ABSTRACT:
The embodiments herein provide an authentication and tracking and retail analytics system. The system comprises of code generation module, a database server, an authentication module and a communication channel. A code generation module generates unique authentication code. This unique authentication code is printed/labeled on the product. Label/tag that is marked or contains a hidden code is placed on a product requiring verification. In order to verify the product, the consumer or retailer defaces or scratches a portion of the label/tag and reveals its hidden code. Consumer or retailer sends the product authentication code to a specified number mentioned via any communication device capable of sending and receiving SMS/MMS/picture/graphics. The verification software decrypts the encrypted authenticated code and compares decrypted code with the original data assigned for the code to determine an authenticity of the product and sends reply message to the consumer or retailer.
