Sansara, the digital subsidiary of Maison Neyret, acquired Advanced Track & Trace (ATT) to expand its connected packaging and authentication platform built around unique digital identifiers for physical products. The deal combines ATT’s code-authentication capabilities with Sansara’s Scalabel cloud platform and is backed by Pochet Group to support larger-scale industrial deployment.
The traceability system supports QR codes, NFC and RFID technologies that can be integrated visibly or discreetly into materials such as glass, metal and textiles without changing product design. The platform is designed for applications including anti-counterfeiting, gray-market monitoring, blockchain-backed ownership certificates, digital product passports and post-purchase customer engagement programs.
For brands and consumers, the technology provides stronger product authentication, traceability and after-sales interaction while improving transparency and resale confidence across luxury and consumer goods.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Connected Packaging Integration
- Enhanced packaging embedded with QR, NFC and RFID capabilities enabling continuous product-data exchange without altering aesthetic design presents new models for lifetime customer engagement and brand-provided provenance.
- Invisible Authentication Technologies
- Stealth integration of authentication markers into glass, metal and textiles creates opportunities for covert anti-counterfeiting systems that maintain product appearance while enabling secure verification at scale.
- Blockchain-backed Digital Passports
- Immutable ownership and provenance records tied to unique digital identifiers open possibilities for trust-based secondary markets and certified resale ecosystems supported by transparent lifecycle histories.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Luxury Goods
- High-end brands stand to gain enhanced assurance of authenticity and resale value through integrated traceability that could shift consumer trust dynamics and after-sales services.
- Supply Chain and Logistics
- Real-time traceability across distribution networks can transform inventory verification, gray-market detection and regulatory compliance through unified digital identification systems.
- Textile and Apparel
- Embedding discrete identifiers into fabrics introduces new pathways for combating counterfeit garments and enabling verified lifecycle experiences from manufacture to resale.
