Autentico

Authentic implements RFID/NFC software and machinery for traceability and anti-counterfeiting for Wine & Spirits producers, guaranteeing originality to the consumer. It offers two platforms:

• Autentico NFC, for anti-counterfeiting with NFC and customer satisfaction with dedicated mobile App. It provides for the application of the NFC tag in each bottle and software for location control.
• Autentico Chain, specific for intensive productions, includes the RFID Tunnel (mobile or fixed) to be integrated into the production line to capture all bottles and boxes equipped with NFC. It has the software for production control, real-time warehouse management and picking. It is interconnected to major wine cellar software.

The two platforms make it possible to protect each bottle from parallel market and counterfeiting; in the case of Autentico Chain, it is also possible to verify the distribution of each individual bottle.

The NFC tags used are specific for bottled products, durable and shockproof even for intensive bottling lines. The RFID machines are designed and built in-house.

The solutions have been validated by a partner after more than 3 years of use, to date there are about 20 customers for a total of 2 million bottles with steady growth. Platform cost and maintenance is based on the number of bottles to be tracked, with no fixed costs. As of December 2023, Autentico is part of the Tesisquare Spa group.

The target is represented byI national Wine & Spirits market which has about 255 thousand companies equal to nearly 8 billion in annual sales. The target regions are Triveneto, Tuscany, Sicily and Sardinia for a total of 1,000 customers, 30 of which have a turnover of more than 100 million euros. The two platforms are able to meet the needs of large and small producers. According to market surveys Autentico is sustainable for bottles from 13 euros.

The company's goal is to become one of the national leaders in developing RFID solutions for wineries.
