How the Process Works
- During production, each piece is assigned a serial number by the manufacturer.
- The brand registers the serial numbers with Trusted.com, creating a unique eTitle for each item.
- As the item travels down the supply chain, its eTitle tracks every change in ownership. These changes are compiled to create a detailed ownership history provided with every eTitle.
- When working with a customer, a sales associate can access the Trusted.com point-of-sale application with any tablet device to display the eTitle and verify the item’s condition, authenticity, and provenance.
- Once the item is purchased, the customer uses the point-of-sale application while in-store to register ownership of their eTile and create a Trusted.com account. The eTitle will immediately transfer to that account.
- Upon resale, the owner can transfer the eTitle to the new owner’s account within the Trusted.com user module.
The value of owning a Trusted.com eTitle:
- Obtain an item’s comprehensive ownership history
- Verify an item’s authenticity on-demand
- Report items as lost or stolen
- Increase value retention of authentic merchandise
- Accept and initiate eTitle transfers from Trusted.com’s user
module

the eTitle…
- Protect your brand by allowing customers to verify your items’ authenticity
at any time - Improve your supply chain security and internal visibility
- Clearly differentiate authorized retailers from unauthorized retailers
- Protect customers from buying stolen goods in the pre-owned market with
