Cerfinity
Cerfinity authenticates products and records their custody through a provenance record linked to tamper-evident seals with unique cryptographic identities. A customer can check an item by tapping an NFC seal or scanning a QR code without downloading an app or creating an account. The seal can record an irreversible change when packaging is opened, and time-stamped entries can document custody at authorized checkpoints such as producers, distributors, logistics partners, and retailers. Authentication options include NFC, covert micro-mark authentication, and QR verification. Brands can access supply-chain views and counterfeit-concentration data. Listed sectors include spirits and wine, luxury fashion, graded collectibles, specialty food, pharmaceuticals, beauty, and electronics. The pharmaceutical offering includes serialization support, cold-chain monitoring integration, track-and-trace, recall management, and pharmacy-system integration. Cerfinity says its records can support EU Digital Product Passport, EUDR, and FSMA Rule 204 traceability needs. A qualifying brand can use a 30-day pilot with 500 certificates and white-glove onboarding. The Founding Partner plan is $249 a month; NFC seals are billed separately by unit.
