Automotive and Spare Parts
In spare parts, authenticity is not only a brand matter but a safety matter. Spectrace makes it clear on the spot whether a part arriving at service is yours.
How do you tell that a part arriving at service is yours?
When a counterfeit part fails, the bill usually reaches the original manufacturer. The distinction has to be quick and made at the service point.
- Counterfeit spare parts
- Uncertainty in warranty claims
- Unauthorised sales channels
- Listings on online marketplaces
Where the sector stands
In spare parts, counterfeiting is not only lost revenue. When a part that lacks the expected quality fails, responsibility usually turns to the original manufacturer and the warranty cost lands on the brand.
The distinction has to be quick and made at the service point. When a signature bound to the part is built together with a record bound to the shipment, separating channel product from product that entered from outside becomes possible at the service desk.
How Spectrace approaches it
A signature bound to the part and a record bound to the shipment.
Mark the part
Grafex and Lumvex place an invisible signature on the part or its packaging, so reading at service takes seconds.
Record the shipment
Tagvex follows each part by its own number, so batch destinations are known.
Watch the listings
Authex follows use of your brand across online marketplaces.
What you secure
Once the distinction is clear, three outcomes follow.
Driving safety
A part that will not perform as expected can be identified before it is fitted.
Warranty cost
The failure of a part you never made does not land on your warranty account.
Your authorised network
Product inside the channel is separated from product that entered from outside.

Verification is performed with a defined reader; device distribution is planned around your network.
How does it connect to warranty processes?
