NeuroTags Selected by The Kind Pen as Its Anti-Counterfeiting Solution Provider

SAN JOSE, Calif. , February 26, 2019 (Newswire.com) - The Kind Pen, the cannabis industry’s award-winning personal vaporizer brand, has selected NeuroTags to protect its distributors, dispensaries, consumers and its brand from the industry's mounting problem with counterfeiting. Counterfeiting is estimated to be a $1.6 trillion dollar global issue. Counterfeit products are typically poorer quality, oftentimes dangerous and damaging to a brand’s reputation, resulting in lost sales.

According to Anthony Gagliardi, CEO of The Kind Group LLC, “The rapid growth of the Cannabis industry has made it a high profile target for global counterfeiters. We wanted to find the best available solution to provide assurance at every touch point in our supply chain that the products proudly carrying our brand name were authentic.”

NeuroTags provides a unique, patent-pending algorithmic solution embedded in a QR code that can be utilized with any smartphone without the need to download an app. “NeuroTags embedded QR codes are the secret key to our solution," said Harvey Bondar, NeuroTags Managing Director for North America. “Using these keys, the engine that powers our award-winning solution is the cloud based AI system that monitors and oversees the anti-counterfeiting ecosystem we create.”

“In addition," says Bondar, “NeuroTags will provide The Kind Pen, with a direct connection to their retail customers, providing them the data, analytics and a marketing platform to drive incremental sales. Expect NeuroTagged Kind products to hit the shelves in the 2nd quarter of 2019.
