COLOGNE, GERMANY, December 18, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- European tech start-up Yaliyomo, which recently launched the first blockchain-enabled content management platform, is promising a transformation in the way businesses can fight back against fake jewels and high-end watch forgeries.

As the first tool for content management to fully incorporate blockchain technology, the company’s signature product, Y Platform, offers dramatic improvements to companies in security, content transparency, and traceability by leveraging the platform’s ability to create an immutable “digital sibling” of every product. Digital siblings are fully traceable by retailers and consumers meaning, for the first time, that the luxury goods industry can prove once and for all which goods are authentic, and which are not.

“Companies like LVMH and Breitling are already exploring blockchain-based systems for their content and their products,” said Yaliyomo Co-founder and CEO Nihat Arkan. “It is increasingly the only way that brands can stop the erosion of sales to fake goods and offers consumers some reassurance that their investments aren’t misplaced.”

Each year, over $4.5 trillion is lost to counterfeit goods, and 60%-70% of these sales are in luxury products. By some estimates, up to 7% of global watch sales each year – over 1 billion watches – are fake. The rise of “super fakes” using 3D printing and other advanced techniques make it even more challenging than ever for consumers and companies to authenticate purchases.

Yaliyomo Co-founder and CIO Bjorn Bayard believes the key to success is a solution that fits into existing company processes and is user friendly. “We wanted something that would dramatically improve security and traceability without businesses having to migrate fully onto a new platform, and all the difficulties that can create. With Y, we can get clients set up and authenticated in the blockchain in a matter of weeks.”

The process is even easier for consumers, he explains. “For a customer, all they need to do is download our App, available on the Apple App Store and Google’s Android Store, open their account, and they are ready to go.”

Many companies in the luxury sector have a long history of efforts to defend against forgeries. Makers marks, gem assessments and authenticity certificates are common when buying a new diamond ring or an expensive handbag. But with sales of fake goods rising year on year, many companies are looking for digital solutions to defend themselves.
