Revenue leaks through the gaps between systems that do not talk to each other. A stamp programme that cannot reconcile against a licensing database, or a customs record that cannot be matched to a manufacturer's declared volumes, leaves the gap open however sound each system is on its own.
Trace Core advises government authorities and businesses on digital transformation and supplies the software to carry it, with the objective of reducing government revenue leakage, tackling illicit trade, and improving the efficiency with which government services reach citizens. The same systems carry the brand and consumer protection work into a form a regulator can act on.
This is the work that sits underneath the marking. A stamp proves a thing about one item; a system proves a thing about a market.
