What Happens After a Counterfeit Is Detected?

Spotting a fake is just the beginning. What happens next is what truly matters. 

With TrueMed, detection instantly triggers a chain of smart, secure, and strategic actions. From real-time alerts and secure data capture to automated response plans and evolving intelligence, every scan builds your ability to respond faster — and smarter — the next time. 

Here’s what unfolds the moment a counterfeit enters the system. 

 

  1. Instant Alert, Verified in Seconds

As soon as a counterfeit is flagged through the TrueMed platform, an alert is triggered. The system cross-checks the suspected inspection against your verified product database — looking for packaging printing to suspect issues, mismatched codes, invalid packaging details, suspicious geolocation, and usage anomalies. 

If it’s fake, you know within seconds. 
No long investigations. No guesswork. Just a confirmed counterfeit.  If needed, results can be quickly confirmed by a human without sending the product to a forensic lab. This allows for a rapid field response based on where the suspect product is found and any upcoming activity in that area. 

 

  1. Secure Data Capture in Real Time

Each inspection adds more than a result — it adds context: 

  • Where was the scan performed? 
  • What does the suspected product look like? Is it authentic? What manufacturing errors are present? Can these patterns be linked to previous cases to indicate systematic counterfeiting across different geolocations? 
  • What product and batch was it mimicking & exp dates (or serial number if available)? 
  • How often has this code appeared elsewhere? 
  • This metadata is instantly logged, encrypted, and routed into your incident management dashboard. You don’t just see that there’s a problem — you see where it’s happening and how it’s evolving. 

 

  1. Triggered Response Plans

TrueMed’s platform can automatically notify your internal teams, law enforcementg, or regulatory contacts depending on how you’ve configured alerts. That means: 

  • Your forensic lab people can go and further analyze / confirm the target and instantly print a full PDF report of the case. 
  • Your supply chain team sees early indicators of diversion. 
  • Your legal team gets notified to investigate IP infringement. 
  • Your field force gets real-time instructions to investigate. 

Think of it as a digital early warning system—customized to your operations. 

 

  1. Intelligence That Grows Over Time

Every detected fake becomes a new data point in a continuously growing counterfeit intelligence network. The more you scan, the smarter your system becomes. 

  • New scan patterns emerge 
  • Packaging fraud trends are tracked 
  • High-risk regions are flagged automatically 

This feedback loop gives you a strategic edge — and it’s something visual-only solutions can’t deliver. 

 

  1. Actionable Reports That Drive Change

Weekly and monthly reports are automatically generated to highlight trends and anomalies. This helps you: 

  • Adjust packaging strategies 
  • Pinpoint vulnerable supply chain links 
  • Collaborate more effectively with regulatory agencies and enforcement partners 

From field scan to global strategy — TrueMed connects the dots. 

The Bottom Line 

TrueMed is more than just a scan-and-detect tool. It’s a full-circle defense system that helps you respond faster, smarter, and with real data in hand. 

Because stopping counterfeits isn’t about catching fakes one at a time — it’s about learning from every scan and building a defense that scales with the threat.
