ROCHESTER, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 7, 2017) - Document Security Systems, Inc. ( NYSE MKT : DSS ), (DSS), a leader in anti-counterfeiting and authentication solutions, today announced its AuthentiGuard anti-counterfeit solution has been selected for worldwide deployment by a U.S. based Fortune Global 500 company. The roll out will begin in North America in early 2017 and expand over the multi-year term of the contract to include additional regions.
AuthentiGuard combines a secure mark printed on product packaging with a smartphone application so investigators, supply chain personnel, or consumers can validate the authenticity of products. The results of scans performed in the field are saved in a database which the brand then uses to analyze and identify how counterfeit product is compromising the supply chain. With fraud threatening the safety of consumers worldwide, AuthentiGuard allows brands to protect consumers with product authentication while simultaneously building a more comprehensive view of threats to the supply chain so they can deploy resources to remediate problems.
"Every day we see more and more counterfeit goods on the market which pose a significant threat to consumers," said Jeff Ronaldi, CEO of DSS. "Brand owners are getting serious about fighting the threat and AuthentiGuard is one of the most innovative solutions on the market. Winning a global deployment for one of the largest Global 500 companies is the latest validation for the AuthentiGuard technology as well as an indication that the market is adopting aggressive anti-counterfeiting measures."
The addition of this latest client extends the Company's success in its brand protection portfolio. The Company recently announced an important reseller relationship with SunChemical focused on AuthentiGuard and also announced the closing of a non-dilutive round of financing for an intellectual property transaction.
"We are seeing strong interest in our anti-counterfeiting solutions," according to Mike Roy, President of DSS Digital, whose group has responsibility for AuthentiGuard. "Brands are focused on understanding and remediating their counterfeit problem and AuthentiGuard is one of the only solutions on the market which enables them to detect and deter counterfeits in real-time utilizing smartphones. We expect to see more customer wins in 2017 as brands aggressively fight the threat."
Terms of the agreement will not be disclosed. Revenues are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2017.
