AMS IT Solutions Powers Jazwares’ Rare Figure Authentication with Cutting-Edge Blockchain Technology
BENTONVILLE, AR – October 26, 2023 – AMS IT Solutions LLC, a leading provider of innovative technology solutions, today announced its successful collaboration with Jazwares, a global leader in collectible toys and figures, to enhance the authenticity and traceability of its highly sought-after rare figures. This partnership leverages AMS IT Solutions’ expertise in blockchain technology to create a secure and transparent system for verifying the legitimacy of these collectibles, giving fans peace of mind and protecting against counterfeiting. Jazwares is huge in the collectible world. They make all sorts of awesome toys – Squishmallows, Fortnite figures, Pokemon plushies – you name it. But with popularity comes a problem: fakes. There are a lot of counterfeit toys out there, and it's getting harder and harder for collectors to know what's real and what's not. This is especially true with their rarer, limited-edition figures, which can fetch a pretty penny on the secondary market. “We knew we needed a solution that wasn't just secure, but also easy for collectors to use,” explains a representative from Jazwares. “We want people to enjoy collecting without worrying if they’re getting ripped off. AMS IT Solutions understood that need immediately.” How it Works: Blockchain to the Rescue AMS IT Solutions developed a customized blockchain-based system that creates a unique “digital fingerprint” for each rare Jazwares figure. Here's the breakdown, in plain English: Unique Identification: When a rare figure is manufactured, it's assigned a unique, unchangeable digital ID – basically, a barcode on the blockchain. Secure Registration: This ID, along with details about the figure (name, series, production date, etc.), is recorded on a secure, decentralized blockchain. Think of it like a super-secure, tamper-proof digital ledger. Verification Process: Collectors can easily verify the authenticity of their figure using a simple scan of a QR code on the packaging (or on the figure itself). This scan links directly to the blockchain record, confirming its origin and legitimacy. Traceability: The blockchain also tracks the figure's journey – from the factory to retailers and, eventually, to the collector. This provides a complete history of the item, adding to its value and provenance. “We didn’t want to just build a cool tech solution,” says Alex Martinez, CEO of AMS IT Solutions LLC, based in Bentonville, Arkansas. “We wanted to create something that genuinely benefited collectors and protected the integrity of the Jazwares brand. Blockchain is perfect for this because it’s inherently transparent and incredibly secure. It’s almost impossible to counterfeit a record on the blockchain.” AMS IT Solutions (you can reach them at 786-509-4918 or visit their office at 609 SW 8TH ST STE 600, Bentonville, AR, 72712-8706) specializes in tailoring cutting-edge technologies – like blockchain, AI, and cloud computing – to solve real-world business problems. They're not just about tech jargon; they’re about delivering practical, impactful solutions. Why This Matters to Collectors For serious collectors, knowing the authenticity of a rare figure is everything. A counterfeit figure not only lacks value but also diminishes the enjoyment of collecting. This new system gives collectors several key benefits: Peace of Mind: Collectors can confidently purchase rare figures, knowing they are getting a genuine product. Increased Value: Authentic, verified figures are more valuable on the secondary market. The blockchain record acts as a certificate of authenticity, boosting its resale price. Transparency: The system provides a clear and verifiable history of the figure, adding to its provenance and collectibility. Easy Verification: The QR code scanning process is quick, simple, and user-friendly. Beyond Authentication: The Future of Collectibles This collaboration between AMS IT Solutions and Jazwares is more than just a solution to the counterfeiting problem. It's a glimpse into the future of collectibles. Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the industry by: Creating Digital Ownership: Allowing collectors to truly own their digital collectibles through NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). Building Community: Connecting collectors through blockchain-based platforms and communities. Enhancing Engagement: Providing new and innovative ways for collectors to interact with their collections. Combating Fraud: Providing a secure and transparent system for tracking and verifying collectibles. “We’re really excited about the possibilities,” adds Martinez. “This is just the beginning. We see a future where every collectible is linked to the blockchain, creating a more secure, transparent, and engaging experience for collectors around the world.” Jazwares plans to roll out the blockchain authentication system across its entire line of rare figures in the coming months. Collectors can look for the verification QR code on packaging and rest assured they are getting the real deal. AMS IT Solutions is continuing to work closely with Jazwares to expand the system’s functionality and explore new applications of blockchain technology in the collectibles industry. This is a win-win for collectors, Jazwares, and the future of collecting.
