Platform features

Everything you need to
protect your brand.

Built specifically for African markets — USSD-first, mobile-money native, and regulatory-ready from day one.

🛡️
AI Counterfeit Detection
Our risk engine scores every scan 0–100 using velocity, location, and behavioral signals. Counterfeits are flagged instantly.
📱
USSD + QR + WhatsApp
Works on every phone in Africa — no smartphone needed. Consumers verify via USSD, QR code, WhatsApp, or SMS.
🏛️
Regulatory Portal
KEBS, KRA, DCI, PPB and ACA each have their own intelligence portal. Recalls, customs activation, and evidence packages — all integrated.
💰
Tax Compliance Intelligence
KRA sees declared vs actual units in market in real time. Excise duty evasion is flagged automatically with shilling amounts.
📦
Import & Customs Tracking
Every imported batch is tracked from port of entry. Grey market goods trigger automatic customs alerts to KRA officers.
🎁
Consumer Rewards Engine
Consumers earn airtime or M-Pesa rewards for every genuine scan. Higher verification rates = better counterfeit intelligence.
Regulatory integration

Built for Kenya's regulatory landscape.

Every major Kenyan regulatory authority has a dedicated portal on ACID. When you join, your brand is automatically visible to the agencies that protect it.
