Generate
Unique, non-sequential codes are created by Hive IP’s proprietary algorithm.
The Hive IP solution
An integrated, end-to-end unique-coding platform.
Code generation, print (in your factory or via your packaging supplier), cloud validation with fraud monitoring, and a Consumer Support Panel — from one team, all the way through. Two print routes feed the same closed-loop validation backbone, so your choice of where to print doesn’t change anything downstream.
The closed-loop architecture, end to end.
From the moment a unique code is generated to the moment a consumer redeems it — one continuous, secure system.
Choose the print route
In-factory ACG
The ACG plugs into existing BBD printers and prints unique codes inline.
Packaging supplier
Codes are supplied to your packaging partner for inside-pack print.
Validate in the cloud
Both print routes use algorithmic validation instead of a database lookup: faster, secure, scalable.
- Fraud monitoring
- API access
- 99.85% SLA
Power the campaign
Brand app or agency platform
Consumer entries validate through the Hive IP API.
Consumer Support Panel
Your support team can inspect codes, claims and audit trails.
Clean campaign data
Every accepted code becomes a cleaner, single-use proof-of-purchase record.
Whichever print route you choose, validation, fraud monitoring, the API and the Consumer Support Panel are identical.
Each pillar deepens into its own page.
In-factory print (ACG)
The recommended primary route. Our small ACG hardware plugs into your existing BBD printers and generates codes on the fly, alongside the BBD on the outside of the pack.
What is an ACG?Packaging-supplier print
For low-volume programmes, pilots, line-constraint cases, or brands that prefer inside-pack printing. We supply the codes; the supplier prints them; we still handle everything downstream.
When this fitsCloud validation & security
Algorithmic validation on AWS, exposed via a single API. Fraud monitoring, optional AI Vision audit workflows, full audit trails, 99.85% SLA. Same regardless of print route.
How validation worksConsumer Support Panel
A web interface for your consumer-support team to check codes, view consumer history, and issue replacement codes — all audited.
