TarbT uses hi-level two-way verification to verify that consumable products are genuinely from the original manufacturer simply by scanning a product from participating manufacturers. The Scan-to-Verify process uses the camera capacity of the user’s mobile phone.

The scanning and verification process is automated. After which the user is expected to enter a provided Verification Token which further gives a second layer of security to ensure the product purchased is not counterfeit.
