Boston - Business Wire - August 14, 2006

GenuOne today announced the launch of its Brand Protection Management System (BPMS). BPMS, the first of its kind, offers a web-based dashboard for companies to monitor and manage their Internet and physical supply chain anti-counterfeiting efforts in one centralized system. BPMS also provides a content rich platform for brand protection knowledge management, best practices and an industry specific blog site. GenuOne intends to migrate all GenuOne new and legacy solutions to the BPMS for enhanced access and management by brand protection customers. GenuOne is the only provider in the brand protection marketplace offering a comprehensive solution portfolio for clients to monitor the entire supply chain from time of material sourcing through both brick and mortar and Internet retail. Today, GenuOne's clients already enjoy the most robust and flexible solutions to address counterfeiting, gray market diversion and intellectual property infringement.

"The expansion of the Internet and the growing dependence on global markets has placed an enormous burden on brand protection professionals," commented Jeffrey Unger, CEO of GenuOne. "Our clients are tasked with monitoring factory activities in Asia as well as Internet B2B trade boards to counteract brand infringements. Being able to react quickly and decisively is the key to our BPMS portal by providing all the information and data brand protection professionals need in one centralized place."

BPMS will augment customer data with community building components to help users stay up to date on the brand protection industry as well as share best practices. The portal offers the following features:.

  • Relevant brand protection news by industry, including luxury goods, consumer electronics, tobacco, pharmaceuticals and apparel/footwear
  • Monthly content that explores issues and trends that are impacting the brand protection industry
