From Production to Proof
A step-by-step guide to tracking and eliminating unauthorized distribution using invisible surface fingerprinting.
The Gray Market Problem
How authorized resellers violate distribution agreements — and why visible codes fail to stop them.
Authorized Reseller Receives Product
Your product is shipped to an authorized reseller with agreed-upon distribution terms, pricing, and territory restrictions.
Reseller Violates Agreement
The authorized reseller sells the product outside agreed channels — on Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, or through unauthorized third parties — often at different prices.
Visible Codes Are Removed
Before resale, the reseller removes or covers visible identifiers such as QR codes, barcodes, or serial numbers to obscure the distribution path.
Traditional Tracking Fails
Without visible identifiers, conventional track-and-trace solutions cannot determine which reseller is responsible for the unauthorized sale.
The DynamicElement Disc Solution
How invisible fingerprinting lets you act undercover and build hard proof.
Enroll Products During Manufacturing
A macro camera captures a microscopic image of each product's surface during production. This invisible fingerprint is linked to the assigned reseller in our database. No labels, stickers, or modifications are applied.
Ship to Authorized Resellers
Products are delivered through normal distribution channels. Resellers see no difference — the tracking is completely invisible. Even if they remove all visible codes, the fingerprint remains.
Monitor Marketplaces
You actively monitor online platforms and retail channels for unauthorized listings of your products. When a suspicious listing appears, you purchase the product for verification.
Scan and Match
The purchased product is scanned with a macro camera. Our software compares the surface fingerprint against the database and identifies the exact reseller who originally received it.
Take Action with Evidence
Armed with objective proof, you can confront the violating reseller, enforce contractual penalties, or pursue legal action. The evidence is forensic-grade and legally admissible.
Why Brands Choose Disc
Key benefits of invisible traceability over conventional solutions.
Completely Covert
Unauthorized resellers never know their products are being tracked. You gather evidence silently before taking action.
Works on Any Material
Plastic packaging, metal containers, paper labels — our technology reads surface patterns across all common materials.
No Supply Chain Disruption
The enrollment camera integrates seamlessly into your production line. No changes to packaging, labeling, or logistics.
