History
2021: Raising 10.8 million rubles from Kirov Group Ventures
In early September 2021, it became known about the investments of Kirov Group Ventures in Pro Control. Under the terms of the transaction, the venture fund of the Kirov Plant received 9% in a startup, which was valued at 120 million rubles. Based on these parameters, it turns out that the fund invested 10.8 million rubles. At the same time, the exact amount of investments in the press release is not indicated.
Pro Control intends to spend the funds raised on increasing sales in the corporate segment and introducing new features for customers.
Pro Control protects products from counterfeiting and unauthorized copying using a sealing label with a non-copy QR code. In addition, through this QR code, you can track and control the movement of products along the distribution chain from manufacturer to consumer, protect any products from substitution (when delivering or fitting), as well as build communication with customers using cashback, shares and other activities.
We see prospects that price chains will be transparent and open, and the buyer can verify the product - cosmetics is or auto parts and find out details, said Kirov Group Ventures. |
One of the first customers of Pro Control is the manufacturer of tobacco products Inferno, which after the implementation of the Pro Control system revealed more than 10 cases of counterfeit products.
By the beginning of September 2021, Pro Control is operating in the markets of Russia and the CIS, implementing pilot projects with manufacturers of equipment and everyday goods, agro-industrial enterprises, manufacturers of auto parts, etc.
