Equation unveils digital anti-theft system
Its associate firm expects the system to be fully implemented by some retailers by 2010
By ZEINAB YUSUF
THE flip side of a problem in the marketplace is very often a business opportunity. Just ask Eddie Chng, chief executive officer of Equation Corp.
To deter thefts in the electronics industry, Mr Chng has invented the Digitally Safe (DiSa) anti-theft system - a patented system that has already won two prestigious Plus X awards in Germany.
The product, launched by Equation's German-based associate company DiSa Digital Safety, allows small electronic devices such as flashcards, USB sticks, mobile phones and MP3 players to be encrypted with a security code at the point of manufacture.
This code can only be decoded by a retailer - after a consumer has paid for the device - failing which the device will not function.
Over a few drinks in 2004, a former business client - now managing director of DiSa, Matthias Claus - told Mr Chng of the challenges facing retailers in Germany. Mr Chng immediately saw an opportunity to fill a gap, putting to use his experience in the electronics engineering industry.
He strongly believes the global downturn and financial crisis have provided him a great opportunity through DiSa.
'When the economy is fine, retailers tend to overlook losses from theft, but in times like these, every cent counts - and this is when a system like DiSa is needed,' he says.
Mr Chng tried to launch the product in April 2007 - during the bull run - but realised that retailers had other things on their mind and cutting costs was not a priority.
Still, he was undeterred. Confident of his product, he held on patiently and took some time to better understand the market. His patience paid off because, according to him, the re-launched product 'has been very successful and the response is more than we can cope with'.
DiSa Digital Safety has already forged a partnership with MediMax, a major retailer that owns over 100 stores across Germany and has begun trying the DiSa system in 13 of them.
DiSa Digital Safety expects the system to be fully implemented by some retailers by 2010.
The business model works by charging manufacturers per code allotted to each product, while retailers pay for the unlocking device.
Codes are priced depending on the nature of the product, from 50 euro cents (S$1) to five euros. The unlocking device costs a one-time 200 euros.
Each product bears a unique identification. Mr Chng says there is no way duplication can occur because every number is tracked in the company's database.
Currently, retailers use huge plastic boxes to encase small electronic items to defer theft - a process that is labour-intensive and expensive, says Mr Chng, who has received plenty of inquiries about DiSa.
'We believe the huge cost savings brought about by using DiSa will be a key attraction for many major retailers in Germany and possibly later, in the rest of Europe,' he says. 'DiSa not only saves costs but also improves the efficiency of their sales staff in stores.'
Optimism about the product's success, Mr Chng hopes the anti-theft system will be expanded to cover all electronic items, making DiSa a worldwide brand name.
