VerifyMe's VeriPAS™ is an upgrade from what we were previously doing and something we believe our existing clients can integrate with and new clients will desire. We have already highlighted the areas of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and consumer products, where we have clients and relationships that seek serialization and track and trace solutions.

Combining our counterfeit protection technologies with their expertise in building pharmaceutical manufacturing systems is a win not only for their pharmaceutical clients but for the people that need to be protected from harmful and deadly counterfeit drugs.
