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.
