At Covisus we offer our vTag® solution to aid brands in protecting and preventing from product tampering, increasing product traceability. Unfortunately, not all brands and companies are aware of the way they can implement product traceability in their supply chain. Pharmaceutical companies are one of the most product tampered industries. Many pharma companies try their best to offer valuable treatment and care for those who are vulnerable and in need. It is an increasing misfortune that pharma companies are under attack by counterfeiters and those seeking to damage pharmaceutical products. The negative effect this has on consumers can potentially be fatal. This tampering not only happens to pills and other forms of medication, but to medical devices as well. Product integrity concerns are not limited. It is up to those companies and brands with the desire to protect their name and integrity to take the step towards supply chain security with the option to integrate product traceability. 

BSI has published an article that briefly elaborates the supply chain concerns on pharmaceutical and medical devices. This concern needs to be put to an end. No consumer should ever be at risk due to product tampering.
