Sproxil + IBM: Sproxil Wins Boston IBM SmartCamp.
Hello The Street, VoA and VentureBeat folks!
We're nationwide in Nigeria with real impact: 800,000+ pharmaceutical items labeled with Sproxil's technology, tens of thousands of SMS messages already processed.

What do you do? »

We provide software and systems that capture market intelligence in emerging markets using cell phones.

Our service provides automatic protection against counterfeiters.

By providing you with a comprehensive anti-counterfeiting strategy for cash-based societies, we help maximize your brand's value and safeguard it against future erosion.

Why does it matter? »

Brand and product pirates in emerging markets pose a significant risk to legitimate manufacturers, leading to brand degradation, decrease in sales, consumer purchasing apprehension and exposure to lawsuits.

Over $500 billion in counterfeit products are traded yearly, depriving genuine businesses of significant revenue while compounding the job of government enforcement and regulatory bodies.

How does it work? »

We've designed technology specifically for emerging markets. Using any cell phone, your customers can text message an item-unique code and get an instant response confirming your brand's genuineness. You can then send highly relevant targeted offers to your consumers right at the point of sale, a world-first innovation by Sproxil. Brand owners can also:
  • Lock down supply chains to prevent product diversion.
  • Access live market intelligence in cash-based societies.
It's more secure than holograms: the booming multi-billion dollar mobile phone market has been using a method similar to Sproxil's for the last 15 years without any major flaws.

Who can benefit? »

Sproxil's solution provides numerous benefits for governments, drug regulators and law enforcers, industry and professionals, foreign donors, foundations and non-profits, telecom operators and consumers.
