DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Bite, part of Markem-Imaje and Dover (NYSE: DOV), and a global leader in connected products technology, was recently named an NFC Forum 2022 Innovation Award winner for "Most Innovative Use of NFC."
Blue Bite's winning program was part of a tech-led re-imagination of a global online commerce company that resulted in a 90% customer satisfaction rate on authenticated transactions. In collaboration with Blue Bite, the company introduced an authenticity guarantee, as well as an innovative NFC-powered program that assures the authenticity of purchases, including refurbished items, dramatically improving the transaction experience for consumers and sellers.
"Our goal is to transform how brands connect with consumers using physical products," said Blue Bite's Co-Founder and Managing Director, Mikhail Damiani. "Blue Bite's authentication experience utilizes NFC tags to deliver increased safety, trust and transparency to consumers, providing them with peace of mind and serving as an incentive for them to scan. As consumers become more accustomed to interacting via scanning products, it opens the door for brands to offer additional value through personalized storytelling, product commerce, circularity and sustainability."
In addition to utilizing NFC tags, Blue Bite unlocks the potential of physical products by empowering brands to build dynamic digital consumer experiences and channel them through physical items using connecting technologies like QR codes and Shadowfencing™.
The NFC Forum Innovation Awards support and recognize the development and deployment of innovative and exemplary NFC products, services and applications, with a focus on improving people's lives through contactless technology.
Blue Bite has also been recognized by dotCOMM Awards, receiving a Platinum Award for Mobile/Apps: Use of QR Code. dotCOMM Awards is an international competition honoring companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry as it transforms how we market and communicate products and services.
