Global outsourcing has its benefits, and its down side - an increase in counterfeiting and unauthorized distribution. The rapid proliferation of this activity can quickly erode a company's brand reputation and revenue stream as well as its supply and demand business model. New Momentum's Brand Protection Solution makes it faster and easier for companies who manufacture or use electronic components in their products to identify violations and stop the brand and revenue erosion. New Momentum also offers three other Supply Chain Risk Management Solutions: Supplier Interruption, Partner Compliance and Asset Valuation.
A recent KPMG white paper reported that the main way to mitigate counterfeiting and unauthorized distribution is ongoing monitoring of distributions streams. Until New Momentum introduced our Brand Protection solution, the main way companies attacked this problem was monitoring websites for movement of products, a partial solution at best. And the volume of data and duplications made this kind of monitoring extremely ineffective and resource consuming. Now, our solution allows companies to "see" on a global basis many millions of open market data transactions from a wide variety of sources. And we provide this information to users in a form mapped to their specific needs rather than the traditional "fire hose" approach that makes rapid management execution by exception an impossibility. We've develop a technology that allows us to monitor websites for the types of products that our customers care about most. We create a watch list of components, monitor a variety of sources including trading sites, bulletin boards, grey market and then provide this data to you in a way that can be analyzed for authenticity. With our solution you can continually monitor the open market for violators in a way that puts your prioritized results into a portal and "systematizes" the process. For more information, contact Chris Jensen at (949) 276-5988 |
