What is UHC?
The Universal Hourly Code (UHC) is a globally unique identifier generated at the start of each UTC hour. Its secure nature enhances trust in the product while offering straightforward methods for authenticating and verifying the freshness of items, effectively attracting customers. Integrating the UHC demonstrates a commitment to quality and trustworthiness, ultimately strengthening reputation in the marketplace.
How UHC Works ?
The Universal Hourly Code (UHC) is a straightforward number string that is publicly accessible and can be directly used on products to enhance transparency. For the best user experience, a QR code can also be generated for the validation URL and affixed to items. This allows consumers to quickly verify the UHC, fostering confidence in the authenticity of your offerings. In situations where a QR code cannot be used, the short or complete UHC number can still be utilized for validation.
What is the Validation URL for UHC?
Each Universal Hourly Code (UHC) is associated with a freely accessible validation URL provided by Bengic. For organizations seeking enhanced control and customization, it is also possible to host a proprietary validation URL for more rigorous verification and promotional efforts.
