ForgeStop Connected Products Platform — NFC Authentication for Pharmaceutical Supply Chains

ForgeStop’s connected-products platform gives every pharmaceutical pack a secure, individually verifiable digital identity. On the production line, ForgeStop activates a unique tamper-evident NFC smart label on each unit and binds it to a serialised identity validated in real time against the platform; authentication is engineered to resist cloning and replay. A single smartphone tap confirms a product is genuine and each verification simultaneously captures unit-level data (time, location, device, frequency) that the brand views as real-time analytics through a central dashboard, alongside batch-level traceability and geographic insight. The platform is fully deployed and commercialised across IFA Celtics’ prescription and over-the-counter portfolio in Mexico as well as being deployed on additional brands products across Latin America and internationally, distributed nationwide through major pharmacy chains, and operating at millions of authenticated packs per month. It transforms a traditionally paper-based, anonymous supply chain into a connected system that delivers anti-counterfeiting and patient safety, secure unit-level authentication and traceability, regulatory-grade compliance, and a continuous stream of first-party data linking pharmaceutical brands to genuine, verified products in the market — a repeatable model now extending to additional brands and regulated verticals.
