APPRISS RETAIL AND DISA DIGITAL SAFETY PARTNER ON PRODUCT
SERIALIZATION TO ASSIST RETAILERS IN FIGHTING FRAUD AND ABUSE
Integration protects brands and margins
IRVINE, Calif. and SINGAPORE– January 5, 2021 — Appriss Retail, an industry leader in retail
performance improvement solutions, and DiSa Digital Safety (DiSa), an industry leader for digital
security and authentication solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to help retailers combat
fraud and abuse in high-value merchandise. Through this partnership, the DiSa Single Scan Serialization
(3S) Smart Barcode that uniquely identifies each item will be incorporated into Appriss Retail’s analytics
engine for return authorization, Verify®.
“Verify always helps retailers identify and mitigate fraud and abuse in returns while enhancing the
returns experience,” said Steve Prebble, president of Appriss Retail. “Our partnership with DiSa can
produce better outcomes by accounting for serialized products.”
“With our complementary solutions it was a natural partnership,” said Eddie Chng the Managing
Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of DiSa Limited. “Combining Verify’s industry leading
capabilities with DiSa’s revolutionary single scan serialization technology gives retailers the most
comprehensive tools in the industry to protect themselves against fraudulent or abusive returns.”
Managing in-store and online returns is a major challenge, especially while retailers are also looking to
improve the consumer experience through a smooth return process. Verify from Appriss Retail is
designed to analyze a retailer’s data and enable a great shopping experience, while simultaneously
helping to distinguish and deter the small percentage of consumers whose returns are potentially
fraudulent or abusive. DiSa’s 3S Smart Barcode enables the retailer’s point-of-sale (POS) to examine
each individual item’s purchase and return history with one single scan, helping to remove disruption
and confusion for the consumer and associate. Incorporating fraud mitigation analytics from Verify with
DiSa’s knowledge of that unique item provides a level of return detail previously unattainable and allows
retailers and brands to materially reduce return fraud or abuse more than either solution individually.
