Supply chain digitisation to fight illicit trade

Proven digital, data-driven solutions for maximum visibility and control 

Leveraging world expertise
to support governments

Improve tax collection, citizen protection, local economy and foreign investments 

Illicit trade upends the rule of law, erodes public trust in governments, and hampers trade and (foreign) investments. It also poses a significant risk to citizens and public health. 

Dentsu Tracking technology is used by governments to gain data intelligence and to control and monitor activities across the entire supply chain landscape, supporting governments in the fight against illicit trade (counterfeit, contraband, theft, under-declaration, and fiscal evasion). 

The wider benefits ensure the recovery of vital tax revenues, the protection of citizens, and the strengthening of local and foreign investment. 

“I am very pleased about the United Kingdom’s decision to task Dentsu Tracking with the establishment and operation of the new UK Tobacco Track & Trace System. Leveraging the advantages of digital technology, our system supports the UK Government in their fight against illicit trade, thereby helping to increase national revenue collection and protect citizens and legitimate businesses.”
