ProtectCode turns product packaging into a first-party consumer data channel with serialised QR codes, GS1 Digital Link compliance, and supply chain traceability for manufacturers.
Turn Every Product Into a Connected, Intelligent Asset
ProtectCode is a SaaS platform that transforms product packaging into a direct, first-party consumer data channel. Every product unit receives a unique serialised QR code that captures consented consumer data at the moment of scan - delivering geographic intelligence, scan patterns, and engagement signals directly to your marketing team.
Built for manufacturers in FMCG, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, wine, agriculture, mining, and consumer goods - sectors traditionally removed from the direct consumer transaction.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

You choose from three contract tiers based on how many serialised ProtectCode codes you need. Starter, Professional, and Scale each bundle a set allowance of codes, billed monthly or annually. The annual subscription includes a larger yearly code pool. As you move up the tiers, the included code volume rises and the pay-as-you-go rate for extra codes drops. If you exceed your allowance, each additional code is charged at your tier's per-code rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one ProtectCode code for billing purposes?
Each code is a serialised QR code that makes a single product unique. Unlike a standard QR code repeated across items, every ProtectCode is generated individually. You are billed per code generated, so your count matches the number of unique products you mark.
What happens if I use more codes than my tier's monthly or annual allowance includes?
You keep generating codes past your allowance. Each additional code is billed at your tier's pay-as-you-go rate. The rate differs by tier: Starter, Professional, and Scale each carry a set per-code overage price. Charges apply only to codes beyond your included pool.
Does the annual subscription meter codes differently from the monthly option?
Yes. Monthly billing gives you a per-month code allowance. The annual subscription bundles a larger yearly pool instead. For example, Scale includes 105,000 codes monthly or 1,250,000 yearly. Both options charge extra codes at your tier's pay-as-you-go rate once the allowance runs out.

TracBrand is brand protection software for teams who have to remove
infringement, not just monitor it. It sweeps marketplaces, six social networks,
video, app stores and the open web for counterfeits, impersonation, logo misuse,
piracy, gray-market selling and lookalike domains, judging every candidate
against your own logo and registered marks with a multimodal vision model. What
reaches your queue is a case with evidence attached, and a platform-correct
takedown notice drafted for approval, then chased until the platform responds.
TracBrand is built by 1stRound AI in Coimbatore, India.
