ASLI

Building trust into product verification.

01

Context

ASLI is a verification platform that helps consumers confirm the authenticity of products — from luxury goods to pharmaceuticals — using a combination of physical tags and digital records.

02

Challenge

Counterfeiting is a trillion-dollar problem, but existing verification tools are fragmented, opaque, and often require specialized knowledge. Consumers needed something instant, trustworthy, and frictionless.

03

Thinking

We discovered that trust isn't just about technology — it's about the experience of verifying. If the process feels complicated, people assume the product is fake. The verification flow needed to feel as simple as unlocking a phone.

04

Direction

Create a single-scan verification experience: one QR code, one screen, one clear answer — backed by a chain-of-custody system that manufacturers, distributors, and consumers could all trust.

05

Making

We built the mobile-first product UX, the verification engine, and the manufacturer dashboard. The identity system uses a minimal lockmark that scales from a 6mm tag to a full storefront display.

06

System

The verification chain connects physical tags, a cloud-based registry, and the consumer app. Each scan updates the product's provenance record, creating a living history that grows more trustworthy with every verification.

07

Outcome

ASLI partnered with 14 brands across fashion, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals in its first year. Verification scans exceeded 500K, with a 97% completion rate on first attempt.

08

Reflection

Simplicity is the hardest thing to design. We cut the verification flow from seven steps to one — and that single decision did more for trust than any technology we built underneath.
