problems that many industries face on a daily basis,” says Matthew Williamson, president, Brady Americas. “By extending HP GPAS cloud-based capabilities, we offer peace of mind to our customers with holistic product authentication, tracking services and analytics that counteract counterfeiting and ensure brand integrity.”
With advancements in smartphone technology, Brady Corporation says it recognized the increasing role consumers play in the product-authentication process. After researching multiple providers of product authentication services, Brady Corporation selected HP GPAS and signed on to be an HP GPAS Foundation Partner.
Part of the HP Converged Cloud portfolio, HP GPAS aims to provide a secure method for creating security codes and employs a mass serialization engine that generates unique codes.
